Hey Richie @r88,
Thanks for sharing. Not a lot of absolute beginners do that!
I liked how you gave a little instruction at the beginning. Trying to teach something is a great way to learn more deeply.
Cheers!

Thanks @elburns64 Sounds good 👍. If possible, post to YouTube so we can see it here. If not, no big deal.
We were just thinking of teaching this tune. -

Hey @gary524
This is be-you-tea-full. How did you make this?
What did you use for backing tracks? How did you add the reverb?
It would be fun other folks to get into this…Thanks!

The Fun Fiddle Practice Of Chaining
Here’s a practice technique called “Chaining”. The basic idea is to incrementally add to what you are practicing. You can slowly piece together notes to c […]-
Great lesson makes thing fun and makes the mind wonder into new music and growth…
-
Bro I wish this was earlier in the course! I’ve always struggled with putting the individual quarters together and with being too dependent on playing through from the very beginning (i.e., if I mess up I have to start all over). I will definitely use this technique!
-
Thank you so much. This is going to be very helpful in both this course and my private lessons. Learning a rather tricky piece right now, but applied chaining and it’s actually coming together.
-
That’s awesome. Denise. Thanks for giving insights on your experience with this. Simple practise tools that we can get familiar with and utilize wherever 🙂 🎶

-
This is suddenly a really hard tune out of the blue! Good thing I can read sharps and naturals – otherwise it would be a total loss without even a sound bite as a guide. I will keep at it though. Your lessons are really awesome and I am learning a lot.
-
Thanks for sharing, Catherine. Your motivation in the challenge is great to experience. Thanks for your interest in the program!
Simplifying more than I originally think or plan to always helps me with trickiness.

-
Neat…you sort of do that with piano, too, don’t you? Great stuff!
-
Hi Susieq, yes good point. Other instruments can work great with these types of exercises, like piano 🎹 Glad to hear you enjoy!

I like the chaining idea, especially as it relates to parts of a song. I tend to want to play the whole song without really paying attention to the parts. I find it easier to do with a song I am trying to learn rather than with plain scales.
-
Thanks for sharing these insights, Bill. Yea, a neat tool to utilize for deeper practise and gives a good alternate perspective to something in whole.

When practicing something difficult, see if you can break it down into a series of small, intermediate steps.

Here’s something fun you can do on the fiddle. Alternate between a constant note and other changing notes, always alternating back to open D. This is called a “pedal pattern”.

Hey @jameseke, good playing. Tone is full and you really hear the melody. It’ll be good to hear progress as you continue to practice this.
