Intermediate Group 5 years, 2 months agoJust checking this out. I’m meeting with two other fiddlers from the group lessons we’ve been doing on Saturday. IT’s been fun and instructive. I, too, am in eastern daylight savings. Mary

Super fun to play some back up fiddle with this amazing singer named @jongmadaliday from the Philippines who I found on TikTok 😻. I’m kind of a noob at this, so still totally amazed that with a little bit of effo […]

Jason, how do we hear what you did? I don’t have access to anything except your lessons.

Wait…. never mind, I found it.

That’s way cool!! My biggest goal in fiddling us to play along with a picker/singer enviornment.

Have you been playing for a while and noticed that the hair on your bow has a case of “bed head” and isn’t quite falling into line anymore? Or maybe a bow was gifted to you, but the hair has more gaps than […]

Good bow sound Charles!
Just curious: the fiddle sounds like it’s tuned low. Is that so? If not intended, you might want to check the tuning with an electronic tuner.
keep on keeping’ on…

Hey Charles,
Stick with comments from other learning fiddler’s! Not bad at all, and smooth bowing for such a beginner. I think you are going to be quite good! It’s your journey, enjoy it; practice often and video once per month, sounds great!!

Hi there fellow fiddlers. I am wondering if you try to learn each tune by heart before moving on. I am finding Angeline the Baker is taking forever- maybe I need to find the words to the song so that I can sing it too. I really didn’t like the tune to start with but it is growing on me now! How are you doing withthings like making sure that you…[Read more]

Hi Barbara. I tried to reply to this a few days ago but for some reason it didn’t post. I don’t learn pieces by heart before going to another. Lots of them I use for…-

Nice @tszalay. I was going to teach the lower octave but got side-tracked with Irish embellishment.
The video looks great. What camera did you use?

Hey Tom,
Way to jump right in! Playing in the lower octave G Scale is not easy; lots of third finger stretching. Very well done!

Thank you, Mark. Brilliant would be the last word I’d ever use to describe my playing….but, I would call my desire to play quite high. A couple of years ago, with very limited talent, or bravery, I walked into a brewery where a fiddle jam was proceeding and managed to have a good time playing some simply back-up chords to some bluegrass tunes…[Read more]

Hey Barbara,
Yeah, this course is touted more as a journey, than as a book “to get thru.” Probably a good way to look at it. Sometimes everyone needs a journey to keep one “lively.” I took lessons for three months over 30 yrs. ago and dropped it as other things replaced that. Four years ago I saw the need, picked up my daughter’s violin and found…[Read more]

Thank you NettieLynn. I do like Irish music. How long have you played the violin? And what kind of music do you favor?
