FiddleHed Network

You’re right, Joanne, it is fantastic that we can get inspired and play along and try new things through this Fiddlehed forum. I’ve learnt so much by watching you all and it has motivated me to keep going and challenge myself.

Following up on my previous comment, I just spent an hour or so playing along with your track plus recording some back up chords!
