    Hey Charles,

    Stick with comments from other learning fiddler’s! Not bad at all, and smooth bowing for such a beginner. I think you are going to be quite good! It’s your journey, enjoy it; practice often and video once per month, sounds great!!

    Hey Tom,

    Way to jump right in! Playing in the lower octave G Scale is not easy; lots of third finger stretching. Very well done!

    Thank you, Mark. Brilliant would be the last word I’d ever use to describe my playing….but, I would call my desire to play quite high. A couple of years ago, with very limited talent, or bravery, I walked into a brewery where a fiddle jam was proceeding and managed to have a good time playing some simply back-up chords to some bluegrass tunes…[Read more]

    Hey Barbara,

    Yeah, this course is touted more as a journey, than as a book “to get thru.” Probably a good way to look at it. Sometimes everyone needs a journey to keep one “lively.” I took lessons for three months over 30 yrs. ago and dropped it as other things replaced that. Four years ago I saw the need, picked up my daughter’s violin and found…[Read more]

    Thank you NettieLynn. I do like Irish music. How long have you played the violin? And what kind of music do you favor?

    Well thanks Wendy. My arthritic fingers don’t always behave well, but I try, and I enjoy it. I hope you have fun playing and look forward to hearing you play too. I’m already in my fourth year of playing with Fiddlehed as my main training.

    Working in Irish Fiddle Journey’s Course. Just finished with Module 3. Really like it quite a bit. Maybe it “jostles” something in my ancestral roots.

      Hey thanks, Nick! I missed Sunday’s session as I had to work. Did you make and, if so, what was it like.

      Good job, Mary! Yeah, that is a long one, bravo! Particularly liked your fourth finger placement. Wish I had that kind of dexterity.

        Kate,
        Sounds great your playing with the Ukulele Club! Wish we could do that here, but Covid is still ravaging; sometimes as many as 4,000 deaths/day here in the US….
