Learning to fiddle the Orange Blossom Special is not easy Torey Krug Jersey , but it's truly worth the effort. The Orange Blossom Special is unequaled in popularity. To learn it you must master three distinct parts. Each of these parts has its own character and style. They are: 1. Bells, whistles, chugga-chugga's, 2. the Shuffle David Krejci Jersey , 3. the Hoedown.

Bells, Whistles, Chugga-chugga's

This is the introductory part of the tune. It starts up right after the rhythm is put down, by guitar Danton Heinen Jersey , and other instruments usually.

The first whistle to master is made by the G# on the D string and the B on the A double stop takes two of the chord notes from the E major chord and moves them down and up with a fall off at the end.

That's followed by the left hand plucking the E string for the can be recycled several times.

In between the bell and the whistle, play some chugga-chugga' that you must move the bow up and down the string instead of across the string. Do this very rapidly in time. I change my grip on the bow a little to make this the movement very short, just a couple or more inches at the most. The sound should be 90% percussive, not tonal. In other words a definite pitch is not what we're after. Placement of the left hand fingers can be the same as the whistle.

It is in this part of the tune that many fiddlers do musical quotes and "stretch out." I used to do that Jaroslav Halak Jersey , too. Then, I heard the classic Irwin Rouse version. The directness of his performance is powerful by comparison of the "loaded up" versions you hear today. My recommendation: except for a few bluesy, syncopated moves, lose the junk.

The Shuffle

The most famous shuffle for this tune is the double shuffle or hokum bow. We'll get to that.

In the original version by Irwin Rouse Zdeno Chara Jersey , he played two other shuffles. And remember, we're talking about the version that made the tune famous.

One of the shuffles is a rocking bow. You play two strokes on the lower strings and two on the next pair up, back and forth. This was in last month's tabs.

This is a good technique to master for other tunes as well. Often I use this move for Arkansas Traveler. (I stole this from Dale Potter.)

In this shuffle you will need to think in terms of three strings at once. Not that you play three at once, but your fingering is organized as though you were.

Mastering the fingering for this shuffle puts you in very good position to master the double shuffle.

There are two difficult areas for the hokum bow or double shuffle. One is the left hand--having to be concerned with three strings at a time. Another is the coordination of the string crossings with the bow.
