This is my 1st attempt at filming myself for Fiddlehed. Inspired by others, I felt I should contribute too, and become more connected to this warm community of supportive fiddlers. My intonation needs more work especially sliding up to A, and I need to get some help with the camera focus, but it was fun to do once I mustered up the courage. I hope…[Read more]

Very nice recording and playing, Mary. I’m impressed with your intonation – mine falls apart so quickly when I try new tunes. Thanks for posting!

Glad you’re able to pick up the fiddle again! Sounds like you have a good plan. Double stops are doing my head in!

Nice job Keith – love those slides and double stops. Great rhythm too. I know what you mean about so many things to remember. When I try to focus on double stops, it seems like everything else falls apart. I wish I’d started playing when I was 7. Oh well, better late than never!

Well done, Mary! That was a great effort and I reckon you’ve improved so much from when you first posted. I get terrified by public performances and shake so much that I couldn’t do a solo like that.

Great version and awesome double stops going on there! I’m so struggling with double stops :! But they sound really good, well done!

Here is my latest try at Old Joe Clark. I see that I am not holding my left wrist straight. I’ll have to work on that some more, among so many other things!!

Thanks for posting, Mary, and Congratulations on your first public performance! Seems like a very challenging piece going into the upper hand position(s?) and switching to a backup track part way through. Well done!

Christmas carol played for our church worship service on Jan. 2, 2022. My first public offering of my fiddle music.

Great job Michael! Nice string changes, tone, and intonation!

Thanks Kate, yes, it took a while for the metronome to catch up with me, ha ha! Or was is vice versa? 🙂
Keith Calhoun replied to the topic Beginner attempt at Cluck Old Hen in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 6 months ago

Well thanks guys! Regarding double stops, I kind of discovered them accidentally when I was learning the simple notes to “Down to the River to Pray”. I’m trying to do as Jason says and not mash the bow into the strings too hard to obtain the effect.
