Love this shuffle version! You learned this one quickly!

Thanks Debbie! Nice rhythm! I’ll try this one.

Bravo Debbie! You played it very nicely!
The tune makes me happy on this beautiful spring day!

Very nice, Deb! I really enjoyed those cuts or Grace notes, whatever. I’ll try chording along!

Yes, that figures! I found F pentatonic goes well with his version he just recorded for me to practice with.

I warm up with scales practice G to A with different rhythm variations, in particular, I find pedal rhythm helps me get my ear if I don’t have a drone.
I always play through the scale of the tune I’m working on especially pentatonic.

I simply go over the tunes I know and try to iron out any bumps, focusing on one or two tunes at a time. Then I spend a while learning a new tune (Blackest Crow at the moment) and finally just for fun I play the tunes I like best and sometimes experiment with a bit of variation, like slightly changing the rhythm or setting a different emphasis…[Read more]

I’m a scaleaholic!! I play scales before
anything else is played.
When learning a song I play a line or two then play the related scale with rhythm and different bowing. I practice major, minor and love pentatonics and the blues scale!!!
I also play triads G up to E and back. I have not worked as much as I should with modes but that is a goal

As for myself, I practice scales for tunes I’m working on.

I still practice the pentatonic a lot, adding different types of variation.

You get the prize for best strategy.
I like the blend of focus and free play.

Good to have you Sarah!
That’s a big review list. Looks fun…
Let me know how it goes…

I’ll share my version soon!
chords are mostly Bb/F/C/F

Glad you can attend the Hoot!
