    For some reason my go to tune is Whiskey Before Breakfast! I only ever play it when I’m struggling! That leads to Over The Waterfall and then I’m back & into my playing. On tired days I love to play soothing tunes; Midnight on the Water, Lonesome Moonlight Waltz, Dawning of the day, Lovers Waltz.

    Practice a 1000 times!
    OK maybe not exactly 1000 but repeating and especially as you say, the part I find the hardest. The playback samples on Fiddlehed are great for this, you can just play each quarter over & over until it’s in the memory & fingers!

    Hi Owen,
    I use a mac book Pro and a Scarlett interface which lets you plug in a mic, instrument & headphones. Works well for Zoom & Garageband

      sorry to bombard….but I donโ€™t think I ever shared this one!
      Me and my husband Richard did a version of this on GarageBand and iMovie to make this fun little vid! You may recognise the Fiddlehed rhythm section!

      Another atmospheric tune I’m working on after Jason’s lesson is the Dawning of the Day again, a lot of reverb and echo on this creation…..

              Thank you for sharing Joanne. I really enjoy shetlan tunes… I have some Scottish heritage in my family. You play this song beautifully, nice effects too. Really appreciate the background information aswell 🙂🎶🌈

              I’ve been a bit hooked on this tune since Jason’s lesson! I’ve taken the learning points and listened & try to copy the Tyler Childers version!

              Thanks both! I’ve always struggled with this tune but love it & in this different tuning it sounds like it might work better for me. I need to work on some better fingered ds & chord rhythms! Love these new challenges!

              This is very much a work in progress but the resonance on this tune is lovely in this tuning

                I’m playing a lot in our campervan this year & had got a bit of a cramped up & lazy posture! I saw this post & looked at my left wrist position brought it forward so I’m back to using the fingertips straight down onto the strings & can hear straight away an improvement in sound much clearer & easier to play a bit faster too!

                Nice video Vera! I really like messing around with recordings like this and layering different melodies & backing, it’s fun isn’t it? I’m not familiar with the tune so thanks for sharing x
