Shove That Pig's Foot a Little Farther in the Fire is a really happy upbeat G tune in standard tuning. I primarily drew from Bruce Molsky when I learned this tune, so pay really close attention to the bowings and the pulses in the middle of slurs, which add rhythmic drive. Check out the video of Bruce Molsky below to get a sense of what you'll be learning.

I really liked learning this tune because it gave me a chance to really take a close look at Bruce Molsky's bowing. Right when I think I've figured out old timey bowing, I analyze a tune like this and realize I still have tons to learn. Bruce Molsky is one of my favorite fiddlers because his bowing, while fluid and natural, seems to be carefully designed to convey the perfect groove and phrasing. I love it!
