Fiddling With Pink Moon
Here’s a fiddle version of “Pink Moon” by Nick Drake. Liner notes On the surface it sounds like a simple folk song. But both the guitar strum pattern […]-
Wow, Jason, you have tremendous talent! It sounds awesome to me! And yes, it is ALL about not giving up! Isn’t that what we should all do in life…. Great job! I’d love to hear the piano part…

I really enjoyed listening to this. Great job with the fiddle arrangement. I would be interested in learning an “untraditional song” perhaps a new fiddle journey. Thank you for keeping the new ideas flowing!

Love it! Well worth all your effort!

This is absolutely gorgeous, Jason. Good on you for persevering!

I really liked it. It was just fun listening to the fiddling (and your singing).

What page are you on where it’s not working?

jason kleinberg started the topic Practice journal Feb. 5 in the forum Share Your Practice 2 years, 3 months ago
Time: about 90m
What I did:
-New melody in G Major pentatonic
-“Blues-Grass”. version of Don’t Cry To Me
-Do you realize song
What went well:
Good arranging ideas for 2 tunes. Lots of wandering but I recorded it so I can reference it later.
Could use improvement:
Singing technique…getting hoarse…maybe because I’m practicing late. -

Treat E7 like an E chord for the time being. Same goes for all “color chords” like Esus, E9, etc. -

Fiddle Goals For 2024
Are you someone who benefits from having a goal? Or do goals make you anxious? I suggest three goals that I think you and all my students can […]-
Good goals & incentives. Makes me feel like I can do this

Thanks for this feedback Christie, helps to hear your perspective! 🙂

Thank-you for reminding me, time to reflect and look towards next year! Since I started Feb. 7, ’22, I’ve only missed 2 days of practice, so I will also _aim to Play Every Day in 2024_ 🙂 My _2nd goal is to Practice Wisely_. In 2023, I tried to incorporate some Brainjo Principles into my practice, mainly that of “work” for ~ 30 min and then allow your brain to catch-up for ~4 hrs (so 3 mini sessions per day). I like to practice 1 – 2 hrs per day total, but for me, this seems to work better in 2 sessions of an hour-ish, so I’m going to work along those lines. For me, practice is some combo of Scales, Scales, Scales, Bowing, Bowing, Bowing (right hand rhythm development), finger independence exercises, playing 2 notes at the same time exercise, learning new techniques, reviewing songs that I know (this is fun time to me, especially with waltzes). I’m continuing to work towards playing at faster tempos (using an Atomic Habits approach). In 2024, I really need to work at learning by ear (I’m able to do this in your workshops because your pace suits me, but I need to do it quicker during jams). I will improve this area by committing to learning 1 song per week by ear. Happy New Year to you and your family Jason (thank-you for all that you do for us), and Happy New Year to all of you FiddleHeds 🙂🎻
