Beautiful sounding fiddle, Jo! It has a deep voice. Reminds me of two old fiddles I found a few years ago. One was German and the other was Czech. Deep throated sound. Can you play the fiddle both left- and right-handed?
Thanks for sharing! Always interested in this journey.

Thanks Carolyn. I’m still trying to work out what is too much, or just enough accompaniment. At the moment I’m just copying from the original, but am getting more confident to deviate a little now and again.

Fantastic, Carolyn! And you’re doing double stops at that speed! Very inspiring challenge – thanks for posting

Well done, Joanne! It’s a very good discipline to practice with the metronome and drum beats. I need to do more of it with the songs I’ve learnt. I seem to get to a certain speed and then everything falls apart!

Thanks Joanne! I’m getting used to it and am still a bit squeaky. I just realised that I made my backing track very loud in comparison, so apologies to listeners for that!

I’ve just bought myself a full size electric violin and am very excited moving up from the 3/4 I’ve been playing. I’ve joined the local ukelele club and have my first public gig with them coming up, so really want to get my accompaniment right. They do their own version of Fisherman’s Blues and I loved the solo that Jason taught, so I thought…[Read more]

Well done James! I need to do a lot more practice. Oh I wish I could do double stops without strangling my fiddle!

Impressive, Jo! What great progress! Thanks for sharing this….it’s so helpful to see how others do this! Just learning to follow that metronome is challenging and you’ve got it!

Wonderful, James! Loved hearing your strong melody and those double-stops! Nice….thanks for sharing!

Tom, those were positively beautiful! Love those laments and those slower, mournful sounding tunes. You are an inspiration!! Loved the medley — some of my most favorite tunes! Thanks again for sharing!

Here’s something fun you can do on the fiddle. Alternate between a constant note and other changing notes, always alternating back to open D. This is called a “pedal pattern”.
Here’s a basic pedal pat […]

Hey @jameseke, good playing. Tone is full and you really hear the melody. It’ll be good to hear progress as you continue to practice this.

Love this! I need to work on some slow tunes and you have inspired me to do that, thanks.

I’ve started using these techniques in my practice. Please consider doing a lesson on transposing to a minor key. I need some help with that one!
-
Good idea @debhill
Here’s a quickie lesson on how to do it.
-Play a major key tune.
-Play its major scale.
-Play the minor (Aeolian) scale (lower the third, sixth, seventh steps)
-Sub out those notes as they fall in the tune.Have fun…

Thanks for the help with the minor key transposition.

FiddleHed Group 1 Intermediate ( 3 members created during the first breakout group session) are practicing this tune, some suggested variants, and / eventually the variations with double stops, etc. It is quite fun and quite challenging! We are going to continue next week.
Thanks, Jason and team!!!!!-
Nice @sarahb,
I wanna hear what you guys come up with 🎻

Just finished watching the video. Excellent suggestions! Even though I’ve been playing flute, piano for decades (teach and perform both), practicing does seem like ‘work’ sometimes, especially now when we can’t play with live people -although we’re starting to see a light at the end… Yay! Now I’m going to try them out.🎶😊

Hey @hmk,
You can apply this creative practice approach to any instrument. Have fun 🕺🏾

Great tone from that beautiful fiddle.
-
Jason, You are awesome, and you make learning fiddle fun, and this video made me smile. Timing is my biggest challenge, so I will try the metronome…. Thank you! 🙂
-
Awesomeness
-
Thanks so much!! Some of these things I’ve done, but not all! I love your lessons!!
-
Love all these suggestions! Have done a lot of them, but I need to practice playing things way over there in the minor key more.
I’m sure you talk about this somewhere else, but I also love to swing the beat when I’m trying to wrap my head around a new tune… sometimes I just like them better that way anyway. -
the klezmer way is totally cool

Jason, I love the sound of the new tune “To You….” very hypnotic it reminds me a bit of Sigur Ros.

Thanks @joanneiles
I’m a big fan of Sigur Ros.

The clip of your song is quite nice. Thank goodness you moved through or around the roadblocks to its creation and completion.

Very, very pretty song ” To You (and everyone else wandering in the world.)”

thanks Owen 🙂

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi Jason, what a lovely relaxed vibe. It’s unmistakably you; light fiddle and drone/indian music drone box thingy. It’s a hit!

Wow! Now I want to learn the banjo too! It sounded really good and I think you should also do a lesson on how you did the video – It’s a great idea to create your own accompaniment. Thanks for posting!

Good exercise!!! Good for intonation practice too.
