Learn an Irish Trad Fiddle Tune - Off To California

Learn to play the well-known Irish hornpipe "Off To California"–a complete lesson from the archives of iFiddle online magazine (www.ifiddlemag.com). I'll take you from first note to last so you can learn this Irish Trad fiddle tune by ear. Using two cameras, including one that looks over my shoulder for a "fiddler's eye view," you'll be able to watch my fingers as I play the tune. (This video lesson first appeared in the Summer 2015 issue of iFiddle.)

Between 2014-2019 I was a regular contributor for the online-only Ifiddle Magazine, creating a total of 24 Irish Trad tune lesson videos. Up until now only people who purchased the online magazines could watch my lesson videos, but now the publisher has given me permission to share those videos for the general public to enjoy.
