Traditional Irish fiddle Jig (full tutorial) -- The Hag with the Money / Cailleach an Airgid

In this full tutorial, I'll teach you a traditional Irish fiddle tune, the jig The Hag with the Money (or, Cailleach an Airgid).

This lovely traditional Irish jig is a well known Irish session tune, and a great one to learn. I'll teach you first how how to play the melody on the fiddle, breaking down the tune in short phrases so that you learn it. Then I'll show you some of the other important aspects of playing this on the fiddle. I'll show you how I might go about bowing this tune, show you some possibilities for traditional Irish fiddle ornamentation, and finally talk about how different players might play this tune in different modes (D major, D mixolydian) and how you can play around with the tuning of particular notes in this jig.
