Thank you for the encouragement. Blessings on your new baby

Jason, very inspiring post today! So many messages in it, I think I’m going to print it out to reread when I need a reminder.

Also, the artwork is absolutely mesmerizing, I can’t decide which tree I like the best! Who is the artist?

Finally, CONGRATS!!! I’ve been keeping you and Melissa in my thoughts for this wonderful event to happen and now it is!!

Wow, what an inspiring post. Such great messages for us as we are on this journey to play beautiful music. This is definitely one to bookmark or print to read again whenever we are feeling frustrated and impatient with our progress. I love the first tree best 😀

Playing with the drone and focusing on playing the d created a strong sense of calm. One with the music….

The best teachers may be those with a love of learning. Thoughts with you today, Jason.

Such a wonderful time… many congratulations to you and Melissa. And thank you for the inspiration. Rick Rubin seems like such an interesting guy… and what a career! I would imagine he’d have so many insights about the creative process. My thoughts are with you as you embark on this wonderful journey.

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing!

What lovely news. You are certainly embarking on a wonderful adventure. Wishing you both and the baby great happiness and fulfillment. Thank you so much for your personal touch in Fiddlehed. I value your work and guidance immensely and you have made such a difference to my fiddle journey, thank you Jason. 😊

A fiddle lesson from a hospital waiting room. A life lesson. I’m so deeply happy to be part of this community. 🙂

Congratulations, Jason, to you both and the little one!

Love the meditation. Very calming and helpful to get focused. Definitely provide more as you can.

Thanks for the journey, Cindy

Great technique for jams that are maybe just a bit above our skill level. I think listening and playing backup chords really help and just sitting in on the sessions trains your mind to move a little faster. Although you may need to sit in a few sessions before you feel comfortable doing it, when it is your turn to lead a tune, don’t defer! Then set the tempo at your comfort level. It won’t hurt all those speed demons to play one correctly at a slower tempo!
