    For this months theme I’m working on adding triplets with 1-2-1 & 1-3-1 variations to playing scales as suggested in the module Irish fiddle journeys/triplet variation lesson

    Following up on my previous comment, I just spent an hour or so playing along with your track plus recording some back up chords! Isn’t it great that we can do this around the world & play together to learn these tunes. Until now I have always struggled to get the timing of this gorgeous tune so thank you for sharing x

    Really lovely Kate! Your vibrato and the melody are great then the harmony comes in too!

    Thanks Marg, you’re right it’s a lot to remember & then try to keep the tune & timing too!

    I’m learning to play some Irish embellishments on tunes and feeling inspired after watching some expert fiddlers at a local folk festival yesterday! So this is a version of Kerfunken with some rolls which turn into mordents when I don’t quite hit them (lol!) & some slides for when all else fails!

    Thanks Marg & Nancy. I like to play around with the drone & beat tracks on the Fiddlehed site in the absence of being able to play with others. It’s a great help & lots of fun too.

    Joanne Iles replied to the topic The magic of the Pentatonic Scale CHALLENGE! in the forum Student Videos 4 years ago

    I really like this, it just shows how much fun you can have with scales and how versatile just one scale is at adapting accompaniments to tracks! Lovely sound too with your new pick-up! I didn’t dare do that with my 100 yr old violin, so bought an electric one instead! I see you have an orange amp, I was using my husband’s orange crush bass amp…[Read more]

    I love this tune! I haven’t tried re-tuning the G down to D as Jason does in his lesson for this but instead used the D Drone to get the effect & then just did some drone double stops with A & D open strings.

    Thanks Deb! It was kind of accidental! I couldn’t get one to fit so it’s part of a picture, which I thought sort of works!

    I’ve been trying to get to grips with this sea shanty for a few months & started by playing to the sheet music, I was struggling to keep the rhythm & remember the notes & tempo changes.
    Then a couple of weeks ago I was messing with some beats & thought I’d try it with the hip hop MPC beat! I adapted the tune tune a bit to fit & played it everyday…[Read more]

    Marg, Star Wars Day has become quite a big thing in the UK so I can’t claim the joke! Though it makes me laugh every year!

    That’s true it’s a bit of a sci-fi fiddle! It’s a Wood Stingray Pro with a gorgeous custom paint job! For all that it has a nice true acoustic sound also.
