St Anne's Reel (fiddle lesson)

Saint Anne's Reel is a Canadian tune also widely played in Ireland, and in bluegrass and old time. In this fiddle lesson I show two versions, starting with the famous one by Don Messer. I use on screen sheet music throughout, and a free pdf is available to subscribers. I also demonstrate the Irish version, and point out the main differences.
