Ride the Wild Turkey, Part 1
Darol Anger’s wild and crazy fiddle tune “Ride the Wild Turkey” is a contemporary bluegrass instrumental classic. It’s been recorded by numerous people, including Jerry Douglas on his Slide Rule album, on which Scott played guitar. It’s a complex three-part tune (the form is ABCA) with a different number of measures in each part and some particularly unusual timing in the third part. You’ll learn the fiddle melody as well as Scott’s solo from Slide Rule in this lesson. Scott starts by showing you the A part, which starts the tune and gets played at the end of each solo, which usually start on the B part and have a BCA form. The A part ends with some tricky cascading arpeggios and Scott gives you advice on fingering this complex passage.
