What’s challenging? What’s going well?
If you’re serious about learning chord backup, then be sure to take the last Chord Backup Workshop I gave. In it I suggested you learn just three chords and then practice chord backup on 10-20 songs. Doing that prepares you to understand theory.
Next month we’ll do another workshop on chord backup on April…[Read more]

You’re on the right track, just by being aware of it.
And that analytical part of you is good. Just tell it to take a step back once in awhile so you can play. Then allow it to step forward and help you improve.

I’ve had this bad habit of raising my first finger in the air when I play fourth finger (pinky). I had a good teacher as a kid named Mrs. Osborn who tried to break the habit without breaking my love of music. I still do this. I don’t think it held me back too much. But now I want to try to re-train my hand. Let’s see if this old dog can learn a…[Read more]

Here’s a cool Irish reel called The Girl Who Broke My Heart. Gearing up for St. Paddy’s day ☘️. I love how the B part goes between G and F major. I played it with a G drone.

@fiddl3hed This Irish polka is a fun beginner tune. Noticing repetition makes it easier to learn: the 1st and 3rd quarters of the A part are the same. Same goes for the B part. And the 2nd and 4th quarter are the same for both parts. #fiddletok #violintok #violinlesson #fiddlelessons #irishfiddle

@fiddl3hed Here’s one of my favorite Irish reels call ed Tam Lin. There’s lots of fun string crossing in the A Part. Gearing up for St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ I have two lessons for this in my course, one is a basic lesson and the other you learn how to add variation. Let me know if you have any special requests for St. Patrick’s Day or lessons. #fiddletok#violintok#violinlesson#fiddlelessons#irishfiddle

This lesson was long overdue for FiddleHed. Simply learning to focus on individual motions can 10x your playing quickly. It also can be fun and physically enjoyable.
Great! I’ve been learning tunes by playing them over and over again trying to build up “speed” and wondering why I’m getting worn out and frustrated—I will take heed with what you stated here. Thanks, r.
