      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 🙂

      Very haunting, especially with that echo

      Debbie, how long is your bow? It looks massive

      Excellent, so 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 from 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 I’d started 20 years ago I would have learned it, but I really am impressed with people who can do it 🙂

      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

      Nice 4th finger work there Kate – something I want to start work on more.

      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?

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

      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 🙂 …. Thanks for your kind comment too. Keeping on keeping on 😀
