Hello, I´m a Spanish guy learning to play the fiddle. Unfortunately, I don´t have easy access to real sessions live here. I have recently discovered the excellent "BBC session" site where you can play along at a session reading the sheet music at the same time. Of course, it is not the same as the real thing and the quality of the sound is a bit poor but it certainly helps to start getting the hang of the rythms. I wonder if anyone knows of similar web pages that can be helpful for beginners. Thank you all.
Good free fiddle tutorials on the Web?

By the way, the BBC site I mentioned above is called 'virtual session' and you can find it at:

Don't forget Jim Dorans who used to post on here:

I hadn't looked at his site for a while. He's put a lot of work into it and it looks great now.
