My teacher has gone on tour. I had issues finding a teacher who could accomodate my work schedule, so I wait for her to come back to start lessons again. Generally she's gone for a month or two.
I've been looking for tunes like Cock o' the North - rhythmic, not lyrical. I found another jig, Connachtman's Rambles, and it's a bit harder but still much easier than the other tunes I was picking. I found Swallowtail Jig as well, that and Connachtman's Rambles seem to be tunes that appear on Youtube as the go-to tunes for someone demonstrating something on the fiddle. I also got music for Swallowtail Reel, not sure why. Though on Youtube or thesession.org I saw people commenting that they play this or that tune as a set of 3 tunes, so I figured it made sense to learn 3 tunes that sound good played one after the other. I don't think I got that far, but Swallowtail Reel was one that was mentioned in these discussions.
I'm moving ahead in my book of technical requirements, and I've learned the Bb scale.
