Introduction:

St. Anne's Reel is very popular here in the US and in Canada. The version you'll learn in this tune lesson is basic, and suitable for a beginner; but it is true to the tune and will sound just fine in a jam or played with accompaniment.

Before you get started learning this tune, don't forget to

Look over all the free lessons, especially "How To Read Tablature At fiddlehub.com," and "How To Learn A Tune At fiddlehub.com." These two "how to" lessons have info that you will need in order to tackle any of the tune lessons, and it isn't repeated anywhere else.
Listen to the tune all the way through a few times, even if you're familiar with it, to get a clear idea of how this arrangement sounds. Go to the Play Along Tracks page and use the player with both fiddle and guitar.
Print out the sheet music so you'll always have the complete tune handy. It has both tablature and standard notation, as well as the chords for guitar/banjo/piano (or whatever).
One more thing: I've switched the method for indicating bow direction in the tablature. In the free tune lessons, I use arrows; but some people have told me they found the arrows difficult to see clearly. The system I use in this lesson is actually more common, and I hope you'll find it easier to read once you get used to it.
- The "V" means down bow.
- The other symbol (the one that looks sort of like this: "I¯I") means up bow.
