🤔... it's nice to know I'm not crazy for hearing these tones. (lol)

Emelie Waldken talks about "Blue" notes used in Scandinavian Folk music -  microtones!  ...great, now I want blueberries. 😋 

Love her attitude towards these notes!

 

Why not try a 'Blue' tune?  

 

"Trippar etter Lars Mjåland frå Åseral", a Polka from Norway - tutorial from Emelie, with microtones! 

 

"Salomon Högens Godnattlåt" - a Swedish Polska tutorial - with microtones!

like Trippar etter Lars Mjåland frå Åseral"  sounds old timey.

also how she usually points to where a tune approx. originates from is always neat.

 

edit..

@elcbk. Salomon Högens Godnattlåt is great.  really like the dark sound of it and how her fiddle sounds playing it.  kind of mournful in a way.  the feel of the rhythm seems like it would be tricky though.

@ABitRusty -

I like Salomon Högens Godnattlåt, too. 

Afraid I have to pass on Trippar etter Lars Mjåland frå Åseral - fine as an example, but what those high double stops do to my ears... 😖
