That was groovy! The drum back up turned it from folk to funk – Loved it! Will have to learn that one

Wow! So much going on here. Great speed and tone, fourth finger workout, great string crossings and a little vibrato. What can’t you do!?

That was lovely Debbie! I haven’t heard that one before but love the double stops too. Something I don’t try enough. It’s inspiring to see you use them to such affect.

Thanks, Jason. I’m not sure if there is a particular method of choosing songs to play together in a set. Hope to see you post something with strum machine soon, Patty! It’s a great tool.

Nice embellishments, Joanne! Great Irish feel. I haven’t quite worked out the difference between a mordent and a roll yet – have to the Irish fiddle journey. Slides will be my next challenge though, because they are very cool!

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. I wish our time zones were more compatible for participating in group sessions, because they look so much fun. But it’…[Read more]

Thanks Debbie and Marg. I would like to create a harmony myself, but it was fun to hear it played together. It’s taken me a while to attempt vibrato without destroying the tune in the attempt. Certainly don’t feel in control or confident with my technique – I still tense up and grip the neck when I should relax my left hand. Then when I focus on…[Read more]

Can you do more or do have something on double stops and scales having problems with the fingering to make the chords not sure what to do to improve one thing I have other is how to get over muting the other strings while fingering to make the double stops can you help email if you can
Hi JD,
Here’s a lesson on chordal scales: https://staging.fiddlehed.com/chordal-scales-technique-lesson/
You need to place your fingers on the tips for most double stops so that you don’t put other strings.
I recommend you submit a video for feedback. Go here to do that: https://staging.fiddlehed.com/support/video-feedback-lessons/
You can email me if you still have questions.
cheers
