Hi Debbie – nope, checked mine and it’s apparently the same length, but yours looks much longer than mine. Cool playing though

Yep … practice is key indeed. Some months to go yet it seems ๐

Very haunting, especially with that echo

Debbie, how long is your bow? It looks massive

Excellent, do you bend your wrist to play vibrato. I shall be trying that very shortly. Oh, and your tone sounds really good.

Problem is I’m not sure that I want to play form sheet music Kate. It seems like a chore that will just take away from my fun of messing around with the fiddle really. I keep having a little go at it and reading it is ok, but turning what I see on a page into a position of a finger on a string … that’s not something I think I’m going to get. If…[Read more]

Really good job Leanne – your fingering is very fluent, or fluid … one of those, or perhaps both.

That’s very organised and a good cross over between tune names and music. I’m even more impressed that you can play from sheet music, I think that’s a hurdler I’ll never overcome if I’m honest.

Well that seems very complicated but great job with it. Some really nice sounds in there to my ear and I feel your pain with the ‘slowing it down’ thing. I find that slurring notes when I’m playing a tune just automatically speeds everything up. That middle part though, sounded great and some really good ornaments. … Brava Leanna

Go blues … I’m trying the same thing but I have some weird depth perception nonsense I think, because when I look at a video of me playing, I’m not even close to where I think I’m bowing.

Thanks Patty – I will look it up, but I’m afraid sheet music to me is like pearls before swine at this point ๐ …. Thanks for your kind comment too. Keeping on keeping on ๐

Great job Debbie … this is one I want to have a go at when I get my circular bowing something like consistent. Love the slides

Hi Leanna – did you upload the video to your own YouTube channel first?

Mike Reeve replied to the topic Josephin's Waltz in the forum Student Videos 3 years, 6 months ago
Hmmm – seems my comment didn’t take. This isn’t a tune I’ve ever heard before – you have a nice tone Patty. Do you read from sheet music or tabs? I honestly don’t see a time when I’ll ever be able to call my playing anything else but ‘practice’ ๐

Mike Reeve replied to the topic Day 6 cripple creek in the forum Student Videos 3 years, 6 months ago
Yep, getting better. Seems you have a similar ‘problem’ to me, in that you play quite fr down the strings. I also catch my bow on the knuckle of the body when I play the ‘E’ string and get that squeal too. I can’t seem to get myself playing nearer the bridge consistently. Getting better though – did the blues win?
