    Fiddling With Pink Moon Here’s a fiddle version of “Pink Moon” by Nick Drake. Liner notes On the surface it sounds like a simple folk song. But both the guitar strum pattern […]

      Wow, Jason, you have tremendous talent! It sounds awesome to me! And yes, it is ALL about not giving up! Isn’t that what we should all do in life…. Great job! I’d love to hear the piano part…

      I really enjoyed listening to this. Great job with the fiddle arrangement. I would be interested in learning an “untraditional song” perhaps a new fiddle journey. Thank you for keeping the new ideas flowing!

    The Dashboard, under Practice Toolkit. The Practice Journal tab opens alright, but when I click the ‘+’ icon nothing happens (actually the scrollbar at the side of the page disappears, so there might be some issue with that page?)

    Don’t Cry to Me
    – Blues-Grass version
    – work on arranging it
    – record
    Pink Moon
    – challenging to sing and play because the rhythm is hard
    – Looping on chunks
    – Alternating between singing and fiddling

    Thank you Debbie, this is brilliant! So much fun to play along with your video — makes my fiddling sound like music. Thanks for sharing.

    Time: about 90m
    What I did:
    -New melody in G Major pentatonic
    -“Blues-Grass”. version of Don’t Cry To Me
    -Do you realize song
    What went well:
    Good arranging ideas for 2 tunes. Lots of wandering but I recorded it so I can reference it later.
    Could use improvement:
    Singing technique…getting hoarse…maybe because I’m practicing late.

        Thanks for that Jocelyn!

        I will work through your suggestions over the next while. For the moment I have started experimenting with holding the fiddle in different positions and I’m surprised to notice how even minor changes can affect both the muscle strain and the playing itself positively or negatively. I also got a different shoulder rest…[Read more]

        Hi 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?
