In reply to - Mike Battershell posted an update Hello Fiddlehed members, I finally took the plunge and joined after my exposure to Jason\'s lessons on YTube and the Circle.com Play Everyday events since September. I have been playing fiddle for the past 3 years and am mostly self taught with 6 weeks of lessons from a local music shop the past Spring. I found that I spent more time driving then playing. I also like to attend several local Irish Sessions that happen in my area each month. I look forward to getting to know many of you in the year ahead! ]]> 2cbfe4937aa9f20659b33f49fb1d4b9f Jocelyn Martens replied to the topic Frustration in the forum Beginner Group https://fiddlehed.com/groups/beginners/forum/topic/frustration/#post-75054 Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:17:52 -0800 Hi Steve, thanks for sharing.
