Thanks. The H3 finger reach on G and D strings is quite a stretch, especially the opening two notes, going straight up from G1 to GH3, while trying to keep the G1 still in place for a couple notes later!
I used the selfie camera on my 4-year-old Samsung S7 cell phone, set on a music stand, uploaded straight from the phone to YouTube. No tweaking…[Read more]

Well, I thought I would jump on board and try my first video upload to the Fiddlehed site. Here are three versions of Hector the Hero, in preparation for Online Lessons tomorrow: A-Major in lower octave (a bit rough – just started today); In upper octave (as taught in Fidlehed basic version); and upper octave with variations.

I play piano as well so I think that have given me an advantage. It gets better the longer I use it. Have noticed an improvement over just a little time. Thanks for the Session info on the tune. I love the history of tunes.

Have been amazed at my improvement using my pinky finger this week. It is getting stronger. Not there yet but it’s coming along nicely. Working on Hobart’s Transformation and Flop Eared Mule. Enjoyed transposing some older tunes into other keys. Great fun this fiddling stuff.

Good to hear this!

So, I’m learning how to bow separate one, slur three using Bile me cabbage down. How do I decide when to separate one, slur three, when to slur four (this seems like the best choice to me) and to just separate bows. I am finding it difficult to change the pattern I have already learned. Thanks .

Sounds like you are doing great. There are some pieces that I seem to move along better on with a bit of a swing to the tempo. I probably should put more thought to my bowing but I just sort of go with what feels comfortable. I’ve slowed some videos way down and scrutinized the bowing and they slur a lot. Lots of times when I try to b…
