Lonesome Fiddle Blues was composed by the father of hillbilly jazz, Vassar Clements. Vassar was a member of Jim and Jesse & the Virginia Boys in the 50's, and went on to play with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and even the Grateful Dead. Lonesome Fiddle Blues is probably Vassar's most well known composition, and was even borrowed by Charlie Daniels in his most famous song, The Devil Went Down to Georgia.
Vassar probably had the most unique sound of any bluegrass fiddler, and his phrasing is difficult to replicate. I've taken great pains to transcribe his exact bowings so that you can take a crack at sounding like him. Enjoy! As usual, this Gold Member lesson comes with a streaming video, sheet music, TAB, and an audio file. Go fiddlers, go!
