After taking up the fiddle as a mid-life crisis (especially for everyone in my family that had to listen to me!) I
discovered Irish music. It was a whole new world for me. Tons of great tunes that I had never heard before. Over
the years these tunes have been slowly leaking into the Bluegrass genre. Here is The Rights of Man arranged
melodic style and an octave higher using a single string technique. The single string is more reminiscent of the
Irish tenor banjo style. Sometimes it is dif.cult to get the actual melody in melodic style but single string playing
you are not restricted as much by open strings and positions. Have fun with these two breaks. It takes a little
practice to get the triplets in the .rst measure but it's worth it.
