Texas Fiddling with Tristan Clarridge, Part 1
Texas Fiddling with Tristan Clarridge, Part 1
 
Tristan Clarridge has won the Weiser, Idaho, Grand National Fiddle Championship Contest five times, and is regarded as one of the best Texas-style fiddlers of all time. He is also a pioneering and virtuosic cellist and has toured the world with Crooked Still, Darol Anger’s Republic of Strings, and many others, including his own inventive acoustic group the Bee Eaters. In this lesson with Brittany, Tristan focuses on his Texas fiddling, and they start by playing the fiddle tune “George Booker” together. Tristan also talks about the characteristics of Texas fiddling, defining it as a style of “controlled improvisation” with worked-out variations that can be thought of as separate parts. For example, a traditional fiddle tune that usually has two parts, may have as many as eight or more defined sections in Texas fiddling. beeeaters.com
