'Theory According to Cal' is a 1 hour lesson. If you are a beginner or a fiddler that has been playing for a while, this lesson is for you. This lesson will help you develop your ear so you can recognize common sounds and licks in most every tune. Learn this simple approach and you're well on your way to learning more and more tunes, quicker. Calvin plays by ear and this has nothing to do with reading notes. You will also learn a couple of tunes as well.
Learn-A-Tune (LAT) Video Lessons
In this store you can purchase videos of tunes that Calvin will teach you. They are mostly originals but you'll find some traditional tunes as well. He plays the tunes at a slower speed and you can see where his fingers are being placed on the finger board. A great way to learn and very inexpensive for you. There's nothing fancy about them. Video taping was done in his office as if you were sitting in his office getting a private lesson, watching his fingers. Ah, you gotta love modern day technology!!
