Great version and awesome double stops going on there! I’m so struggling with double stops :! But they sound really good, well done!

Very beautiful. Well done!

Thanks for posting, Mary, and Congratulations on your first public performance! Seems like a very challenging piece going into the upper hand position(s?) and switching to a backup track part way through. Well done!

Great job Michael! Nice string changes, tone, and intonation!

Thanks Kate, yes, it took a while for the metronome to catch up with me, ha ha! Or was is vice versa? 🙂

Well thanks guys! Regarding double stops, I kind of discovered them accidentally when I was learning the simple notes to “Down to the River to Pray”. I’m trying to do as Jason says and not mash the bow into the strings too hard to obtain the effect.

That’s really good for your first try. It’s a lovely tune to learn & play. It will be interesting to see you post again soon.

That’s a great version, well played!

Nice, Owen! That sounds like a lovely tune too.

Nice playing Kate!

Hey Keith that’s awesome! You got slides, double stops and shuffle bowing all going at the same time. Nice work – you are further down the ‘beginner’ path than me for sure – I have been struggling a lot with double stops. May I ask what practice strategies you use to help with double stops?

Lovely tune Owen, looks pretty challenging but you paced it well and I enjoyed listening! You just keep getting better and better, It’s been great to see your fiddle journey. Thanks for posting!

Cool version and variation to the one I’ve learnt. I definitely wouldn’t call you a beginner though!

Well done, Keith. I’m finding using the metronome a good discipline too. It’s a lovely song and you got the timing in the end. Sounded good.
