A good rule of thumb is to play everything at a medium speed, then a slow speed, then your fastest speed and then ending on a medium speed.

Thanks Marg and Joanne for your feedback. Always so much to improve on, bowing continues to be a big one for me, so really working on it. For some reason my comments never get posted so hopefully this gets through!

I’ve been trying to improve my tone. I felt that my left hand has been very muddy, so wanted to some how make it sing. I’ve been doing a lot of vibrato practice, looking at a range of YouTube techniques, mainly arm vibrato.

Strum Machine has a subscription cost but it’s not much I don’t think. Plays background to lots and lots of tune.

Great work, Great improvement on your tone and playing the notes fully. That’s what I love about videos everyone posts after a focus on practising. It’s inspiring. Thanks for posting.

Keep up the good work. This tune can be an earworn.

Working on Liberty as one in my Heritage Set (tunes my great-grandfather played in the hills of Kentucky). Got to memorize it next.

Glad you’re able to pick up the fiddle again! Sounds like you have a good plan. Double stops are doing my head in!

After being away recouping from surgery and physical restriction –

Reviewed tunes I had learned earlier – Rd to Lisdonverna, Sweet Beulah Land, Swallowtail Jig, Southwind, Soldier’s Joy – Level 2.
Enjoyed flipping through Jason’s Fiddlehed Tune Book and just playing again.

Well done, Mary! That was a great effort and I reckon you’ve improved so much from when you first posted. I get terrified by public performances and shake so much that I couldn’t do a solo like that.

Great version and awesome double stops going on there! I’m so struggling with double stops :! But they sound really good, well done!

Christmas carol played for our church worship service on Jan. 2, 2022. My first public offering of my fiddle music.

Lovely tune Owen, looks pretty challenging but you paced it well and I enjoyed listening! You just keep getting better and better, It’s been great to see your fiddle journey. Thanks for posting!
kate.kakadu replied to the topic Beginner attempt at Cluck Old Hen in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 5 months ago

Cool version and variation to the one I’ve learnt. I definitely wouldn’t call you a beginner though!
kate.kakadu replied to the topic My shaky attempt at Swallowtail Jig in the forum Student Videos 4 years, 5 months ago

Well done, Keith. I’m finding using the metronome a good discipline too. It’s a lovely song and you got the timing in the end. Sounded good.
