"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Wayne Erbsen has been fiddling around since 1970, when he bought a $25 fiddle for ten bucks. He has played and recorded with the Black Mountain Bluegrass Boys from West Virginia and Smoketown Strut from Belgium. Wayne has won 1st place fiddle at several fiddlers conventions: Chilhowee, Virginia; Grayson County, Virginia; Mount Airy, North Carolina; and Fiddlers Grove, North Carolina. He has written twenty-five books and has recorded eighteen solo CDs. Wayne takes great pride in having taught thousands of people to play the fiddle, banjo, and mandolin. He lives with his wife, Barbara, in Asheville, North Carolina. Wayne Erbsen. It was 1973 and Wayne Erbsen had just moved from his home in California to Charlotte, North Carolina. His aim was to dig deep into the roots of Southern Appalachian music by learning from the masters. He chose Charlotte because the area had once been a hotbed of traditional Southern music. To his shock, Wayne discovered that little of the old music was left. Instead, North Carolina seemed intent on covering up its own Appalachian roots with concrete and embracing the new music of New York as well as Los Angeles and Hollywood, two places Wayne had just escaped from! Realizing that the true Southern Appalachian music was on the verge of becoming extinct, Wayne was determined to ensure that this music was preserved and passed on to future generations. First, he met and learned from many of the masters of Southern Appalachian music, including Charlie Monroe, Tommy Jarrell, Kyle Creed, Albert Hash, Jim Shumate, Wiley and Zeke Morris, and Jimmy Buchanan. Wayne then began presenting programs of North Carolina traditional music to students of all grade levels. He also continued to teach banjo and guitar, which he had been doing since the early 1960s in his native California. At that very time in 1973, the movie Deliverance came out. Although it promoted a stereotype of the Southern mountaineer, it also fired people up about the banjo. Wayne’s banjo classes at Central Piedmont Community College were suddenly filled and overflowing with people wanting to find their own roots and learn to play the banjo. To better serve his many banjo students, Wayne typed up his lessons on an old-timey manual typewriter and offhandedly titled his book, A Manual on How to Play the 5-String Banjo For the Compete Ignoramus! Because he knew all his students personally, Wayne wrote the book in an extremely relaxed, informal style that would later become his trademark. With this book, Wayne founded Native Ground Books & Music. You can read more about Native Ground here. Wayne has written dozens of music instruction books and songbooks for all levels, including the bestselling Bluegrass Banjo for the Complete Ignoramus . He teaches old-time music at the University of North Carolina-Asheville and at the Log Cabin Music & Cooking Center in Asheville. As a musician, Wayne is a master of old-time, bluegrass, folk, Appalachian, cowboy, pioneer, railroad, and gospel music and music of the Civil War. He plays clawhammer and bluegrass banjo, fiddle, mandolin and guitar. Wayne has performed at across America and in western Europe. He has recorded many solo CDs and written dozens of music instruction books and songbooks. Wayne has won numerous prizes at fiddler’s conventions, including 1st place in clawhammer banjo (Galax, Virginia, 1973) and 1st place in senior old-time fiddler (Fiddler’s Grove, North Carolina, 2004).

This is a compilation of various places you might want to investigate on your fiddle journey. The list is intended to grow over time, so if you know of others, then please let us know at Oldtime Central so we can add them. 1 Sammy Lind Teaches Old Time Fiddle Tunes, DVDs. Sammy Lind, of Foghorn Stringband fame, is a great fiddler with some great tune lessons. In this case they’re 6 beginner tunes and 10 advanced tunes on two DVDs. For each tune he plays it solo up to speed, then breaks down the melody and bowing slowly for each part, and then plays it up to speed again with Nadine Landry on guitar. Especially the beginner DVD is a great place for new fiddlers to start because the versions are quite manageable and Sammy does a good job of breaking them down. Cost: $27 each. 2 Fiddle for All. Online video course for oldtime fiddle by the wonderful Adam Hurt using Josh Turnkett’s Brainjo teaching method. The course is suitable for all from rank beginners to intermediate players, leading students carefully, step-by-step through everything they need to know to play solid oldtime fiddle. Special emphasis on the nuances of bowing. Monthly subscription. 3 David Bragger’s YouTube Channel. For many years David Bragger posted great, detailed lessons of classic oldtime fiddle tunes. Currently there are about 40 tunes you can learn from his YouTube channel. Excellent instruction for free ! 4 Brad Leftwich Learn to Play Old-Time Fiddle, DVDs. Brad Leftwich is a great oldtime fiddler who recorded two DVDs with Homespun in the late 1990s. The first video is great for beginners. Leftwich teaches a set of basic bow patterns that get repeated use throughout the tunes taught. Every tune is also played up to speed with banjo uke accompaniment by Linda Higginbotham, so you can hear what the tune sounds like with chords. The second DVD follows very directly in the footstep of the first in terms of structure, clarity of teaching, and pedagogical thoroughness while covering more advanced bowing licks and tunes.

  • Listening, Learning, and Connoisseurship in Old-Time Music
    CATCHING THE “WILD NOTE”: LISTENING, LEARNING, AND CONNOISSEURSHIP IN OLD-TIME MUSIC Joseph Edward Decosimo A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of American Studies. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Glenn Hinson Louise Meintjes Andrea Bohlman Bernard Herman Elizabeth Engelhardt © 2018 Joseph Edward Decosimo ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joseph Edward Decosimo: Catching the “Wild Note”: Listening, Learning, and Connoisseurship in Old-time Music (Under the direction of Glenn Hinson) As we approach the century mark for audio recording projects that began documenting traditional music forms in the southern U.S., it is worth interrogating the profound ways that old commercial and field recordings shape contemporary performance practices and understandings of these genres, especially as copies of older recordings circulate widely and unexpectedly and accumulate new meanings. This project examines the ways that sound recordings and technologies mediate contemporary performance practices, aesthetics, and social relationships in the context of Old-time music, especially among Old-time practitioners in East Tennessee, a site long associated with the genre. An ethnography of listening, learning, and performance practices among expert Old-time musicians, this dissertation brings conversations about the splitting and circulation of sounds from their sources to bear on long-standing concerns about modes of transmission of traditional and local knowledge. Thinking about the transmission of traditional music as a process thoroughly imbricated with sound technologies yields new questions, stories, and understandings about Old-time music making and the study of expressive culture.
