    Steve "Ripton" Nordborg started the topic Group logo of Advanced Beginner GroupG string double stops (or C string for vla). in the forum Advanced Beginner Group 2 years, 5 months ago

    Curious if I want to (or should I?) Add double stops to notes I play on the G string can I use the open A (or open G on Vla) or do I need to add fingering to that higher string? Thanks

    Can anyone help me figure out the tabs to the song One Star in the Night from the classic Christmas tv special: The Little Drummer Boy? The original recording can be found on YouTube, many posts. I can get as far as the third line in the first verse:
    “You can hear the music”, but I cant figure out the tabs for the last line: “If you listen with…[Read more]

              Hey Tammy, took a look at this song again and noticed, if one has interest to change key, an easier version would start 1 note up:
              D0-AL2-0-DL2-0
              DL1-AL2-0-DL2-0
              DL2-A3-L1-D3-L1-AL2-DL2-L1-0-A0-D3-0-H2

              I have April 17 of this year in my journal as the first day I signed up for Fiddlehed lessons. One of the deciding factors for me to sign up was a phrase that said something like “Where will you be in a year”. Now its six months later and I’m so proud of myself for sticking with learning an instrument! These courses are perfect for the way I…[Read more]

                  Hey new fiddle-friends 🎻 I put my instrument down for vacay. It took a little extra gumption, back at home, to get things up and running again. But when I did… I was surprised at how much my fingers remembered without having to think about it too much. I’ve been simmering on the statement “you’re a musician when you practice everyday”. I’ve alwa…[Read more]
