Hi, my name is Gail, I needed something to focus on after the death of my husband and my daughter. First challenge was to learn to read the notes. I have been trying to teach myself thru books with cds in them. I really enjoy playing, and really want to improve and learn some of the techniques that just really make a tune sound better, and hopefully get more confident in my playing. I have been working on trying to memorize some tunes to be able to at some point join in a few fiddle jams that are in my area.
I have a few tunes already on the site here that I want to start to work on later tonite.
I can’t wait to get started!
Hi, Gail, and welcome! Sorry to hear of your losses, but happy you stumbled on our site as a resource.
Pick a few good tunes and dive into lessons. Fiddle is a really tough instrument, so don’t get discouraged. It takes a bunch of practice and more importantly TIME for it all to click.
I’ll be excited to hear of your progress…keep us posted!
Thank you for the welcome Casey, actually I have been this evening working on the tune Jerusalem Ridge, Im taking a section at a time, I like this tune a lot, but I think the last part is going to take a lot of practice. I’m going to try to track my own progress by using my webcam. I think that will be fun if I do it each week, so I can actually see any progress being made.
