Orange Blossom Fiddle Tab
Hi everybody, I know this section is for steel guitar tabs, but I know that there are a few fiddlers on here too. I was wondering if any of you had the tab to Orange Blossom Special. I'm pretty much a newbie at the violin, but I would like to learn this tune and work my speed up with it. Thanks

You do need to sight read - but don't get intimidated by it. It's a lot easier than it appears to be, and the more you do it the better you get at it. If you are playing fiddle learn standard notation. There are many good reasons for this - John McGann, Forum member, has a great discussion about this on his web page - do a search for his postings and you'll get his address.
For OBS, there are a lot of double stops, so just follow the top note for starters. Bon Chance, lache pas la patate!!

One great way that I've found to improve your ability to read standard notation is to get one of those software programs where you can write out something in standard notation and then play it back at various speeds. (The particular one that I have is called Cakewalk and runs for around $40 at Best Buy)
It will not only help you with sight reading but also get a better understanding of keys, sharps, flats, naturals, 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, etc.
I already knew how to read standard notation, but this program improved my sight reading quite a bit.
