Thanks, Roland. I’m into the bluegrass scene here in PDX. Perhaps I’ll see you at a festival or other event one of these days 🙂

HI FR, Welcome to the site. I’m not from Portland but went to schools and grew up there. Great music in PDX these days. Have fun on the site. Roland

Thanks, Casey!

Awesome, Donna.

Bluegrass is a no-brainer add for the site 👍🏻

I’ll take a look at her site as I’ve not heard of her…it will likely be 2019 before I add a new instructor, but we’re lookin forward around here so thx for the suggestion!

Cheers, and thanks for joining the site!

Welcome, FR, from a fellow Oregonian!

Hi, Everyone: I just joined Fiddlevideo today. I’m in Portland, Oregon.

Hi, Casey: I’m new to the site and am enjoying your videos. I don’t know if she’s available or interested in teaching bluegrass fiddle on the site, but I’d recommend Annie Staninec. Her website is: http://www.anniestaninec.com She’s a phenomenal bluegrass fiddler and plays with the Kathy Kallick Band, among other groups.

Thx, Zale. Yeah, YT has changed things, hasn’t it??

I sometimes buy a CD when I attend a live performance or concert, or when I go to a workshop that I have enjoyed. But money is tight and Youtube provides most of my listening these days.

Yes, Great stuff. I’ve pretty much got it, but now comes the fun part…smoothing in out! Love those moving internal harmonies in the chords. That’s exactly what’s been missing from my playing. Very exciting to be doing it. Thanks.

You’re absolutely correct, the 7 note is right for that F# chord…I think I was thinking about the Bb note being the major third in the F# scale…forgot to mention the 7 note…and also to write it in the sheet music!!

Good catch, sir. Sounds like you’re really diving in. Good stuff!!
