Glad you’re able to pick up the fiddle again! Sounds like you have a good plan. Double stops are doing my head in!

Well done, Mary! That was a great effort and I reckon you’ve improved so much from when you first posted. I get terrified by public performances and shake so much that I couldn’t do a solo like that.

Great version and awesome double stops going on there! I’m so struggling with double stops :! But they sound really good, well done!

Cool version and variation to the one I’ve learnt. I definitely wouldn’t call you a beginner though!

Well done, Keith. I’m finding using the metronome a good discipline too. It’s a lovely song and you got the timing in the end. Sounded good.

Thank you all, I’ve just revisited it with the metronome on 110 bpm. https://youtu.be/QSJ06PP9dos

That was short, but sweet, Niels. It hard when you’re concentrating the music to worry about your face, but I still do it on songs that I know quite well. I think Jason should do a lesson on how to look cheerful when playing the fiddle because I certainly would like to improve. I’ve tried to consciously smile but when I look at the video it loo…[Read more]

Thanks Debbie! I was really focusing on the variation but listening to it again I realise it sounds a bit muddy on the strings and my timing got out of whack. I’m going to have to do more practice with the metronome.

Thanks for posting, Niels. That was a very tuneful rendition of the song for first go. Makes me want to play it now! Look forward to hearing you play it in a couple of weeks after your practice journey. It’s inspiring watching and hearing how others improve on this forum, and motivating to get in there and practice new techniques and revisit songs.

I’ve been loving learning this tune and adding variation, a slight variation of the variation at times!

Great tune, and you played it beautifully! Is that one you learnt on Fiddlehed? If not, where? And would be a lovely one to add!

Well, Phoebe, I’m glad you liked it and that you’re on your Fiddlehed journey. It’s a very exciting place to be. I’ve just finished my 2nd year and love playing everyday and even though there always seems so much more to learn, it’s never daunting. I’ve finally learnt to have fun and enjoy the practice.

kate.kakadu replied to the topic Wagon wheel using Garage Band accompaniment in the forum Student Videos 2 years, 5 months ago
Hope you post something, Rik, when you’ve had a go. I got inspired by watching others use it. It’s a good way to create accompaniment when you have no one else to play with. I’ve just gone down the piano rabbit hole which has a world of different keyboards, sounds, scales. You don’t even really know how to play piano, or guitar, to create tunes.…[Read more]

You’ve inspired me, Jameseke! I’m going to make vibrato my next challenge. It’s just been one of those things I haven’t been able to get. Love the analogy of the Queen E’s wave!
