Hey cbFidHed2020, thanks! I can’t attend office hours due to my work hours, but what I can do is post to the student video exchange which is right below this post. Imagine that, right under my nose, literally. Thank you, and I appreciate all the support on here. I’m going to work up my courage to post a video.

I really enjoyed that Dylan! You have a nice tone, and I loved all the double stops. I can see why that song inspired you, it’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing your playing.

Thanks to both of you. Jim, I do think posting a video for feedback would be good. Kvmceff, I love what you said, and I actually have started to do that since I posted, getting back to the songs I love, and just picking out some tunes I don’t have music for.

Hello AJ, you wrote this a while back, I hope you’re still on Fiddlehed. I am also working on this now. I’ve been playing for almost 1 1/2 years, so still very much working on technique.

Hi, and thanks. That does make sense. I think practice has made the stretch easier, and I could certainly focus on relaxing more. I appreciate your response! Ginny

Isn’t that something? And his feet just want to dance too. I wonder how old he was when he started playing. Thanks for sharing.

Addendum to above question. I can’t reach my third finger while my second finger is on low 2. But if I raise 2nd finger off the string, my third finger reaches. Is that a problem? It seems like it would slow me down. When I get to a level that I can play fast, that is.

Think I figured out the problem, I phone/ iPad doesn’t have those red arrows. Lol. On a better note, I have really been enjoying learning Scotland the Brave in 1.6. Thanks Jason!

I just found How to Download under the Contact/Help on the site. Thank you Jason!

Hi Blucy, I did notice that one one of the songs. I forget which one. I’ll have to start looking for that, as I’m still not finding a download option on the songs. I wonder if something has changed and the songs aren’t downloadable anymore. I’m not the best a technology, but have been trying to do this for a couple of days. Time to forget…[Read more]

Thank you so much! I’ll be trying that soon.

I also found this to be helpful. Thanks MoonShadows!

Thanks Blucy, will check that out.

I wondered about this too. Did you ever find out?

Moonshadows, thank you for posting your question, I had been wondering about that exact thing. I will try the looping WAY LONGER advice from Jason.
