Thank you so much for the review. I forgot to turn the tv off before I played. Lol
I’m still working on it and I’m going to try to add a few notes like you said. When I get it a little smoother I’ll post an update.

Here’s a rough feedback video I (Jocelyn) m…[Read more]

Awesome playing, rhythm is really grooving, Joanne! Nice to have a second fiddle for that purpose 🙂

Great playing on this tune tune and The Blackest Crow Joanne, you make Sawmill Tuning look easy, but I imagine it takes quite a bit of practice. Looking forward to the workshop replay coming out so I can learn this technique. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

That sounded really good!

This is very much a work in progress but the resonance on this tune is lovely in this tuning

I’m working on another version of this tune with my 2nd fiddle tuned AEAE!

  Lisa, great playing~ I enjoy how you go through the scale, and then move right into the song seamlessly. Nice slurring aswell. The ending was beautiful, including your brief reflection 🙂

Hey folks in this group. We have a nice number of folks joined. What are people up to on the fiddle currently? Anything you want to get people’s feedback on, whether something your struggling with, learning, figuring out, new to, etc?
Anyone interested in forming a group that connects via zoom or similar platform?

I’m playing a lot in our campervan this year & had got a bit of a cramped up & lazy posture! I saw this post & looked at my left wrist position brought it forward so I’m back to using the fingertips straight down onto the strings & can hear straight away an improvement in sound much clearer & easier to play a bit faster too!

Loved it! Thanks, Deb.

Good job, Debbie‼️ Nicely put together and fun to listen to.
Debbie Hill replied to the topic Sandy Boys with prerecorded backup in the forum Student Videos 3 years ago

Jocelyn, yes, that’s me in the background. It’s a fun tune!
Debbie Hill replied to the topic Crossing to Ireland in the forum Student Videos 3 years ago

Thanks! I figured this out by listening over and over to the tune that I originally had on an old cassette tape! In the original the dynamics really add to the tune.

I love what you did with this tune, Debbie. Almost mournful darkness in that second part. I’m glad I found this!
Jocelyn Martens replied to the topic Carpenter bee in c sharp in the forum Student Videos 3 years ago

Hahah this is great! Neat to find music and tones in the moment

So sweet, Vera. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I currently use garage band to play duets with myself. It’s so enjoyable to do this 🙂
