LOve the double stops. I’ll have to try that, too.

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. I hope you post a video soon.

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.

Great job. Love your determination.

Keep up the good work. This tune can be an earworn.

Practiced G scale two octaves. added variations of 123, 1,3,2,4,3,5,4,6,5,7,8.

Worked out bowing on Away in Manger in harmony section – slurs on eighth notes and down bow for effect.

Tried playing softly on harmony section.

Ran through entire piece twice with recorded accompaniment.

Need to cut my nails.

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.

Nicely done. I like the tune and the slides you added.
