    I’m bowing challenged! I’m confused about which bowing pattern to use with a reel, jig, polka, etc. and in which style -Irish, Appalachian, etc. I’d like a lesson or two on the possibilities and also some bowing suggestions on the sheet music.

    I’ve returned to the FUNdamental skill of slurs across strings. I’m practicing it with patterns and fingerings to make it challenging. Slowly building up speed.

    I’m also working on chordal double stops.

    What about you?

    Thanks for sharing yourself playing this song with us Lisa, and for reaching out for feedback.
    Here’s a rough video of some ideas for practising – please bear with my ‘umms’ 🙂

    Love this tune. I first heard it played by Riddle Fiddles; a fiddle teaching/performing group who practice in the Scottish Borders.

    Thanks Jason for turning it into a FiddleHed lesson.

    Doing a review of first level tunes I discover that Little Liza Jane was way way too fast. Even now that I’ve been here several months I find the last part of the play-along track too fast. Anybody else?

      Thanks for sharing Margaret. Yes it’s quite fast. I tried to thumb strum it with fiddle in guitar position and that helped at bit. Way to try it tho, and yes, other…

      Fiddlehed is, bar none, the best fiddle instructor in the world, imo!!! Yesterday I signed up for the year and am so very happy. My fiddle was tucked away for a few years. About a week ago, I took advantage of the free 2 weeks, and then I re-discovered the joy of learning the fiddle again. I’d started back at the beginner level, as I’d…[Read more]

      Hello folks,
      Two days ago I joined this group. I kind of expected a “Hello and Welcome”. I know I didn’t get a greeting when I joined the beginner group and I admit I was a bit puzzled. What sort of culture is this I wondered. It used to be, during better times I guess, that when you sort of hung around a group for a bit somebody, generally…[Read more]

        is it OK if I talk about Me? Me is, after all the only subject about which I have much knowledge. Yes, I love music, especially instrumental classical string music. I confess I don’t know much about music, cannot identify even the most well-known of classical pieces much less their creators. I’d guess that comes from spending decades in a…[Read more]
