Great to hear, Pat.
Yeah…wait till you get to lesson seven. I’ve played fiddle for over 40 years and she explained something which I knew but did not know I knew, don’t you know? She’s a great teacher. Many more lessons from Megan to follow…

Hi, Bowvalley.
This one will definitely be on Andre’s next session listing…we just need to find a way to get him down for another recording session! This pandemic is putting a wrench in travel!

Hi, Laurel.
Megan’s tune lesson performance tracks are out to the guitar player…I’d expect the first of those to be published in September. The production team is currently working on her technique tutorials, and most of those don’t require backing tracks…so I’d expect them to start hitting the website in the next couple of weeks.
All the best!

Awesome, Aysha. Sounds like you found your people!! I’m heading out myself for a week-long bluegrass jamming festival this coming weekend. There are great times to be had there! Good job jumping into some jams.
Thx for posting that video, Thistle. Megan just recorded an updated version of the same lesson to be published on this site shortly.

Casey Willis replied to the topic What fiddle tune are you learning on right now? in the forum Fiddle Lesson Forum 2 years, 10 months ago
Welcome, Mark. If you’re fiddling enough to annoy the neighbors, you’re doing something right! I see you’ve already picked a tune to start on, and I’d just encourage you to listen to the various performances and find those which feel a good match for your playing level and your stylistic leanings. Best of luck on Beaumont Rag, sir!

Hi, Brigette.
We did restructure how lessons are formatted about 6 months ago. We used to have separate pages for the performance, basic and advanced melody videos. The new format includes all videos in a single page. You can now move from performance, basic tutorial, and advanced tutorial from the same location now. Hopefully it makes…[Read more]

So cool to see the worldwide reach of this website and fiddling in general.

I’m fiddling on the wharf in Santa Cruz, Ca., when I can get out of the garage. Depending on which way the wind is blowing, I’ll sit behind the bait shop or across the parking lot viewing the boardwalk. Right now I’m trying to get more tunes memorized, I can’t just play Sailor’s hornpipe and Chicken reel all day….Mark

Good feedback, Aysha & Kitegal.
I believe Patti Kusturok plays with a Coda Joule…seems like a solid choice to me.
