Brilliant lesson! Thanks Megan. This has really answered many of the questions that I have been mulling over for the past year. I used to learn classical, but actually didn’t touch the instrument for 20 years until one year ago when the lockdowns started. . Actually I was quite shocked that I could play anything at all when I picked it up. This site has been a godsend for me!
Thanks for the feedback, Michael! I’ve passed your kind comments along to Megan. I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying membership, sir!

Well, basically exactly what Casey said. I’m just so happy that you are reestablishing your relationship with the fiddle. There are many more tunes left to play and fun to be had! I’m grateful that I can be of assistance along the way.
Thanks for the video! This one has been a huge help.
Awesome, Jason. Glad to hear it was helpful, sir.
Yay! I’m delighted. Happy fiddling. : )
