Yes, thank you.
I searched youtube for "Tam Lin" and there are some ensemble/symphony performance that are truly amazing.
Thanks for the starter points.

Correction: "Here is an example of a Scottish reel set played with the first ditty in F (Tamlin/Glasgow Reel) followed by Jenny's Chickens in A". Technically, its an IRISH reel set. Not Scottish.
Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art. Charlie Parker

Is it supposed to be like a tremolo or some kind of 32nd triplets that are not really up to speed. It makes for an interesting effect in any case.Shared this with a performing Scottish fiddler here, and her first comment was "Wow, she got in a "barrel", referring to the those 32nd triplets. Its a fun and funky trick to learn. I LOVE it when Eileen Ivers styles perfect barrels in her more traditional works. (Yes, if Eileen plays it, I want to play it too, ha ha)
Could you give an example of a barrel and how its accomplished, it's really hard to get explanations of fiddling moves. Violin has all the written explanation fiddle is sorely lacking.

I think that a Scottish fiddler would better answer your question.
Mr. Jim might want to give a demonstration on the "Barrel".....

My main goal for the Violin is to play Celtic/Irish/ Folksy type music do you know know what to start looking at or practicing to grow and ear from that genre on music?
I started off with this. qid=1378253632&sr=8-6&keywords=scottish+folk+fiddle
The Scottish Folk Fiddle Tutor. It has a disk in it too. Some of my favorite songs are still in the early pages of this book. I play several of them together just because they are sweet tunes. But it is a good progression book too.
Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.
