Irish Washerwoman - Intermediate Fiddle Lesson
Learn to play Irish Washerwoman: www.mytalentforge.com/lessons/irish-washerwoman-2
Irish Washerwoman according to Traditional Tune Archive
Although the tune has popularly been known as an old, and perhaps quintessential Irish jig, it has been proposed by some writers to have been an English country dance tune that was published in the 17th century and probably known in the late 16th century. Samuel Bayard (1981), for example, concludes it probably was English in origin rather than Irish, being derived from the air called "Dargason," or "Sedany" as it is sometimes called. Fuld (1966) disagrees, believing "Dargason" (which he gives under the title "Scotch Bagpipe Melody") and "The Irish Washerwoman" developed independently. "Dargason" was first printed in Ravenscroft's Pammelia (1609) and appears in the Playford's Dancing Master editions from 1651 to 1690, but subsequently the "folk process" melded the strain to other parts, thus making other tunes (see "Green Garters (3)" for example) including the precursors to the Washerwoman tune. One of these precursors was the English tune "Country Courtship (The)," which dates from at least 1715 and probably to 1688, in which latter mentioned year it was first entered at Stationers' Hall. "The Irish Washerwoman" appears to have developed from "Country Courtship (The)," which was extremely popular in the 19th century, as the tune under the "Washerwoman" title was to become a little later. The ending of the jig is the same as the endings of "In Bartholemew Fair" and "Free Masons (1)." Breathnach (1976) finds the second part identical to that of "Star at Liwis or Scheme (The)" printed by London publisher J. Walsh in Caledonian Country Dances (c. 1730, p. 59). The melody was found by the author of English Folk-Song and Dance (p. 144) in the repertoire of fiddler William Tilbury (who lived at Pitch Place, midway between Churt and Thursley in Surrey), who used, in his younger days, to play at village dances. Tilbury learned his repertoire from an uncle, Fiddler Hammond, who died around 1870 and who was the village fiddler before him. The conclusion was that "Haste to the Wedding" and melodies of similar type survived in English tradition (at least in southwest Surrey) well into the second half of the 19th century. Multi-instrumentalist John Rook (Waverton, Cumbria), for example, entered it into his large 1840 music manuscript collection. The jig is played very fast as an accompaniment for Northumbrian rapper sword dancing.

What key do you play it in?

@@WizardofAdsOnline Thank You!
@@amightyfriendlymountain You're welcome!
That would seem to be a transcribed version of an improvised version.
Hi Phil! What I'm playing here is generally improvised, but there are a lot of phrases, or variations that I have more or less standardized, and play similarly when I play that variation. The sheet music transcription that's included with the full version of this lesson is based off of how I played it this one time. :)
Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks, Bernard!
🤖-¿Tu eres un Demonia de Infierno? 😅😰
Very cool!
Thanks, Deb! :)
I would consider that much more of a demonstration, and not much of a lesson
With the advanced lessons, they are more of a slowed down demonstration. I expect that advanced players will be able to learn from a slowed down demonstration. For our beginner, and intermediate lessons, there is much more breaking down a tune to the sections and details of it. Those beginner and intermediate tunes usually also have sheet music or tablature to make them easier to learn.
Looking to practice this and personally love that solemn background tone, surprised that no one else has left a comment, love it. Just wished I had the voice to do it justice.
Thank you for that, one of my favorites.
You're welcome!
Thank ya.
You're welcome!

Hi Sam, My grandmother Estelle Massey (Johnson) brother.
Gonna have to get on this Blk Mtn Rag. Love it ….🔥🎻👨🏫
My favorite fiddle teacher… Thank you for all those great lessons and tips. People actually ask me to play now… God Bless you Vi Wickham and your beautiful wife.
Thanks Susan! It's our pleasure to create these lessons. I'm so happy that our lessons have been helpful to you! Fiddle on! Vi
It is a good tune, but when I went to see the written notes, I found I would have to pay, $30. per month. There are other online teachers, that give free lessons.
Hi Arthur, If you want the full lesson of this tune, including sheet music, you have 2 options. The first one you have identified. For $30 a month, you can access over 700 lessons on the MyTalentForge.com website. Or, if you just want to have the lesson and sheet music for one tune, you can get those for $10 a piece. When you buy a single lesson, your access is not tied to a 30 day time limit. You get it for as long as our site is in existence. My Talent Forge has been around for more than 10 years at this point. And, you are right, we have some lessons that are free, as well. And, it's hard to make living by only giving away music lessons for free. ;)
@@Mytalentforgecom Thanks, I'll keep this email, for future reference. I use to pay a lot more for lessons, but now have been playing for 27 years, so don't want to pay for regular lessons, at least. I'm going to try and find the sheet music for that tune you played, which is really great.
@@arthurzengeler6909 You can probably find sheet music to Salt Creek for the basic melody for free. And, if you want my arrangement of it, you know where to find it. ;) Best wishes!

Always loved this waltz. Thank you!
nice
Thanks, Vi! Another great lesson.
Nice! Thank you.
Thanks, Vi! Great lesson - as always.
Thank you for sharing and the reminder (your description). I learned to play piano my mother's parents Wurlitzer upright in the family from the '30s. I love so much American Folk music (and appreciate the Smothers Brothers). It's wonderful you're teaching fiddle playing - one instrument so many applications, different sounds.
You're welcome, Elizabeth! :)
Sure was nice of this man’s captors to allow him to play his guitar while he was being held hostage.
Even you played B flat 0:16. Is that B flat or natural? B natural just doesn't sound like it makes sense.
The tune is in the key of D minor, which means that most of the B's are going to be Bbs. However, there are times where there's a pedal down from a C (CBC) where I will use a B natural accidental. The accidental adds tension. You can play a Bb there instead and it will work OK, but it will be a little more pedestrian sounding.
I want to learn this for my grandpa so this is so helpful
I'm glad you are getting to learn it! :D
You teach? Email please?

This is great. Made me feel alot less overwhelmed
Awesome!
these types of lessons are hilarious. "sooo..... (plays double stops at light speed)"
May do this! My KUN shoulder rest doesn't extend enough for me - my neck must be long too. I recently ordered a WOLF Forte Secondo rest which is super adjustable - width, angle, height, contour even (you can bend it) BUT it comes with no instructions and it won't stay in place... the 'feet' shape not great... so falls off before I can even get it onto my shoulder. I'm trying to find contact details for the company. In the meantime, I need to practice - so make-up sponges to the rescue?
Yes, sponges can help! I use a KUN for my viola. ALSO, please know that it's possible to purchase extra long feet for the KUN. I typically use the normal size for the foot that's closest to the neck and a long for the one that's further away. I use a Wolf Forte Secondo for my violin, but substitute KUN feet. The Wolf shoulder rests allow you to spin the inner screw out, which gives some additional height possibility. It sounds like you need to adjust the metal bar to make the overall width narrower. Here's a link to purchase long KUN feet: www.thesoundpost.com/en/store/accessories/violin/shoulder-rests/kun/kun-accessories/kun-foot-extra-long-4-4-3cm?curr=USD&gclid=CjwKCAjwloCSBhAeEiwA3hVo_XAlG0dq9x8-hTtUR1RK-Xehd94ESNonyY47gjqQQQC2aS5R8WBo_BoCH28QAvD_BwE All the best!
@@docwallacemusic Ah thanks for this David. I was actually happy with my KUN rest apart from the height. Got in touch with the supplier (couldn't trace the manufacturer) and my Wolf is now 'operable' but it's still not quite right. Took forever with the differing adjustments and yes, I learnt that its the feet furthest away from the neck that need to be longer. The ones at the neck would be fine with KUN feet. So looking into longer feet would/could solve the problem. Wot a palava... but it has to be comfortable - there's enough aches from twisting my wrist atm.
You can actually tune a Tenor Guitar like a Mandolin/Violin (aka Fiddle) w/ John Pearse 450 Tenor Guitar Strings (13, 20w, 30w, 42w) & it allows you to get a much deeper & mellower sound that's great for Jazz.

Can you show your fingerings on the fiddle more? They were cut off on the bottom of the screen.
This is amazing love it. Just hated the music didn't last as long as the talking
what hospital do you work at "doctor" wallace? Is that kind of like "dr evil"? Or "dr jill biden?" Or Dr Who?
Great lesson! Very clear. Thanks
You're welcome, Andy! :)
Thank you.

You're welcome!
this is not good for your finger joints
I just discovered this. I'm am so going to do it!!!!
Excellent! After 2 weeks of doing this exercise daily, I want to know how it has impacted your boing! :)
GREAT tips!
Thanks, Doc!
Great lesson with some slight variations I will use from how I have been playing it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Looking forward to adding this to my practice regimen! I’m driving my poor fiddle teacher nuts with the ‘shoulder thing’ and he’s getting on my nerves by constantly pointing it out. 😉🎵
Hi David, Take your time with it. Start by immobilizing your upper arm so that all of your movement has to come from your forearm and lower. Once you can play like this for a little while then you can immobilize your forearm so that all of the motion has to come from your hand. :) When you have mastered that, then you are a jedi. ;)
fuck yeah boy
I loved this practicing method, thanks so much.
Ya welcome
Little wonder why this has 58 thumbs down.
I don’t even own a fiddle but this was a great lesson!
