Fiddle music

[Jason Sypher]

Yes, I play fiddle tunes on the bass: Irish, Oldtime, Romanian, Klezmer etc.
I also work up slap arrangements of tunes (kind of like clawhammer on the bass) Here are some links to some of my stuff I've put up on youtube etc.

Hey, nice playing Jason!
I play a few fiddle tunes too. I'll have to get organised and put something on Youtube.

Lefty? Hey, you were not Lefty last time I saw you and neither was your bass. Why is every video inside out here? Did I miss something?

Great playing by the way..

The lefty thing...it's just my mac camera, reverses everything and you need quicktime Pro to flip the image. Thanks for the listen.

My version of Sally Goodin'. Sort of fiddle music. This was a one off take - I probably should have warmed up more beforehand.

richard, that´s great, i like it!

[Richard Prowse]

Thanks, old buddy.

Great. That sent me back to Sally Gooden. I had worked it up a bit at some time but the definitive version (Eck Robertson's) has a three octave range and I had a hard time making it work in my head. I'll see if I can get it where I like it and post it sometime. It's nice to add some improv to it, I do that all the time but tend to stick to the tune when I record something. Nice ideas.

Here's that version: http://files.me.com/bassnote/aizmgf.mov

What amazes me is the drive and fluidity and stream of good ideas. When he finally lays on that minor it's a real release.
