What are you practicing these days? I’m currently practicing singing and playing backup on songs like Wildflowers (Tom Petty), Don’t Think Twice (Dylan) and others. I started voice lessons […]
-
Continuing to work on technique based on “Soldier’s Joy”. Went back to working on “Wagon Wheel” fiddle breaks and vocals. Plan to start on “”Move It On Over”. Basic and then hopefully get more advanced giving it a blue sound similar to George Thorogood’s influence.
-
Very cool. I’m also working on wagon wheel singing + backup.
-
-
I went to my first jam session a few weeks ago. Now I’m reviewing tunes to see if there are any I might be brave enough to lead and practicing backup and chords.
-
Nice! You’re making such good progress with playing out.
-
-
Do you have fiddle music for Don’t Think Twice? My partner sings this and plays guitar, I would love to be able to join in…
-
Hey Lindsey,
I don’t but I recommend Musescore for this. You can transpose things there. I pay for the app…
Let me know if that works.

I’ve been practicing some jazz tunes like “Fly Me To the Moon,” and “All of Me.” I’ve also been working on playing back up on some contemporary Christian songs. I play the keyboard in a Praise band, so I’m trying to include the violin. I got a mandolin for Christmas so that’s another project (moving a little slower with that; not enough hours in the day)!
-
Nice! I know a few older country gospel songs, but that’s pretty unexplored.
That praise band sounds awesome.
-
-
That was great yesterday with the Wellerman. Playing in a different key made it hard for play and respond. But that’s on me. I’m still working on cleaning up Josefins, dopval, Halsa dem Darhemma and Ganglat fran Appelbo and will be adding Visa Vid Vindens Angar and Dansen Ungdom once I can get them transcribed to Alto.
Cheers
-
Nice, sounds like Scandinavian fiddle. I learned a bunch of that last year.
Did you learn how to transpose to alto with a notation program like Muse?
-
I do use Muse, but also just try to keep it note for note. Playing with a group I’m trying to keep it in the same key and I don’t know how otherwise. Muse can bounce the key around. The group leader has been tossing me a few scores that she arranged for the viola which I love.

This w/e practicing for private jam I go to on Mondays. An older guy there has introduced Maple Sugar, Snow Deer, Down Yonder and Under the Double Eagle. I’m pretty strong on learning tunes, but I still need to work on faster tempos…And I learn melodies, but I feel I need to better learn the tune chords. 🤓🎻

As for myself, I practice scales for tunes I’m working on.
I still practice the pentatonic a lot, adding different types of variation.

Do you practice scales?
If so, how?
What’s your relationship with scales?
Are they fun, horrible or neutral.Do you use scale books?
How about the scale lessons in the FiddleHed course?
Or Scale Central? https://fiddlehed.com/practice-tools/scale-central/
Let me know!!

Good lesson!!!! I’ve struggled with improvisation for the longest time. This blows away a lot of the fog !!!🎶🎶

Very good to hear, Mike! Such relevant, useful and fun content 🙂 Be great to experience you playing and working on this. Enjoy 🎶

Thanks for this workshop Jason, as with all your workshops, it was really well paced with clear instructions. I think the jam tracks are a real winner! I’m looking forward to coming along for the ride as you develop your ideas on teaching improvisation.
Would you consider a lesson on Gershwin’s Summertime at some stage?-
Thanks for sharing this reflection, Marg. Improv is a big draw for expansion and creative growth 👍🏼
I will include your lesson suggestion to our list for consideration, and please stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to be supported in one another sharing song lessons with the community. 🙂

Transitions sound pretty good!
If you want to get more confident, then practice “Transition Loops” (2-4 bars total):

I really enjoyed listening to this. Great job with the fiddle arrangement. I would be interested in learning an “untraditional song” perhaps a new fiddle journey. Thank you for keeping the new ideas flowing!

Love it! Well worth all your effort!

This is absolutely gorgeous, Jason. Good on you for persevering!

I really liked it. It was just fun listening to the fiddling (and your singing).
