Darol & Furies work out on Elzic's Farewell
Sat, 06/08/2013 - 8:00am
From the Furies' May 2013 Freight And Salvage performance. This tune is a real winner; one of the better "stories", both in a musical sense and also in the historical department. The tune itself has 3 parts, with a winning hook on the 3rd part, which we begin and end with. The general version of the tune comes from guitarist Scott Nygaard's adaptation; he developed the melody of the A part in particular. I added a chromatic descending and ascending line to the not-very-interesting 2nd part, and doubled the length. Then... we jammed. In particular, Tristan's cello playing on this tune must be heard to be believed.

Getting your fiddle in tune is something that is so important, and unfortunately, often overlooked. As Darol says in the fiddle lesson here, it's something you'll be working on for your entire fiddle life. It's a never-ending struggle, even for Darol who's been playing fiddle for almost 50 years. But the good news is that we're here to help!
