@iFIDDLE -

I LOVE COOLEY'S REEL!

Really nice performance!

I might play it maybe just a hair faster than your 1st version, but really close. I can play it faster, but then I just don't like it. Any faster I just don't hear all the notes - it's just too pretty to not hear all of it (JMO).

...so much for playing up to speed. (who needs it)

Love your backing track!

Thank you all! appreciate it.

@stringy yes ive pretty much concentrated on it exclusively for the last week. I have a list of a few of the more common tunes ive never really concentrated on that im trying to get somewhat presentable. star of munster, silver spear, earls chair coming up.

@elcbk ill make a link for the backing and send it. Not alot to it though. Yeah, I was almost at the fall apart speed on the "fast" video. you can really hear it 3rd time through.

Great Reel. I kind of miss the parties where a member would write for example, "Cooley's Reel Party" and forum members would post their performance of that. Eligible for an automatic party badge as well.
Anyone want to start such a party???
