However, timing timing timing! Really need to work on getting that solid and getting the lilts in the right place too. Still, I feel like I’m slowly slowly getting a little better. My husband is playing a gig at our local pub before the England match later. Next…[Read more]

    In reply to - Jeannette started the topic The Cradle Song in the forum Student Videos I love this tune by James Scott Skinner. As well as making it smoother and more flowing, I really want to start to work on making it sound more Scottish with grace notes. I feel like, after 10 months of learning, my fingers are starting to occasionally find the right spot on the fretboard - or at least my ear is getting better at being able to tell when they're not on the right spot! ]]>         1c3b057e79d83478be200a657a087691 Jeannette replied to the topic The Cradle Song in the forum Student Videos https://fiddlehed.com/forums/topic/the-cradle-song/#post-48217 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 07:06:58 -0700

    I started learning this tune yesterday and it is almost in my head but not quite yet in my fingers! Certainly not at the 170bpm it’s meant to be at. I am playing it here at about 110bpm but I actually forgot to listen to my metronome when I recorded this so the timing is somewhat off! I love it though – it’s a proper happy,…[Read more]

I think you have great tone, flow & musicality. Recording yourself is a great way to monitor your progress and hear what others are hearing. I guess practise, practise practise is our new mantra! I look forward to hearing more.

    Hi, I’d love to! I’ve sent you a private message J
      In reply to - Jeannette posted an update Good morning all, I’m in an established practice group with 2 ladies from across the pond, which I love! However, the time difference means that we can’t meet until after around 2-3pm UK time. Late afternoon & evening meets are fine but I wonder if there is anyone who is in the UK (or in a time zone close to it) who would be interested in day-time virtual meets. I’ve been playing for 6 months so still very much a beginner. Any tips on how to successfully upload a profile pic also gratefully received! When I try, I just get the outer corner of the picture & can’t figure how to move it around. Thanks in advance J ]]>             205342baa07f601da6bcfe135ae5ecb4 Jeannette posted an update: Good morning all, I’m in an established practice group with 2 […] https://fiddlehed.com/activity-streams/p/12740/ Sun, 14 Mar 2021 08:10:53 -0700 Good morning all, I’m in an established practice group with 2 ladies from across the pond, which I love!
