Hi, Sal. Yes – sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the lesson already posted. I will pitch more Paddy Fahey tunes to Kevin for future sessions…

Thanks for your support!

HI Sal, Yes that is a problem with the Paddy Fahey tunes, I just wish someone would number them. There are several Irish players that have written a lot of tunes and they are all called by the players name just like Paddy. One that comes to mind are the Sean Ryan Tunes, i.e. Sean Ryan’s Dream, Sean Ryan’s Reel, Sean Ryan’s whatever. Another name…[Read more]

Hi Casey,
Got your e-mail of March 25 and are you talking about Paddy Fahey’s jig that has already been posted? Paddy’s a funny guy, he’s written about 50 tunes and they’re all called
Paddy Fahey’s. I was hoping for a reel this time. Maybe in F or Bb.

You’re a great teacher Casey. I’ve learned things from you that I never thought I’d be able…[Read more]

Awesome, Bond! Glad to hear the feedback – just trying to stay on the cuttin edge here. We’re also working on providing more granular speed adjustments (10% per setting) this year. Stay tuned for those!

Hi Diana, Regarding the tune Lord of the Dance it is also known as Simple Gifts. I think YouTube would have most of those I mentioned with someone playing them. Have fun. Roland

Thank you so much. I will listen to these and start practicing!

Hi Diana,

Here are some of my favs for weddings.

Lord of the Dance
Montaigne Processional
Give Me Your Hand
Teardrop Waltz
The South Wind
O’Carolyns Concerto
Morgan Megan
The Butterfly

If you like Celtic tunes there are some beautiful O’Carolyn tunes.

Have fun, Roland

Thanks for chiming in, as always, Roland!

Hi, again, Sal. Just as a follow-up, we did record this tune during Kevin’s last visit. It is now available on the site, in case you haven’t seen it yet. Thanks!

Hey it’s really fun to see all these positive comments for the Looper and slow down video. This will certainly advance the learning curve for many of you and I’m very excited that this is offered on this site. I don’t know of any other sites with this technology. Fiddling is a very hard skill to learn so enhancements like this are just going to…[Read more]

Thanks, Shannon. I really appreciate that.

I’m hoping to have the rest of the lessons converted over by the end of this weekend.

Great job in increasing the usability of the website and helping us to do what we came here for – to learn all these songs. Thank you!

That’s hilarous, Dan! It is odd to slow down the videos…all of the little minor timing things that slip by at regular speed are painfully obvious when slowed down. And if I hit a note slightly out of tune, it stays that way for a long darn time till I fix it at .5 speed!

But you’re right; it’s pretty impressive at 1.5 or 2.0!!

Thanks for…[Read more]

It works on my iPad Air2 also. The only difference I see is when changing speed I have to hit the play arrow each time on my iPad, but on my laptop the speed automatically changes without having to hit the play arrow each time. All in all I believe this will really help me a lot. Thanx! And by the way Casey, you really scream on Jerusalem Ridge…[Read more]

Works great on my MacBook Pro. Haven’t tried it on my iPad yet. I must say that I am very impressed with Hanneke’s playing of Hector the Hero. She plays it just as well at 2x as she does at 1x! Impressive;)

I would love to learn it too. This is one of my favorites. Patty does it so well.

Nice, Diana. I’ll consider it for a future lesson!
