Hi, Craig. Sorry for the confusion, sir. I’m referring to Hokum Bowing (I’ve also heard it referred to as the Double Shuffle). There are actually two lessons that might be helpful to you.

Emailed you, sir. Cheers!

Casey,

The audio for each lesson is outstanding and I was curious what sound gear is used. I am also wondering about the reverb and how you eq each session. Sound settings etc!

Thanks

Hi there – I’m new to the site, so firstly, thanks for putting this together: 24 hours in and I’ve already made noticeable improvement to my playing.

Along the same lines as the creator of this thread, I was wondering if anyone could suggest some traditional Ukrainian fiddle tutorials, or potential instructors in that genre for this site. There…[Read more]

Hi, Devanny.

I agree that we can definitely build out functionality in the future, whether on this site or via app. I agree that having a personal “bucket” to put your favorite tunes/tunes you are working on would be helpful.

We’re a way off from a site rebuild (I hope). That said, we are committed to leveraging technology to deliver the…[Read more]
