Thanks, Jason, for rebooting the social network! I’m working on Tam Lin (and getting it!!!), Sail Away Ladies, and chord backup. I’ll post a video on Tam Lin when I’ve got it! Great challenge! Still looking for musicians (including Fiddleheds) in the Lowcountry outside Charleston to play with! View

    It’s easier to bow on the D and A strings for most beginners. Why are the G and E strings harder?

    The E is challenging because it’s temperamental. It tends to sound screechy. It requires a lighter t […]

      Wow, I have been practicing frozen in space, never moving. I didn’t realize it was ok to move a little bit to work with the strings. This has been very helpful (and my back thanks you!).

    Great job, Debbie. I really enjoyed that one. Great tone, flow and double stops.

    Are your string crossings sloppy? Do you unintentionally hit other strings as you play? Are the fingered notes a bit mushy?

    If so, you’re not alone. These are common bowing pitfalls. In this lesson I’ll give y […]

      Hello Jason! Are all the bow hairs supposed to be flat on string? Or is it only part of the width of hairs hitting the string? I never know what to do or practice. New to Fiddlehed!

    Do you struggle with getting a good sound on the fiddle? Are you unsure of how much pressure to use? Do you want a smoother bow sound?
