That was fun, thanks Owen. Wish I could get my vibrato like yours. It’s my next challenge!

That sounded lovely! You made those strings sing. Are you going to post a follow up comparison video?

So beautiful Marg! Lovely interweaving of harmonies between the two violin parts. You’re are so inspiring to all of us! I truly don’t think that there’s anything to change or cut out – it was such a pleasure to listen to.

Thanks Marg! You were the inspiration with your medley. I think strum machine is a good way to build up speed on songs. I really liked how the songs in your medley interwove so beautifully. That may be a good thing for Jason to teach or discuss – how to compile a complimentary set.

Kate, this is absolutely fantastic! Good on you, and glad you’re having fun with Strum Machine. I loved your playing especially the rolls, great Irish feel, beautiful intonation. Wow, blew me away!

Thanks for your feedback! I’ve been really working on my bow hold and having a flexible and not rigid hand to work towards smooth changes – a work in progress but finally seeing some improvement. The selection of songs is pretty random, just songs I liked and wanted to improve, or try variation on. The main challenge was doing a set of something a…[Read more]

I added a couple of links in the Youtube description. If you click the “Watch on YouTube” link, you can see them in the description under the video.

nope… can’t post links 🙁

Thanks. A agree totally with the need for momore repirition, but at 7:30, I was already well over the 5:000 suggested in Jason’s email.

And sory about no comments. I find this forum site is often a bit flakey. I tryied to put links in my original post, but it wouldnt post them. Then I posted the video with just a single line of comment above and…[Read more]

Tom,

Great job! I like the tune. I feel like I would have benefited a bit by a little more repetition on the different quarters. I also don’t see the link you included. Congrats on being the first up – appreciate your time and effort.

Wasn’t that wonderful! Really smooth bowing and so well done, Kate. Did you choose the songs by key, style or both?

Nice! Smooth transitions. Love the background choice. Your intonation is so good!

So sorry I missed that rendition, Patty. I thought you played it really well; timing, tone and bowing! Love that it touches different octaves. I will have to try it. Wonder if is considered old time bluegrass. Will have to look it up. Bravo‼️

What a great reworking of Humpty Dumpty, my Grandaughter would love this. Owen your playing is really strong and precise, I loved the embellishments too and a nice vibrato to finish. It’s so inspiring to see how everyone’s developing their fiddle playing, thanks for sharing. 🙂

That sounded like fun, Joanne. Liked the beat and the triplets. I am shy of playing in front of people (good with animals), but there are many jams here in Richmond, Virginia. But, right know Strum Machine suffices. I like it.

Wow, you picked that one up fast Owen! Nice embellishments too!
