Hi, Annie. Best to luck as you tackle those double stops. Not easy!

Thanks for the suggestions…consider them added to the running request list which is reviewed by the instructors prior to each recording session…I bet Patti knows that Calvin tune…she might choose to record it!

All the best!

I live in north eastern Kentucky near WV (90%) and Negros Oriental Philippines (10%). I sang and played bass and banjo in eastern KY’s first punkgrass supergroup Earth, Worm, &, Fire. Now I want to learn a new instrument.

Thanks for responding my my Lorena request, Roland. IAll I can do is tell you that on youtube the Bluestone Ramblers perform it as named. I have most of it now.

I’d love to see new…[Read more]

Going back a little ways, I would say Chubby Wise was one of the greatest. My other favorites are Richard Greene, Stuart Duncan and as of late, Patrick McAvinue. Also love Peter Ostroushko–he came to our little town and played a concert, and when I heard East Texas Waltz I decided to pick up my mother’s violin of which I knew nothing. That…[Read more]

Thanks Casey! You’re the best! -S

Sounds good, Shawn. Both of those lessons are now out for review to Hanneke…I think she’s overseas for a bit…

Hello!

Dusky Meadow’s and Jean’s Reel by Hanneke please! Thank you! -Shawn

Hi, Eddyfiddle.

For now, the easiest way to get back to a lesson you’re working on is to just bookmark/favorite that lesson page in your browser. You might also try the search bar in the main menu of all pages…that would be a quick way to sort based on title.

Hope that helps, and all the best!!

Cheers!
