  Wow, I have been practicing frozen in space, never moving. I didn’t realize it was ok to move a little bit to work with the strings. This has been very helpful (and my back thanks you!).

Thanks cynhrossi and Lindsey, you’re very kind. I tried this arrangement with friends playing flute, fiddle, banjo and guitar last weekend. We’re hoping to work it up to performance level along with other tunes we’re working on.

Wonderfully played, Joanne; congrats on a fine and fun performance!
Owen replied to the topic Liza Jane 1 in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 3 months ago

Great job, Debbie. I really enjoyed that one. Great tone, flow and double stops.
Lindsey replied to the topic Liza Jane 1 in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 3 months ago

Very nice, Debbie, lovely song.
Lindsey replied to the topic Out on the Ocean live performance in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 3 months ago

That was really lovely, the song and the playing, very well done. Cool electric violin too!
Lindsey replied to the topic Matty Groves by Marg. in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 3 months ago

Wow! I was impressed before I realized you did all of that. Great job, and I love your studio, so bright and cheerful.
cynhrossi replied to the topic Liza Jane 1 in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 3 months ago

Great job, Debbie! Love the sound of your fiddle! Loved your Drowsy Maggie, but for some reason, I could not respond to your video there to tell you.
cynhrossi replied to the topic Matty Groves by Marg. in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 3 months ago

I’ll second that WOW! This was wonderful! Love what you did here with the tracks! Your fiddle work is beautiful! Such talent! Thanks for sharing!

Are your string crossings sloppy? Do you unintentionally hit other strings as you play? Are the fingered notes a bit mushy?

If so, you’re not alone. These are common bowing pitfalls. In this lesson I’ll give y […]

  Hello Jason! Are all the bow hairs supposed to be flat on string? Or is it only part of the width of hairs hitting the string? I never know what to do or practice. New to Fiddlehed!

Thanks Joanne for your kind comments.
