Beginner Group 3 years, 3 months agoDoing a review of first level tunes I discover that Little Liza Jane was way way too fast. Even now that I’ve been here several months I find the last part of the play-along track too fast. Anybody else?
-
Thanks for sharing Margaret. Yes it’s quite fast. I tried to thumb strum it with fiddle in guitar position and that helped at bit. Way to try it tho, and yes, other folks have expressed similar. That’s great you’ve worked your speed to the last section of that recording. The speed will come in time. I remind myself, smaller movements and…

Advanced Beginner Group 3 years, 3 months agoHello folks,
Two days ago I joined this group. I kind of expected a “Hello and Welcome”. I know I didn’t get a greeting when I joined the beginner group and I admit I was a bit puzzled. What sort of culture is this I wondered. It used to be, during better times I guess, that when you sort of hung around a group for a bit somebody, generally…[Read more]-
Hey Margaret,
This is a lovely sharing. I fully agree this is what would be ideal! As it stands, these groups are fully functioning by those who utilize it. It would be good to see more activity and interaction, that’s what we’re here for 🙂
Are you currently in any groups that meet, whether in person or online? This is a great space to…

Advanced Beginner Group 3 years, 3 months agoHey, Advanced Beginners! I just wanted to check in with everyone. For unknown reasons, I hit a slump in my fiddle practice in the last week. It hasn’t always felt fun, and I sounded worse to my own ear, and missed too many days too! Having said that, I’ll miss the next 3 weeks of our Monday meetings, because my husband and I leave on trip to…[Read more]

Shucks – I’m sorry I missed it. Our school days were extended due to an abundance of snow days in December and it’s been busy. I can’t make the next one either 🙁 because of the school schedule. Darn! Are you all practicing a specific song?
-
No specific song, Elise, but you might want to be ready to play one or two in a round robin.

Old-time & Bluegrass Group 3 years, 4 months agoHow many here are interested in old time?
-
I have to admit that I don’t really know the difference! I just googled so now I have a dictionary definition, but I sure couldn’t listen to a tune and know which one it is. Would you mind sharing a couple good Old Time tunes that you like?
-
Hi Elise, well the difference between the two is very big, although they both have similar roots. A couple of my favorite old time tunes are Hangman’s Reel and Shove That Pigs Foot a Little Further into the Fire (quite a title, right?) Here is a link to a You Tube video that will explain the differeces way better than I can in this short…

Me : )
I enjoy listening to bluegrass, but enjoy playing old-time.
-
I prefer Old-Time, but have to learn bluegrass so I can participate in local jams. Locally, I have not found much in the Old-time style. I am in the Knoxville, TN area. If anyone else is in this are and interested in getting together to play, let me know.
