    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. Maybe it is a little stagnation. Keep going, drop the perfection, and play songs I l…[Read more]

    I’ve been playing a little over a year and a half, very consistently 30 minutes a day. I’m on 1.9 and have stayed there because I feel like I’m at a point in my learning where I need to really get the bowing, sound, and notes nailed down before advancing more in the lessons. I feel like it would be helpful to have someone see me play and say y…[Read more]

    Ginny replied to the topic Light touch on strings – issues in the forum Technique Questions 6 months, 4 weeks ago

    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. I am working on relaxing my body while playing, and I hope it will help lighten my touch on the strings. It’s helpful to me to focus my attention on that…[Read more]

    Ginny replied to the topic Third finger reach issue when playing low 2 in the forum Technique Questions 8 months, 2 weeks ago

    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

    Ginny replied to the topic Third finger reach issue when playing low 2 in the forum Technique Questions 1 year ago

    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.

    Ginny started the topic Third finger reach issue when playing low 2 in the forum Technique Questions 1 year ago

    Hi everyone, I’m on lesson 1.7 where we learn the low 2. I can get my 3rd finger reach accurately on the E string. But on the other strings I have to slide my fingers up slightly in order to reach the note for the 3rd finger after playing a low 2. I don’t want to create a bad habit. Is it okay to do that? Any ideas on how to correct this? Do…[Read more]

    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]

    Hello, someone mentioned downloading the practice songs so they could play them slower without the tempo speeding up. Does anyone know how to do that. I need to play the songs slowly and am constantly hitting the back arrow to start over. It would be nice to keep going and increase the tempo when I’m ready for it. Thanks.
