Southern flavor

[Nancy Bitter]

Is there any sheet music for southern flavor????

[Frederick]

There may be some out there somewhere but I haven’t seen it. I played it over a bunch of times until I finally got it. It’s in E Minor and uses Em, G, D and B7 double stops.

Thank you!

Hi Nancy –

Nancy, here’s a version I fiddled out just playing with variations on the general theme. I forgot where I got the backup tracks. 🙂

Wow!  Great fiddling, Fred!  I enjoy your website.

Here’s the Bill Monroe youtube:

Thank You very much, Nancy P. I appreciate your kind comments. There are so many ways to play Southern Flavor on the fiddle, it’s incredible. The Weiser book you linked to is really cool. 🙂

The you tubes are great but is there slower version? They play way too fast for me to hear where they go

[Frederick]

I’m not sure whether this will help or not but I’ll suggest it anyways: Take the video right above here and watch it on YouTube. When it first appears, go to the little gear-looking wheel on the right hand bottom of the screen and press that and select a slower speed. Try .5 which is half as fast and watch the fiddler real closely over and over to figure out where he is going from note to note. ( I prefer Kenny Baker’s version which I believe is also on YouTube here somewhere.)

I did not know you caould slow it down….I did and much easier to follow….THANKS

[Frederick]

Alright! Way to go. 🙂 I use this little helpful trick a lot when I’m trying to figure something out that isn’t immediately obvious. Glad I could help you. Happy fiddling!

Very nice fiddling on yours, Fred!

[Frederick]

Thanks a lot, Peggy. I enjoy fiddling Southern Flavor. I recorded this some time maybe a year ago or so on Audacity and I used a backing track from somewhere…just can’t remember where.

If I wasn’t so lazy, I would actually record it now on Presonus Studio One and use a real guitar, banjo and a fiddle and maybe even throw in an acoustic bass from the VST library. It would be good practice for me but I’m too darned busy composing another cinematic classical piece. 🙂

Thanks, again. I appreciate it.

So much music to be played, and so little time to do it all…lol.
