April 3, 2007

This site is very graphical and gives a good explanation of how to set up the fiddle, tune it etc. as well as providing some good beginner/intermediate lessons on specific tunes. It mostly focuses on bluegrass/traditional tunes such as red haired boy, whiskey before breakfast etc.

Similarly, it has good lessons for mandola, mandolin, violin, guitar and banjo.
