NEW COURSE - Ånon Egelaand - Agder Fiddle

Oh me, oh my! It is such an honour to present the fiddler, scholar, teacher, and legend: Ånon Egeland. In this course, he teaches some of ""his"" greatest hits, given to him over coffee and sandwiches in kitchens all around Agder county in southern Norway. Ånon's old teachers, Salve Austenå, Sigurd Fjellstad, Andris Rysstad, Georg Brobakken, and many more, gave him this musical torch to carry on to you!

Get down into the micro-tonality of these wonderful modes of playing ""blue"" thirds and sevenths. Ånon makes a point of playing on a regular fiddle, even if some of the tunes are learned on the Hardanger fiddle. As his teachers said: ""Yes. so what? It's a fiddle"". We tune down one tone on some tunes, precisely as some of these old guys did. Learn the bowing and stomping, what to focus on and how to play this great style of fiddle music. As Ånon says: "For my sake, we can drop the 'Folk', and for that matter, the 'Traditional' part of the term, and say: It's just music".
