You bet, man. I need three of me right now to get through all this material!

Thank you Casey!

Hi S, I understand your dilemma when it comes to groove. Keep trying I think you will get it and I see you’re quite dedicated and perseverance will get you to your goal. Keep up the good work. Roland

Hi Roland,

Thanks for your answer,

I totally get what you’re saying here : of course, fiddling music is not “frozen”. There’s no one way to do it but many and we have to explore, learn by ourselves for a big part.

However, i discovered, since i’m here on FV, that i made a lot of progress by taking the bowing and fingering of the instructors…[Read more]

HI Sabrina, Just thought I would chime in on your dilemma here if you don’t mind. I have consistently found that I cannot pick up the most intricate parts of some tunes no matter how hard I try. Over the years this has caused me much frustration not being able to decipher these difficult master gymnastic musician licks.

Hi Casey,

Soooo, i’m not more aware of what’s going on with Hanneke’s variation because i can slow down the tune and ear/see the notes that she plays but the problem is the bowing because she’s doing a shuffle (that the “groovy kind of lick where she rocks between A and E strings whilst aiming for a G natural” that you talk about on your…[Read more]

pretty awesome fellas

Thanks Casey for your answer,

I don’t have camera for skype because i don’t use it : it doesn’t work where i live (my internet connection is pretty slow since i live far from town).

I’ll try to figure out with mp3 file + slowing down the video performance. I will see my violin teacher next tuesday and i’ll show him the video.

I’ll let you know…[Read more]

I hear you, Sabrina. We’re in the middle of a great session with Niall Murphy right now, but when I get back to editing Kevin’s lessons, Soggy’s is right up towards the top!!

Hi, Sabrina. I hear what you’re talking about. It seems Hanneke does a groovy kind of lick where she rocks between A and E strings whilst aiming for a G natural (low second on E string)…and then resolved the whole lick to the A note (3rd finger on the E).

I would recommend putting the downloadable MP3 file on your phone or other device so you…[Read more]

Thank you Kevin and Ulla for bringing a new tune to the forum. I just checked on YouTube and see that there are a lot of postings for this tune. A few have done the 2 step version which sounds very Cajun and upbeat. Nice piece of music.

Thanks for sharing, Roland

Thank you Ulla. That’s it. Whoever transcribed this from the film doesn’t hear it exactly like I do but it’s basically the same tune. Go to YouTube and check out “Ella’s Waltz” It is a lovely scene.

This one?
