Joanne Iles started the topic Lover's Waltz-new very old fiddle audition in the forum Student Videos 5 years, 2 months ago

After 2 years learning with a student fiddle I decided to invest in my “forever fiddle”. My local music shop kindly sourced a number of beautiful old German fiddles from around the country as they thought they would suit the Celtic & Old Time tunes I like to play. After a few hours of playing & listening I finally plumped for this old & well worn…[Read more]

Thanks Carolyn. I’m still trying to work out what is too much, or just enough accompaniment. At the moment I’m just copying from the original, but am getting more confident to deviate a little now and again.
Carolyn replied to the topic Fisherman’s Blues in the forum Student Videos 5 years, 2 months ago

That’s great! It’s so hard to work out fiddle accompaniment and tags that don’t walk on the vocals and also sounds nice. I know–I’ve tried!
Also, your fiddle has a sweet sound.

Nice! It’s such a cool tune, and you are doing great on it! Metronome is a demanding master.
Carolyn replied to the topic Angeline Baker, Speed Challenge in the forum Student Videos 5 years, 2 months ago

Thanks! It really is encouraging to hear from other players.
I’ve gotten to 185 now, but decided not to make a video, since it sounds just the same, only a bit faster. Maybe I will get it up to real speed, set it with other instruments and do a grand finale sometime soon!

Thank you @kate-kakadu and @cynhrossi for kind words. I find slow songs like those are a great break from the harder work of double stops, metronome and speed challenges!

Happy to report I’m getting compliments about my progress…. 1 friend said “Stop calling yourself a beginner”….. my fiddle teacher said: “ You’re doing some advanced intermediate bowing”…. Leaning so much & playing leads in jams!

Fantastic, Carolyn! And you’re doing double stops at that speed! Very inspiring challenge – thanks for posting
kate.kakadu replied to the topic Give the Fiddler a Dram Timing Challenge in the forum Student Videos 5 years, 2 months ago

Well done, Joanne! It’s a very good discipline to practice with the metronome and drum beats. I need to do more of it with the songs I’ve learnt. I seem to get to a certain speed and then everything falls apart!
kate.kakadu replied to the topic Fisherman’s Blues in the forum Student Videos 5 years, 2 months ago

Thanks Joanne! I’m getting used to it and am still a bit squeaky. I just realised that I made my backing track very loud in comparison, so apologies to listeners for that!
kate.kakadu replied to the topic Celtic Laments in the forum Student Videos 5 years, 2 months ago

Beautifully played, Tom, with lots of soul!
Joanne Iles replied to the topic Fisherman’s Blues in the forum Student Videos 5 years, 2 months ago

That’s really nice Kate, thanks for sharing. Love the sound of the electric fiddle!
