Q: Do you give private lessons or perform concerts?
A: Yes. If you live in the St Louis, MO area or are going to be passing through, you can
contact me to set up an appointment. Private lessons are $25 for one hour.
I am also performing more with the Marty Warburton Band.
Our schedule will be posted on the What's New page.
I also provide FREE Workshops at various bluegrass festivals around the
country and world. As I book these events, I will post the details on the
What's New page. If you have an event in your
area and would be interested in having me teach or perform there, you can
contact me.
Q: Are the arrangements for the Fiddle the same as the Mandolin?
A: Yes, and No. It really depends on the complexity of the song. If the song
is very basic, yes, they are similar. However, when an arrangement is more
professional, especially when including the backup parts, these two instruments
are entirely different. The approach of the Fiddle will not be the same due to
the fact that a bow is used and full chords, unlike the mandolin are difficult
to play.
A good song example is 'Mama Don't 'Low'. Listen how the Fiddle and Mandolin
take different approaches to the solo:
Mama Don't 'Low' mp3
Although the solos and back up are not the same, the instruments all flow
together as a group. This is the thrust of my arrangements; to get all of the
instruments coordinated so that you and your family and friends can work on your
separate parts then put it altogether as a unit. The play along recordings that
come with the books will give you a good feel for the song and you can use the
various mixes as backing tracks to help your group keep in time and fill in the
gaps. Each book in the series that I write is like a small piece of a larger
puzzle.
