Boil Them Cabbage Down

[tmurray]

As I said in my introduction, I’ve had my fiddle for around 3 weeks now. I’ve been searching the web for online lessons and thankfully I came across Bluegrass Daddy. After signing up I wasn’t sure where to start. So, I threw a dart at the lesson list and it looks like Boil Them Cabbage Down will be the first tune.

Here’s a couple videos from YouTube you might enjoy

The First one is Mark O’Conner

This second one might take you back to better time.

Boil ’em Cabbage Down is a great choice!  Let us all know how it goes!  Maybe you could even play it for us if you want to.

It was the first tune I learned.  Good choice.  You can single-string it at first, then add double-stops and a lower octave later as you progress…   you can even throw in a double shuffle when you get better.
