Salt Creek fiddle tune for November

Ok let's start this month off right on learning this fiddle tune. Here is the challenge for our Workshop. Let's ALL try and be able to play the melody of this tune by the end of the month, not just the chord progression. Let's all take it to the next level, we can all do it, beginners through advanced.
1. First off, listen to the tune so many time you can hum it in your sleep.

2. Next learn to play and memorize the progression. Let's learn to get away from our books and manuscripts right now, after all it's only 4 chords, I, IV, V, VII you can do it!

3. Learn to play the melody. Play and memorize the first measure. Then get a metronome and set it at a slow speed, 50 bpm. Play that first measure at that speed. Play and learn the second measure, once you have it play the first and second measure together. Keep going measure by measure. If you start messing up a lot stop, you're done for now. Next practice session do this again until you have the A part down pat. Now start to increase the speed on the metronome and play along, only increase by 3 bpm at a time. When you get to 80 bpm start the same process for the B part. Once you have learned both A and B you can now proceed to play them with a metronome or backing tracks from this link which gradually increases in speed.

Ok, for now, learn how the tune goes by listening. Learn and memorize the progression. Use a metronome and backing tracks to increase speed of your progressions.
I will post the melodies for each instrument soon, but for now let's learn how the song sounds and it's progression and be involved this Wednesday. By the end of the month well all have this down!
