The Musical Priest is a popular three part Irish reel. In this fiddle lesson I demonstrate two versions of the tune. First the basic melody, then a version with ornaments, including bowed triplets (trebles), rolls and cuts. I also suggest a minor variation based on the version recorded by fiddle James Morrison. I use on-screen sheet music throughout, and a free pdf of The Musical Priest is available to subscribers (see below). There are plenty more fiddle lessons on Irish jigs, reels and hornpipes elsewhere on The Fiddle Channel, as well as videos on ornaments such as the cut, the roll and the treble.
