Fiddle Music

Well, this is my page on all things fiddle. I plan on making this a fairly large repository of music, midi, loops and samples to help out folks learning to play. The stuff here might be a little advanced and unfortunatly, you will need to read music. I will try to work out Tabs, but I pretty much learn by ear and can read music. Tab does not really work too well for fiddle in my opinion.

For the most part, I will try to provide the music, MIDI file, hints and audio when I get around too it. Im a little wary on copyrights so when in question, it will not be here. I have some stuff worked out that we could trade if your interested. My style is pretty much Kenny Baker Bluegrassy, but I do other styles too.
I have recently bought ACID and will also work on loops for practicing and maybe get a few royalty-free loops out for you dubkats.
