Bluegrass fiddle music is a genre that originated in the Appalachian region of the United States. It is characterized by fast-paced, intricate melodies played on the fiddle, often accompanied by other stringed instruments such as the banjo, guitar, and mandolin.

Bluegrass fiddle players are known for their technical skill and improvisational abilities, and the genre has produced many virtuosic performers.
