This is wonderful, Kate! Really nicely done! Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed your harmonies and improv on the tune! Was that you singing?

Thanks Kate.

Fiddler’s Green is not on the Fiddlehed site, but it would be a great teaching tune either late beginner or early intermediate.
– Key of G major
– Fairly simple chord progression using G, C, D chords and one E minor
. E minor chord is (E-G-B). C chord is (C-E-G), so I used E-G double stop for both (G0-D1). Not sure if…[Read more]

That’s one that I will have to learn! Lovely tune!

Yes indeed, Joanne, You were one of the one’s who inspired me! The next thing I need to challenge myself is to attempt back up chords on the violin.
And Magpie, I’ve just created a fingerprint challenge that I will post somewhere when I work out how.

Lovely Kate!

Hi Kaz and Kate

Hi Kaz, Great to hear you’re playing everyday. I’m doing the practice challenge and aim to ‘fingerprint’ songs as Jason calls it, so I can play them from memory. I’m still learning how to play basic chords and should practice that more! I’ve also just discovered garage band and am having fun making some accompaniment tracks to play along with.…[Read more]
