Sounding really good.

Great bowing on this tune. So good with the beat.

Love Tobin’s Jig. Sounds good with the drone.

LOve the double stops. I’ll have to try that, too.

Thanks. I’ve been working on that fourth finger lately. It probably helps that I have played piano for years.
I’m enjoying using a slow jam backing tract for some bluegrass and old time tunes.
Enjoy the challenge.

Thank you, Marg! I try to focus on the positives, but my inner critic is extremely noisy. Jason does such a good job hammering home the message of celebrating small wins. I know my intonation has improved markedly since I began this journey. Some days are better than others….

I’m trying to speed up this gorgeous tune The Snowy Path. I’ve got a bit hooked on it over the last few weeks! I’m also trying to get to grips with my new electric fiddle. Currently only playing through husband’s bass amp until I decide on my own so it’s maybe a bit muddy sounding!

I decided to try to learn the Georgia Shuffle during this practice challenge. Lessons are in the Bowing Central pages in the Library section on the Fiddlehed site. So day 1 here goes!

Nice playing Michael, I thought your intonation was good too, and using the drone is so valuable. You have a feel for playing rhythmically too.:)
