Let's play "Irish Washer Woman" Violin Tutorial

St. Patrick's Day is approaching. I used to play in an Celtic band for a few years and have traveled to many Celtic Festivals and Folk festival in the U.S. It was great to see many people loving the Celtic music and gathering around, playing, singing and dancing. This season always brings me back the fun memory.

In the last blog post, I posted the Irish bow exercise as an intro to learn this Irish jig.

Here is the part 2 of 2 video for "Irish Washer Woman", covering the melody part. 

At the end, you can play with me with a loop backing track that I made.

Have fun!
