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

    A lot of my students want to improve their timing and play faster. But when I suggest using a metronome their eyes glaze over. It just doesn’t seem like fun.

    I get it. I believe that learning and practice can […]

    Playing on the open strings is your magical amulet for more fun and productive sessions. Do this at the start, middle and end of a practice period. It’s a way for the mind and body to relax and reset.

    Here’s a question I hear all the time: “How do I play faster?”

    It may take time to ramp up your speed, but you can do it. Go into this with the right mindset: work at your edge. Don’t worry if you can’t […]

      J,
      Thank you–I never could get “up to speed” but I’m going to follow your approach, and I appreciate it your suggestions. I got to start using my metronome. I also got to start writing my progress down.
