I know a lot of you record yourself with audio or video. This a great way to get immediate feedback on your playing.
I want to briefly suggest a way to up the ante.
Record yourself playing with a play-along track or metronome.
There’s a lot of options for doing this. But here’s a super simple way two get started: the Two-Device Method.
Simply play…[Read more] -

Things I'm Grateful For – November 2023 ‘Tis the week before Thanksgiving, maybe my favorite holiday. So much so that I try to celebrate it every day in a small way. I make a short list of things […]

My first fiddle teacher, Del Bassett, recently passed at the golden age of 90. I am so grateful to have had him as a teacher and a friend. He taught me much about “Faith, Family, and Fiddle” in that order.
Grateful for my wife Ann, two fabulous stepdaughters, Caitlin and Kyah, and two “fabulouser” granddaughters, Amelia, and Eleanor.
Just turned 70 myself, and besides the aches and pains of arthritis in my hips, fingers, and shoulders, I am in good health.
Grateful for the knowledge of Jason. Learning so much more! -
I am so grateful to live in such a beautiful place – the Pacific Northwest. Grateful to have raised two healthy children with a loving partner. Grateful to have found the Fiddlehed community and to be having such fun learning music. Thank you everyone for sharing!

PNW is so magical – we got to spend a year of Vanlife in Oregon 2019 🪄✨🌟✨🌟✨🌟

Grateful for my health today and that despite many joint issues, I can still play fiddle and participate in Fiddlehed, Strung Alongs and with some friend musicians. Grateful for my kids and grandkids and that I can travel to visit them. I love the State and National parks here in Virginia, where I love to wander and I’m grateful for that. Grateful that a puppy may soon be in my future.

Owen- I just said this morning we have to go back to Galax Rails to Trails 💖💖💖 we are in Pisgah Forest NC

Hi Jason!
I am grateful for Fiddlehed, and all babies, including your beautiful daughter and my 1 year old granddaughter Johanna, who brings such joy into her every day! I am grateful for my dog, who gets me out in nature every day, and shares his playfulness and joy with me. I live near the ocean, so I am grateful for the two beaches near me, and also for meditation, family, and musical friends, and of course – so grateful for music!
Re: your back – my physio told me to set my alarm for every hour to get up and move – stretch, touch your toes (knees bent), do some yoga. And thanks, Vicki – I will be checking out those “Jen Hilman lower back” videos too!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! -
Everyday there is so much to be thankful for, I love your “categories”–
Family, all the love even with the challenges
Health–my fingers mostly still work! Grateful for my Jeanne doctor
Music–my medicine for living
Teachers–yes, Thich Naht Hahn taught me how to breathe
Mr. Graubard taught me how to learn
My children taught me about myself
My bees taught me how to move slow
My students have brought me joy
Friends–where would I be without them?
Water, Sun, Clean air
Thank you, Jason! -
I’m grateful for my husband of 14 1/2 years and that he’s willing to be get involved with my music. I’m grateful for my church and church family. I’m grateful for where I live in the beautiful PNW and my warm cozy home. I’m also grateful for Fiddlehed and how I’ve improved since getting involved. 😌

Counting our blessings every day, it is even important as playing every day.
I am grateful that I have the chance to help people in my job as a pharmacist
But even more when I can recharge by playing music
and that I can enjoy the fun lessons of Fiddlehed.
And there are still many small and big things that I am grateful for
Sometimes we just forget how lucky we are
Grateful to take some time to think about it again
So big thanks!!
( also to google translate 😉 ) -
Right up there on a list too long to share are my strung along fiddle friends and the fiddlehed community!

Hey Jason. I am thankful for this great season in my life. My home, marriage, kids, and finally having time for my music. This includes how much I am learning from Fiddlehed!!! I am an intermediate player but have been going through the beginner lessons to pick up things I missed before. So amazingly helpful!
I have joined some jam sessions with my mandolin and working up to bringing my fiddle. Just about ready for that.
Thankful! -
HI Jas’n, so happy to see your lovely family and glad that your sweet Veda is doing so well. Your kindness and sharing of the fiddle has always been appreciated, you are the best, bar none, teacher of this music. I signed up last May, and summer was a rush, so I wanted to practice but put it aside for just a “bit”. I am so grateful that you are helping all of us learn to understand and play the fiddle. And I am grateful for the joy that I feel when I practice. Also I am forever grateful for my loving and supportive hubby, for our darling SpoilerKat, for enjoying this most wonderful life .. sunshine, greenhouse, growing plants, walking in the sun, Plus, grateful that I am going to plant more garlic in the greenhouse before the frost arrives.
