    Thanks. I found it wandering around the web one day. A Scottish composer wrote to honor a group of Oregon fiddlers. Isn’t that cool?

    As an Oregonian your video made me proud! Thanks for sharing! I’d never heard this before.

    Hey folks! Making my way through module 1.2 right now and noticed there’s a missing technique video for week 3. Does anyone have an idea on what that might be?

    I was able to track down a 1.2 tune that’s not listed (Angeline the Baker), but not able to find this technique video.

      Hey Brian, There actually wasn’t a missing technique, just mistaken extra text. I just fixed this. Thanks!

      Beautiful Mary, you have a lovely relaxed feel for this tune. I like the rhythm and you play nice smooth triplets. Thanks for sharing your video.:)

      I’m going to try another device over the weekend. I have a Nikon DSLR with video capability (but I think the microphone on that is pretty bad too). I was a little concerned that it was my fiddle–but I really tried to listen for a buzz and I couldn’t hear anything. I’ll experiment with what I have available and see if I can get something to work…[Read more]

      I do hear a slight buzz coming from the video but if you don’t hear the buzz from the instrument then odds are it’s how the microphone on your iPhone is picking things up. Have you tried recording on other devices just to check?

      I’m currently using my iPhone to record. Do you think this buzz/trill is because of my phone? I do not hear any buzz from my instrument when I play.

      My fiddle is an Eastman VL100. Bow is pernambuco from Fiddlershop.

      This is my first time sharing a practice. I joined Fiddlehed last year, but only made it about halfway through the first module. Life happens sometimes. Anyway…I’m back at it and have committed to practicing for 100 days. Today marked Day 20, and I’ve completed the first module and have started the second.

      Today I reviewed the tunes learned in…[Read more]

      It’s easier to bow on the D and A strings for most beginners. Why are the G and E strings harder?

      The E is challenging because it’s temperamental. It tends to sound screechy. It requires a lighter t […]

        Wow, I have been practicing frozen in space, never moving. I didn’t realize it was ok to move a little bit to work with the strings. This has been very helpful (and my back thanks you!).
