Intermediate Group 5 years, 3 months agoJust checking this out. I’m meeting with two other fiddlers from the group lessons we’ve been doing on Saturday. IT’s been fun and instructive. I, too, am in eastern daylight savings. Mary

Ha ha yes it’s grim up North, the sun did come out later but so did the hail!
I am reading the tab on this one as I have only just learnt it this week. I don’t usually video myself until I’ve learnt it by heart but I just wanted to see how it sounded.
I did look at my fingers to begin with but have trained myself not to do this now because I…[Read more] -

Two years ago I bought a fiddle and started playing for the first time with the goal of having enough confidence to join a beginners jab session before my 40th birthday. About a year into lessons I injured I injured my shoulder and couldn’t play for nine months. I’m now back to practicing but sadly Covid means jam sessions won’t be starting up…[Read more]

From your accent, I’d say you are a two hundred miles north of me, so I’ll boast and say that our weather is wonderful at present!
@bluegrassgal, that is so good! You are one of my key inspiration figures, really.
When you are playing, are you reading the tab? It’s wonderful that you can play without looking at your fingers! I’m trying to get to…[Read more]

The weather has been dreadful today so I’ve decided to upload the latest tune I’ve been learning. I don’t think Jason teaches this one but I came across it on youtube and managed to write my own tab, so feeling a bit chuffed with myself. Not perfect yet but getting there ๐

Sounding good Tom, maybe you could try releasing the tension on your bow, I’ve noticed a lot of beginners have it quite tight, I was the same but just lately I have been playing with it a lot looser and I don’t know it seems easier to control. Experiment a bit and see what’s best for you.

Hey, I think you are playing with great gusto! I can’t remember where I heard or read this but it goes something like this, maybe it was Jason “the fiddle should be played with passion, go for the notes, don’t be afraid to make a noise” This has stuck in my head for some reason and I think you are on the right track. Keep going!

Super fun to play some back up fiddle with this amazing singer named @jongmadaliday from the Philippines who I found on TikTok 😻. Iโm kind of a noob at this, so still totally amazed that with a little bit of effo […]

Have you been playing for a while and noticed that the hair on your bow has a case of “bed head” and isn’t quite falling into line anymore? Or maybe a bow was gifted to you, but the hair has more gaps than […]
