Fingerstyle guitar and fiddle thing I did this evening. Kinda improvised on the fiddle some to keep it from being same each time through. Not sure how it worked but glad I messed with it some. Gave me a chance to pick back up on some stuff I had learned previously on guitar. Recorded that then fiddled.

Great job.

Good stuff as usual, the guitar and fiddle both sounded good individually and in tandom.
Thanks for posting

@ABitRusty Great playing on this! Nice phrase shaping--I think the fingerstyle guitar lends itself to that well. I’ve always liked the County Down—and I’m partial to the 3/4 versions, too.

thanks @SharonC. yeah wasnt sure about doing both together but always thought about trying it. That guitar arrangement isnt one I did.. I learned it from a book and its more of a solo type deal so tried to be sparse with the fiddle. Fiddled more by feel as i played along. maybe a bit busy with it at the end..
Im like you I really like the 3/4 version.. the other seems more like a pub type song to me. Its not bad just a different feel.

thank you @elcbk.
One thing.. not sure you meant this but the guitar is not my arrangement. I was playing a version from a book.

Sounded so good you can't burst my bubble!
Didn't you have to figure out when & how the fiddle would enter? Still counts, doesn't it? 😊
