We’re excited to announce a new course called Western Swing Fiddle with Chad Manning! In this course, you’ll learn to play classic western swing melodies and solos from western swing fiddle greats like Johnny Gimble and Joe Holley, exploring the cowboy jazz made popular by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys and other classic acts. You’ll learn the melody and a solo for songs like “San Antonio Rose,” “Faded Love,” “Sugar Moon,” and others, along with tips on western swing fiddle technique, phrasing, and improvisation. Chad will be adding new lessons to the course each month.
