The Swaggering jig - (a slip jig fiddle lesson)

This is a great tune to learn as your first Irish slip jig on the fiddle. For the full tutorial, sign up for my upcoming Complete Irish Fiddler course, at learntoplaythefiddle.co.uk/courses It's a well-known slip jig, though many confuse it with another common slip jig, The Little Fair Canavans, or Na Ceannabháin Bhána. It is quite a simple melody on the fiddle, with fairly basic fingering, working around a G major scale. But the key to it is getting the slip jig pulse, working on the 9/8 rhythm, and finding the points of emphasis.
