Howdy Mark!
I have to say, I’ve always been the type to memorize tunes in sections, usually two bars at a time. I actually talk a lot about this technique in my tune videos that will be here on this site within the next few months, yay! But I also hope you realize, we contest fiddlers don’t always know as many tunes as you might think. I know it seems intimidating but we usually work really hard on a few rounds and then have another group of tunes for which we know the basic melodies and and the chord progressions and we just play around with those, starting simple and adding things as we get more comfortable. I think that you might expect that we have memorized all of the things we ever play, but it’s really more that we memorize the simple stuff and go from there. So proud of you for staying motivated and I hope you enjoy all the stuff I have coming up here.
Cheers, Megan
