In this video I sing “Your Song” by Elton John and play backup on the fiddle. Then after the performance I explain what I did.
I’ve been learning to sing songs and play backup on the fiddle. Here are some […]

This was so interesting Jason, I learnt a lot from you explaining your creative process. The listening, finding the triads for the intro, chord back up rhythms, descending bass line, slides. All the building blocks we can play with to make a song backing. Thanks for another great lesson!

Playing on songs is a high water mark in the Fiddlehed program. This is the best explanation of playing along with a song ever!!!

Wow 🤩

When first taking on the task of writing about the history of the violin, I ignorantly assumed it would be an easy and straight-forward task which I would be able to write up within […]

My cousin was allowed to photograph the Amati 1649 and the Strad 1716 in person as part of a project to republish the book about Amati, in 1984. That was picked up by the car company that released an ‘Amati’, around 1991. Just some added trivia. Thanks for your work.

That sounds exciting!

This is a wonderful study. Thank you, Jim Guinn, for writing this and to you Jason for getting this out to us FiddleHeds.

My pleasure, Patty. I enjoy writing about the fiddle.

Jim! Hello – happy to be in touch with you again!
I was making some updates to my fiddle blog recently – thinking about you due to the comments and encouragement you left all those years back, and hoping you were still fiddling!
It makes me so happy to read this post and know you’re still at it – and a fascinating post it is, too! Thanks for all the research and work that went into it! Hope all is well!

Hey Aywren. I think I replied to you privately, but I am not sure it went through, so I will post my response here again.
So good to hear from you! Jason asked me about writing for Fiddlehed again, and I accepted his offer. My fiddling has been almost non-existent for the past year because of severe shoulder problems. I practice when I can, but I have fallen way behind. I am on the mend, but it has been a very slow process. I thought if I wrote for Jason, that might help me get back into the swing again. I told Jason I would write 6 articles over the next 12 months. I still love fiddle music,but playing it has been a real ordeal. I hope you are making good progress. If you should want to contact me directly, you (or anyone else) can use [email protected] So GOOD to hear from you, my friend!

What defines it? How many notes are there in a scale?
My simple definition: A scale is a group of notes used to practice a musical instrument.
It’s a series of small steps defined by a root note and […]

Can you do more or do have something on double stops and scales having problems with the fingering to make the chords not sure what to do to improve one thing I have other is how to get over muting the other strings while fingering to make the double stops can you help email if you can
-
Hi JD,
Here’s a lesson on chordal scales: https://fiddlehed.com/chordal-scales-technique-lesson/
You need to place your fingers on the tips for most double stops so that you don’t put other strings.I recommend you submit a video for feedback. Go here to do that: https://fiddlehed.com/support/video-feedback-lessons/
You can email me if you still have questions.
cheers

jason kleinberg replied to the topic Whiskey before breakfast…nervous newbie in the forum Student Videos 3 years, 11 months ago
Your tone and tuning is really good!
I would work on playing at a steady tempo. Play each quarter with a metronome. Loop at different speeds. Nothing too fast. Just go for steadiness. Eventually play the whole tune with a metronome.
Let me know how it goes: [email protected]
