Guitar chord forum - chordie → Other string instruments → Any fiddlers in the house?
Just wanted to start a little brainstorming/music-sharing thread for the fiddle inclined.
I like gypsy jazz, blues and bluegrass. Musical influences would be grappelli, robert johnson, bill monroe, the dead, string cheese incident as well as sublime and bob marley.
Feel free to post your influences, ideas, questions and rants

When I was ten years old I loved El-Kabong! He smashed his guitar all the time.
You have great taste in music-we share very similar style. I play fiddle, mandolin, guitar. I have a clarinet under the bed too. Grapelli of course is the goal in terms of tone, flavor, and technical ability. Vassar Clements was another great. I am playing Minor Swing, Sweet Georgia Brown, Swing 42. Lonesome Fiddle Blues from Vassar. Resources for me are The "Fiddler's Fake Book", Tone Poems (Grisman), and Jack Tuttle's Fiddle solos, Craig Duncan's fiddling method, among others. Of course I play Bill Monroe material on mandolin.
Do you know a source for Stephane Grappelli sheet music?
