owneee61 started the topic Problem with playing the MP-3 play-along tunes in the forum FiddleHed Improvement Society 3 months ago
Hello all,
For about one month I have had great difficulty playing Fiddlehed MP-3 tracks, which includes all play-alongs as well as practice exercises. The tunes coming through on You Tube are fine, so I get the lessons on new tunes. IO have a Mac pro Book that I have had for years. It uses Quick Time Player for AV. I tried to change to VLC to no…[Read more]

All,
I get the sense that a lot of people are practicing. I am too. My hope for the new year is that the sense of community grows here at Fiddlehed. It does fill a need.
So here, from Virginia I wish all a Happy and Prosperous New Year, as well!

I don’t consider myself a talented student either, but I am on my second violin; the one I play now having a much better sound. I’m sure you’ve noticed that “sound” element already Art. But, I do remember a book I read in my 20’s about bicycling, “Anybody’s Bike Book,” in which the author stated the three things necessary to choose a good bicycle;…[Read more]

owneee61 started the topic fiddling on a trip in the forum Chatting On The Porch 7 months, 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 8 months, 2 weeks 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 8 months, 3 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 8 months, 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 8 months, 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. - Load More
