Good job, Mary. You’re exactly right, lower E to upper E, and all the work on the E string….a rough song to perfect. Looks like your picking it up quickly! Have fun at the jam. Currently, I attend a jam once/month and lean on I/IV/V back-up chords mostly, till they “force me” to lead something.

Here’s a powerful practice strategy called “Transposition Loops.” Take a small musical chunk, transpose it, and then alternate between the original and the transposed piece.
Say you’re trying to learn […]

Hey Patty, never heard “Midnight on the Water.” Very nicely done, bravo! I liked the slides, and tempo, as well!

Enjoyed the hangout today and playing with Grace and Tom and Patty. You all helped me get a good start on Blackest Crow.

Here’s a simple yet powerful practice technique: Alternate between a tune and its scale.
If you’re practicing Arkansas Traveller, alternate between playing the tune and the D Major scale.
Use a D drone to […]

Hey Henry…just keep practicing. I’m hoping to do group lessons at two different times: 12 and 6 PM PST. That way people all around the world can tune in at a convenient time. Now training a fiddle tutor to help with this. 🤓

I’m new to your course and enjoying very much. I think a lesson on the Mixolydian scale (and other scales) would be good. As you mentioned in your video above, reviewing the scales with the song would be a big help.
I know a little music theory but not very much so if you have any lessons on Music Theory they would be of interest to me.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for your feedback and inquiring, John.
One can use the search bar at the top of screen to type in keywords to see what similar content is available.
When searching mixolydian, a couple options show up: What is Mixolydian Scale and Fiddling with Mixolydian mode
As for Music Theory, the section called Note Reading for Fiddlers can support learning theory. It can be found under the ‘Courses” tab, then ‘Pathways’
There’s also some common questions answered in the page Fiddle Questions about note reading, found in ‘Support’ tab.

I like how you made some variations 2nd time around, and it didn’t sound much out of tune to me. It’s easy to speed up in the second half. Very enjoyable to listen to!! Thanks, Jeanette.

Because I live in a “Data Desert,” where High Speed is but a dream; I was forced to go to Pole Green Park in town, where data is abundant to listen and watch Office Hours with Melinda on my Iphone. She is a very creative teacher, making a classroom experience that fits her audience on that day. On this day, there weren’t many questions or comments…[Read more]
