Thanks Joanne! I’m getting used to it and am still a bit squeaky. I just realised that I made my backing track very loud in comparison, so apologies to listeners for that!

Beautifully played, Tom, with lots of soul!

Well done James! I need to do a lot more practice. Oh I wish I could do double stops without strangling my fiddle!

Wow! Now I want to learn the banjo too! It sounded really good and I think you should also do a lesson on how you did the video – It’s a great idea to create your own accompaniment. Thanks for posting!

Love that song and you nailed it! Well done – great timing too. Look forward to hearing and seeing more!

Well done Owen! Haven’t heard that tune before but really like it. Obviously a challenging one, but look forward to learning it one day! Thanks for sharing – it always inspires watching and hearing someone else play!

Thanks everyone! I’m looking forward to progressing onto the next version of it with embellishments that Jason said he’d post. Still need to work on the bow hand though.

Cool slides and really liked the sound you made and groove you had. I didn’t recognise it as Will the Circle be Unbroken, but that may be because of the tuning of your violin.

Very impressive for just learning the song! I wish I could play at that speed, but it just gets messy!

Sounds great, Joanne! Nice slides and great idea using the raagini drone and beat. Love this song too and want to learn the Jack Black version’s violin accompaniment- That would be a good call and response lesson, Jason!

Well, I’m impressed! One day I hope I can do double stops, and play nice flourishes that you include!

I wish I could play so sweet!
