I started to just bow and not worry about anything else , open strings just bowing right in the middle ,my tone got alot better

Well that seems very complicated but great job with it. Some really nice sounds in there to my ear and I feel your pain with the ‘slowing it down’ thing. I find that slurring notes when I’m playing a tune just automatically speeds everything up. That middle part though, sounded great and some really good ornaments. … Brava Leanna

Go blues … I’m trying the same thing but I have some weird depth perception nonsense I think, because when I look at a video of me playing, I’m not even close to where I think I’m bowing.

Thanks Patty – I will look it up, but I’m afraid sheet music to me is like pearls before swine at this point 🙂 …. Thanks for your kind comment too. Keeping on keeping on 😀

Nice!

Nice! Another student named Marge is also learning this tune…

Holy cats this is amazing!!!

Thanks, Mike… I appreciate your kind comments. I am working on my timing and accuracy with this one. I do read music; this is a tune on a cd by Alastair Fraser and Natalie Haan; look it up if you want to hear it done really, really amazingly cool. I do have the sheet music if you would like to learn it. I enjoy your posts too…. Happy Fiddling!

Yep blues won 2 in a row now, i am trying to stay right in the center with my bow or just over the board ,i seem to get a better resonating song there.

Thanks Mike!

Nice 4th finger work there Kate – something I want to start work on more.

wow .. .your fingers are far more nimble than mine Mary … nice job

Great job Debbie … this is one I want to have a go at when I get my circular bowing something like consistent. Love the slides

Hi Leanna – did you upload the video to your own YouTube channel first?

Hmmm – seems my comment didn’t take. This isn’t a tune I’ve ever heard before – you have a nice tone Patty. Do you read from sheet music or tabs? I honestly don’t see a time when I’ll ever be able to call my playing anything else but ‘practice’ 🙂

Yep, getting better. Seems you have a similar ‘problem’ to me, in that you play quite fr down the strings. I also catch my bow on the knuckle of the body when I play the ‘E’ string and get that squeal too. I can’t seem to get myself playing nearer the bridge consistently. Getting better though – did the blues win?

Thanks 🙂
