This is Day 14: increased to 138bpm. It was OK till I messed-up the ending!

Thank you both Carolyns. I like the term “lonesome sound”. I would love to be playing those tunes at some of those lonesome beaches and cliffs included in the video.
The vid of me was the first take, so I let the occasional flub go. That left more time for adding slides. I use Adobe Premiere Elements for editing videos, so it was actually not too…[Read more]

I’ve started using these techniques in my practice. Please consider doing a lesson on transposing to a minor key. I need some help with that one!
-
Good idea @debhill
Here’s a quickie lesson on how to do it.
-Play a major key tune.
-Play its major scale.
-Play the minor (Aeolian) scale (lower the third, sixth, seventh steps)
-Sub out those notes as they fall in the tune.Have fun…

Thanks for the help with the minor key transposition.

FiddleHed Group 1 Intermediate ( 3 members created during the first breakout group session) are practicing this tune, some suggested variants, and / eventually the variations with double stops, etc. It is quite fun and quite challenging! We are going to continue next week.
Thanks, Jason and team!!!!!-
Nice @sarahb,
I wanna hear what you guys come up with 🎻

Just finished watching the video. Excellent suggestions! Even though I’ve been playing flute, piano for decades (teach and perform both), practicing does seem like ‘work’ sometimes, especially now when we can’t play with live people -although we’re starting to see a light at the end… Yay! Now I’m going to try them out.🎶😊

Hey @hmk,
You can apply this creative practice approach to any instrument. Have fun 🕺🏾

Great tone from that beautiful fiddle.
-
Jason, You are awesome, and you make learning fiddle fun, and this video made me smile. Timing is my biggest challenge, so I will try the metronome…. Thank you! 🙂

Awesomeness
-
Thanks so much!! Some of these things I’ve done, but not all! I love your lessons!!
-
Love all these suggestions! Have done a lot of them, but I need to practice playing things way over there in the minor key more.
I’m sure you talk about this somewhere else, but I also love to swing the beat when I’m trying to wrap my head around a new tune… sometimes I just like them better that way anyway. -
the klezmer way is totally cool

Hey Tom, nice job. I like that mournful “droning lonesome sound” you evoke with your laments and the Raagini. It’s like a trip to the Isles. Love the photos! I’m sure it took some effort to put that together. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Carolyn! I never knew there were words to the tune & an alternative title. I’ll look it up.

Beginner Group 5 years, 1 month agoHi fiddle group. There is so much to get right in order to sound good isn’t there? I found a luthier to set up my violin correctly and that has made a huge difference. How are you getting on?
