    Cool slides and really liked the sound you made and groove you had. I didn’t recognise it as Will the Circle be Unbroken, but that may be because of the tuning of your violin. Next time record yourself playing along with the track so when you listen back you can identify the parts you need to work on. I’ve been playing 18months now and have imp…[Read more]

    Thanks Owen! I could imagine it being a great tune to play at a jam….one day, let’s hope.

    Nicely done, Joanne! Yeah, the slides were cool! I like that song as well. Back before the Pandemic it would be played occasionally at one of the Jams here in Richmond, Va.

    Well done, Tom! It’s a lovely waltz. I’m finding timing can be tricky, so I’m trying to count myself in and stamp my foot as I play along with the drone. Doesn’t always work though!

    Very impressive for just learning the song! I wish I could play at that speed, but it just gets messy!

    Sounds great, Joanne! Nice slides and great idea using the raagini drone and beat. Love this song too and want to learn the Jack Black version’s violin accompaniment- That would be a good call and response lesson, Jason!

    Ah, that’s great, Jo. I can really see how that tune could get under your skin! Well done [again!]

    I’ve been practicing some simpler tunes along with a beat to try & improve my timing & I’ve got a bit hooked by this tune! In particular, the version by Jack White that is shared on the fiddlehed site. This is recorded with the Fiddlehed Beat Central brushes 4/4 & raagini D Drone.

    I’m just a few days away from playing for one year, and I’m finally venturing out with a post for the FiddleHed world to see. This song is called Sliab na mBan.
