Hey it’s great you tried the Garageband too! It’s quite addictive when you get going isn’t it? I’ve been trying out all sorts of tunes using Jason’s guide on playing chords & counter melodies.
Really love this video!

Now playing from memory makes it easier to concentrate on getting the right finger positions, just need to get a bit more flow now!

Just catching up on the videos for this challenge: I’ve been practicing this jig called Coleraine, this was from day 1 of the challenge & I was still having to read the tabs/music as well as trying to get the tricky low 2nd & high 3rd notes!

Thanks very much for sharing, Tom. Nice song, is that a Fiddlehed song? Great video affects too. Very inspiring how you layered it. Thanks explaining how you did it.

Hi Kaz, Great to hear you’re playing everyday. I’m doing the practice challenge and aim to ‘fingerprint’ songs as Jason calls it, so I can play them from memory. I’m still learning how to play basic chords and should practice that more! I’ve also just discovered garage band and am having fun making some accompaniment tracks to play along with.…[Read more]

I’ve been inspired by many of you recording your own chord and harmony accompaniments and decided to have a go with Garage Band. Stayed up till 2am working out how to do it so it’s a bit rough. I tried to improvise a light accompaniment for the verse and chorus, and then do the Ketch Secour instrumental breaks. Gre…[Read more]

Well that seems very complicated but great job with it. Some really nice sounds in there to my ear and I feel your pain with the ‘slowing it down’ thing. I find that slurring notes when I’m playing a tune just automatically speeds everything up. That middle part though, sounded great and some really good ornaments. … Brava Leanna

Go blues … I’m trying the same thing but I have some weird depth perception nonsense I think, because when I look at a video of me playing, I’m not even close to where I think I’m bowing.

Thanks Patty – I will look it up, but I’m afraid sheet music to me is like pearls before swine at this point 🙂 …. Thanks for your kind comment too. Keeping on keeping on 😀

Holy cats this is amazing!!!

Patty replied to the topic Josephin's Waltz in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 9 months ago

Thanks, Mike… I appreciate your kind comments. I am working on my timing and accuracy with this one. I do read music; this is a tune on a cd by Alastair Fraser and Natalie Haan; look it up if you want to hear it done really, really amazingly cool. I do have the sheet music if you would like to learn it. I enjoy your posts too…. Happy Fiddling!

Yep blues won 2 in a row now, i am trying to stay right in the center with my bow or just over the board ,i seem to get a better resonating song there.

Great job Debbie … this is one I want to have a go at when I get my circular bowing something like consistent. Love the slides
