Tune of Choice: I Don’t Love Nobody (key of C)

I teach I Don’t Love Nobody in the key of A in Session 1 and Session 2 of Fiddle School. Now it’s time to learn it in the key of C. I really think of I Don’t Love Nobody in C as a different tune — with remanence of the key of A melody. In the key of C, we can get more bluesy, chromatic, there’s a second part in the key of A minor, and we’ll shift into 2nd and 3rd position. With all kinds of fun tricks, this tune is so much fun!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT 3-MONTH PASSES & DEADLINES:  3-Month Passes are available to purchase for a limited time prior to the start of each three-month series. 3-Month Passes are series-specific, meaning they cannot be transferred to another series, and cannot be paused. To make sure you are registered for the series of your choice, please purchase your 3-Month Pass by 11:59 PM MT the night before the first class of the series.

Texas-style fiddle tunes are my heart and soul. With a rich history, driving rhythm, and beautiful longbow technique, they make the fiddle sound perfectly beautiful. The Texas Style Tunes webinar has become one of my absolute favorite classes to teach. Each month we rotate between learning a breakdown, a waltz, or a tune of choice. These are all tunes suitable for fiddle contests.

Learn the tune step-by-step, by ear, over the course of two class times. The sheet music and a guitar back-up track are included – but I highly recommend learning the song by ear along with me. After two consecutive classes, you’ll get a week off to solidify, smooth out, and memorize the fiddle tune; In the third class, you’ll perform your rendition, and I’ll offer individual feedback on how to sound your best and how to personalize the tune.

Texas Tunes Series

1st, 2nd, and 4th WEDNESDAYS from 5 – 6:15 PM MT

With a 3-Month Pass for our first series in 2024, you’ll gain an entire advanced contest round!

NEW in 2024!!! Three-month pass holders who are also members of Fiddle School receive access to a private Texas Tunes community group in Circle.

Tom & Jerry
Key: A
Dates: January 3, 10, 24

One of the oldest breakdowns in the Texas fiddle repertoire, Tom & Jerry is one of the Top 10 most popular breakdowns. You must know this tune. It’s in the key of A and in the family of A tunes like Brilliancy, Dusty Miller, and Sally Goodin’. This is the first of these type of tunes that I teach. An AA BB tune, we’ll learn a 10-part version. Drawing upon parts from Georgia Slim, Terry Morris, Major Franklin, and Tommy Jackson — you’ll get to learn a one-of-a-kind version of Tom & Jerry.

Our Waltz
Key: D
Dates: February 7, 14, 28

This masterpiece of a waltz was written by Randy Howard (who also wrote Golden Fiddle Waltz). In the key of D, the double stops and chord progression are truly beautiful. Randy recorded this track on his album, Survival of the Fiddlest. I guess I’m on Randy Howard waltz kick. I’ll teach a single note and double stop version and you can enjoy making it your own.

I Don’t Love Nobody (in C)
Key: C
Dates: March 6, 13, 27

in Session 1 and Session 2 of Fiddle School, I teach I Don’t Love Nobody in the key of A. Now it’s time to learn it in the key of C. I really think of I Don’t Love Nobody in C as a different tune — with remnants of the key of A melody. In the key of C, we can get more bluesy and chromatic. here’s a second part in the key of A minor, and we’ll shift into 2nd and 3rd position. With all kinds of fun tricks, this tune is so much fun!
