    Good job, Mary! The DS sounded fine and looked relaxed. Liked the idea of playing melody first. Keep it up!

    Thank you all! I found what Marg says to be true; β€œI find I have to practice a new tune a lot and get to know it well and then the accents seem to come through naturally.”

    That was great Owen, and I could hear your accents. I don’t know how it is for others, but I find I have to practise a new tune a lot and get to know it well and then the accents seem to come through naturally. Having said that though, the fiddle is a hard taskmaster with it’s intricate bowing. Thanks for sharing, it’s inspiring to see how…[Read more]

        Hi JD,

        Here’s a lesson on chordal scales: https://fiddlehed.com/chordal-scales-technique-lesson/
        You need to place your fingers on the tips for most double stops so that you don’t put other strings.

        I recommend you submit a video for feedback. Go here to do that: https://fiddlehed.com/support/video-feedback-lessons/

        You can email me if you still have questions.

        cheers

    Here’s a great little Scottish reel I love playing. I messed around with the electric fiddle & drum gizmo! It’s disappeared from the master list on Fiddlehed but can be found under Bonus Tunes in Module 2.3
