The physical aspect of fiddling in the forum Beginner Group 2 years, 4 months agoHi everyone,
I’m relatively new to the fiddle and really delighted to finally get the chance to learn it. So I like to practise a good bit — trying to make up for the decades I missed out on, I suppose — but I’m really feeling it in the auld bones. I was wondering if any of you would like to share your tips on how you’re dealing with that?

G string double stops (or C string for vla). in the forum Advanced Beginner Group 2 years, 5 months agoHey Steve, great inquiry. Have you figured anything more out in the last week with this? I’d be interested to see you show a specific example of this.
I feel as though we can add double stops to anything we want, with any adjacent string, permitting it makes sense for us in terms of notes sounding good together, and that the technical aspect of…[Read more] -

G string double stops (or C string for vla). in the forum Advanced Beginner Group 2 years, 5 months agoCurious if I want to (or should I?) Add double stops to notes I play on the G string can I use the open A (or open G on Vla) or do I need to add fingering to that higher string? Thanks

Tammy Hunsucker posted an update in the group
Beginner Group 2 years, 6 months agoCan anyone help me figure out the tabs to the song One Star in the Night from the classic Christmas tv special: The Little Drummer Boy? The original recording can be found on YouTube, many posts. I can get as far as the third line in the first verse:
“You can hear the music”, but I cant figure out the tabs for the last line: “If you listen with…[Read more]-
Hi Tammy, what a lovely and haunting tune! Your getting well acquainted with it through this process.
I noticed the original recording of tune has multiple flats, so I…-
Thank you so much!! I’ll try this and keep fiddling away!

Hey Tammy, took a look at this song again and noticed, if one has interest to change key, an easier version would start 1 note up:
D0-AL2-0-DL2-0
DL1-AL2-0-DL2-0
DL2-A3-L1-D3-L1-AL2-DL2-L1-0-A0-D3-0-H2
-
And another version that starts 1 note down from original:
