owneee61 started the topic fiddling on a trip in the forum Community 1 week ago
Hi All,
Took a trip from my home in Virginia to San Diego, home of my son, his wife and my two Grandboys. Decided to place my hard cased fiddle on the plane as baggage. I “think” I could have carried it under the seat as a “carry-on”, but I decided against that. All worked out well! I was away 8 days, and I played pretty much each day, usually…[Read more] -
owneee61 started the topic 6/8 jig tempo in the forum Technique Questions 1 month, 1 week ago
Hi all,
Been practicing Kesh Jig with double stops recently. When I use metronome, set to 6/8, six beats; it seems as if my top tempo is only 72, whereas in 4/4 time I am usually very comfortable at 80-92 tempo. I know the explanation is somewhere in music theory. Anyone have any suggestion or explanations?

I usually use one on my computer, and I have to turn it up real loud.

Video in the group Fall Practice Challenge Practicipants 1 month, 2 weeks agoWas strange Jason. Could not drop my video into the box, but I managed to drop my downloaded video onto a small music notation underneath the box and “Walla”!! Next time I try, I may be able to embed, as you instructred, but that night heavy rain degraded my satellite signal- I couldn’t get embedding to work that night. -

Sounds like you had trouble at first uploading but then you were able to do it. What did you do differently?

Fall Practice Challenge Practicipants 1 month, 3 weeks agoStruggled again with uploading. Video is uploaded to you tube, but embedding did not work fully due to our weather and satellite internet! My video is set so that only those with the link will see it, but so far I can’t embed the link to Fiddlehed. The ability to share videos is important, hope it works tomorrow. Not too much practice today, 20 min.

So, what are you working on during the Fall Practice Challenge? in the forum Fall Practice Challenge Practicipants 1 month, 3 weeks agoNice going castanu92!
Double stops sound pretty good. I hope my first video comes out nearly as well (once I figure how to do it with my Mac).
I have been on Fiddlehed for 2 yrs. in November. Thanks for the fine video. -

Yes hethbunt, I remember hitting an open string , as well as the note I intended. Make sure you allow yourself to enjoy the nice sounds you make, even if you need to slow down to get those sounds. -

Felicity, part of the SE is in a drought, Virginia and Tennessee included. Where are you? Glad you are enjoying playing!-
I’m in England and our area is having more rain than usual! Pity we can’t send over!

Fall Practice Challenge Practicipants 1 month, 3 weeks agoLast day with my Grandson in Tennessee; head home to Virginia tomorrow. To the zoo with the young lad today and then straight outside before dinner; Kerfunken Jig, Whiskey BB, Ashrokan Farewell, and Pete Seeger’s “Golden River”. Try to include somem double stops into the songs after practicing double stop scales.

Fall Practice Challenge Practicipants 1 month, 3 weeks agoPracticed 1st thing this morning, sitting outside, with a sweatshirt on. Fall is here in Tennessee! Played Kerfunken Jig and tried some double stops with it. Then just played double stops scale in D and G and changed from scales to just arbitrary double stops in a sort of melody. Then played WhiskeyBB, and Ashrokan Farewell. An hour passed, day 7.

Sitting outside playing sounds great! It’s raining here and has been for several days! At this rate I’ll be practicing as I swim!😆
