Thanks for the feedback.
Jason had asked me to post this tune a few weeks ago.
Obviously I still need to work on it.On a side note, I had a lot of trouble posting.
Cloud flare said the .mov file was too big, however I have seen
others .mov files that seemed longer ?Oh well, thank you Jocelyn.
I really enjoy the “no fear” sessions. -

Thanks for this lovely share of your playing, John. 👏🏼
As you reached out, requesting feedback regarding tone, here’s a rough video I made in response:

Good afternoon,
I’m attaching my idea of Freres Jacques and Oh Susanna, I think because that’s the ones that were checked off to get me to start putting my stuff “out there.” Yuk! I never know how shy I am until I do this. Okay, thanks,

Thanks for the great feedback, Jocelyn! I’ll definitely keep experimenting with bow angling and finger mobility on the neck. Appreciate it!

Congrats on making this video Thomas 👏🏼 and putting it out there!
Be great to hear how other FiddleHed folks experience your playing as possible.
I’ve created a rough feedback video and also wanted to mention a few more points:

I’m seriously considering taking up my fiddle journey that I abandoned 2 years ago. I totally get the practice method you laid out. My question is how does everyone deal with your practice when you go on vacation? I’ve tried takin my instrument(s) with me but find it hard to make the wanted/needed practice time away from home. Any thoughts?
-
Jim, glad you shared and inquired. This is a great question.
I find when I bring my instrument while travelling, I often play less often – though the times I do play, I feel really glad I brought it. When bringing the instrument with me to a different environment and lifestyle, my playing experience is fresh and rich in a different way… my perspective and approach to playing can really transform in a new space and state. I especially like this somewhere in nature, with no service or resources on hand and see what comes up.
Be great to hear how this works for folks.-
Good morning–I just started to take fiddle lessons from y’all; for what it’s worth, I’m going to have to travel to visit family and friends in September. I’m a recent widow and I have been neglectful and must go and do this–but enough about me. I do plan to bring my violin. I was actually thinking about this. I plan to “pluck.” It’s not the same, but it’s better than stopping the momentum that I have right now. I haven’t done this yet, but I’ll report back. When I was playing (well, I still do) the tin whistle–it was next to impossible to keep people from jumping out of their skin when I started up. All the best, Rosalie (werbose)
-
One thing I forgot to mention was that you could probably use a mute if you are going to take your instrument on “vacation” with you. It will significantly reduce the volume.
-
Ah, that’s right. I am renting a fiddle right now and will be buying one next week and a mute is on my list of stuff I want to go with it. The “practice” mute is a big plastic or rubber thing–impressive! I do live in an apartment building, and I have asked around if I’m driving people nuts, but they seem to have been okay so far (well, I don’t play in the middle of the night…). Best, Rosalie W.

Really good lesson, Jason! Good coaching; while practicing, drop back to bowing basics! Will do! Thanks!

Sure!
Spend a little time each day focused on sound. -
Great lesson to return to, I’m going to try to revisit this once a month!
-
Always good to come back to basics. It helps to clear some of the fog accumulated along the fiddle journey and get a fresh start.

Jason,
You are the BEST.
My sound is really starting to improve.
Thank You,
John
