    What defines it? How many notes are there in a scale?

    My simple definition: A scale is a group of notes used to practice a musical instrument.

    It’s a series of small steps defined by a root note and […]

        Hi JD,

        Here’s a lesson on chordal scales: https://fiddlehed.com/chordal-scales-technique-lesson/
        You need to place your fingers on the tips for most double stops so that you don’t put other strings.

        I recommend you submit a video for feedback. Go here to do that: https://fiddlehed.com/support/video-feedback-lessons/

        You can email me if you still have questions.

        cheers

    Niiiice.So great to hear you playing this cool tune.

    Your tone and tuning is really good!

    I would work on playing at a steady tempo. Play each quarter with a metronome. Loop at different speeds. Nothing too fast. Just go for steadiness. Eventually play the whole tune with a metronome.

    Let me know how it goes: [email protected]

    I agree with all the above comments Marg! Beautifully done. As I listened, I thought I recognized the melody. After a bit, I realized it seemed so like Shady Grove, a song I know. Could they be one and the same, I wonder. Great job Marg.

    Here’s the lyrics. Try singing it to the melody. I can’t sing well, but it’s fun and helps you know where the song’s going.
