Forty-eight songs from the book are on the audio download.The online video is designed to complement the first 17 lessons of the You Can Teach Yourself Fiddling text. Covers tuning, holding the fiddle and bow, left-hand position, basic A, D, and G scales, shuffle bowing, slurs, double stops, and many tunes, including Liza Jane, Shortening Bread, Going to Boston, and Bile Them Cabbage Down.
