Hi, Alan. Here you are, sir!

Hi, Patrick, and welcome!

Do you experience the above issue on the newer lessons (the ones on the first “All Lessons” page)? I wonder if it’s related to codecs used on some of the older lessons. Also, are you using Chome on a desktop/laptop device? Or a mobile device?

I’m happy to re-render specific videos…feel free to just email me at i…[Read more]

I have just joined fiddlevideo and am using Windows 10. I find the performance videos appear to play in sync but the basic and advanced tutorials that follow get increasingly out of sync as the video progresses.

“Calliope house”

I can see Hanneke playing that quite beautifully. Thanks.

Thanks Gordon. I’ll keep your experience in mind when I get my new hearing aids this week. And I agree – Fiddlevideo is excellent!

Yeah…that’s a great one! Swing is on the list to build out this site…it’s just a matter of time!!

I’ll mention this one to Niall when we get him back in the studio.

Thx for the great comment, SS!

Hi Andrea-
I have been wearing hearing aids for about 3 yrs. now. When I first tried fiddling with the
hearing aids in I would get a terrible sound in my ears. I wanted to continue wearing them so I
could hear other musicians speak when jamming or performing. My Audiologist finally got a program
from the hearing aid company to install…[Read more]

Hey Hanneke Lovers,

Great to hear of all your suggestions for Tunes and Techniques!

Sounds like your thirst for tunes is not being quenched but only is making you thirstier for the music. Keep up the good work and enthusiasm for fiddling. Cheers to all, RW

Wonderful Casey, thanks !!! 😉

S.

Yeah, S. Chopping as more than a 2/4 technique is fairly new to the fiddle lexicon…and I think Niall’s tutorials will get you well on your way to where you wish to go…

Thanks Casey,

I don’t know if there’s any difference between chop in Irish fiddling and Scottish fiddling, but my interest is really Scottish fiddling : if Niall’s tutorial works to learn how to chop, that’s great (he’s an amazing fiddler).

If Hanneke agrees to introduce chop in her tutorials, that will be fantastic.

Thanks again,
S.

Yes sir, UT. No guarantees that she will choose to record it, but she’ll at least see the request, sir.

Cheers, and fiddle on!

Thanks for the kind comments, Dwayne. Sounds like you received the Clark W. Griswold Jam of the Month award this Christmas…the gift that keeps on giving!!

Duly noted, sir…I’ll pass those on to H!

Hi again, SJ. I believe Niall recorded “The Mist Covered Mountains” in his sessions…Or Kevin did.

I think we actually have a couple of tunes to produce (one from Kevin and one from Niall)…both “The Mist on the Mountain” and “The Mist Covered Mountain”..maybe they’re the same tune and I’m getting confused, but I know we have at least one tune…[Read more]

Hi, SJ.

You’re in luck. Andre Brunet recorded that great tune during his Fiddlevideo sessions. I’ve asked the guitar player we have working on Andre’s stuff to prioritize recording the backup for LBC over other tunes. It may be a little bit, but your wish is granted…that tune will be taught on this site by an AMAZING player!!!

Cheers!!

Hi, S.

I’ll pass along the suggestions. Our newest instructor, Niall Murphy, is quite the accomplished chopper….we recorded 8-9 tutorials on the various types of chops that he does when he was in the studio. Those are nearer to the end of the production pipeline than way at the end…but it might be a little while before the whole series is…[Read more]

First of all. I love this website. Got the yearly subscription for a Christmas present. Some of the tunes I learned thus far from Hanneke ‘s lessons are “The Captain” and “For Reals” I would like to request Ides of March and Trip to Walden Pond, Passing Place, and if possible Dusky Meadow. Thanks Hanneke and Cassey!
