What you get

  • The basic bowing pattern for jigs, built up one exercise at a time
  • How to slur three notes across the strings, the part most players find tricky
  • The same pattern in a waltz
  • Cuts, rolls and bow triplets, and where they sit in the phrase
  • Two jigs taught phrase by phrase, Anthony Frawley's Jig and Ard an Bhóthair (Top of the Road): you listen, then you copy
