Thanks. I’ve been working on that fourth finger lately. It probably helps that I have played piano for years.
I’m enjoying using a slow jam backing tract for some bluegrass and old time tunes.
Enjoy the challenge. -

Thanks for you comment. I’m trying to learn to make the fiddle “sing” and not sound so practiced. When playing the fiddle, there’s so much to think about it.

Thanks. I found it wandering around the web one day. A Scottish composer wrote to honor a group of Oregon fiddlers. Isn’t that cool?

Strum Machine has a subscription cost but it’s not much I don’t think. Plays background to lots and lots of tune.

Learning this for participation in our local jam session. Still needs more work. Got to get the Es in tune – a big stretch from the lower E to the upper E.

Love this on the fiddle. I’m going to give you the same advice a fiddler recently gave me. “You got to play louder.” I am very timid with the fiddle but I’m trying to make big sound these days.
Keep up the good work.
