Hanneke was interested in recording Bog an along with another tune it is paired with, Regis.

I’ll pass It along, Regis. Thanks!!

We updated our website coding today to provide more granular video playback speed controls. This update was in response to Chuck, in this thread.

You can now adjust the playback speed of lesson videos by .1 increments. This should really help those folks who are playing along with performance videos. Let us know if you have any issues by…[Read more]

Hi, JWHITT5. I think I can help you out. I’ll PM you with details. I do have plans to eventually embed links to download backing tracks, but my focus right now is on editing and producing about 70 new full lessons from Kevin, Hanneke, and our newest teacher, Patti Kusturok. So I can’t commmit to a time frame for this feature, sir. I hope you…[Read more]

Thanks, Carole. This project has been a lot of work, and it’s really nice to hear that. But I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t enjoy the process.

I’m kind of leaning towards more trad selections as well, but Hanneke is such a great composer that a lot of the requests she is receiving from her fan base are for originals…I hope to do a good…[Read more]

An update, folks. Based on Chuck’s request above, we’ve been working with the development team to get more granular speed adjustments in place on the site. This enhancement will allow you to slowly work up to playing at performance speed.

To do that, we’re pulling the feature down for a day so we can get the new coding going.

Please stay tuned…[Read more]

Alright, Ron and Ulla. I’ve added these suggestions to the growing list…

Awesome feedback, Diane. Much appreciated. Hanneke is somewhere down in CA right now for a fiddle camp.

I’ve added your request to the list. We’ll see if she chooses to record that one!

Thanks!

Hi, Daedalusfall. Roland is right: I came up with those first four bars and Hanneke wrote and performs the tune you hear at the outro.

Search “Glass Case” on this site…that’s the tune playing on the outro. Thanks!!

Hi, Edward. Do you happen to have a link to the song online somewhere?

I will pass your question along to Kevin, including a link, if you can find one. Kevin is touring currently, but I’ll pass his response along when he does get a chance to opine. Thanks!!

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!

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!

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!

Thanks, Shannon. I really appreciate that.

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

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]
