Hi, Ency. I like the request. However, that would require re exporting, re-rendering, reconverting, and re-uploading all lesson content. Since each video would require a significant number of man hours to address, I won’t be able to address at this time. I hope you understand. Thanks!!

Hi, Kristopher. Thanks! Can’t believe that’s been out there! Good find, sir. I fixed it.

Looks like the The Promenade basic melody tutorial actually has the advanced tutorial on it. Could someone have a look?

The Promenade Basic Melody Tutorial

Hi…wonderful tune intro and my one thought is this…could the intro be on just the performance video and not the teaching videos as well? I find my self having to scoot the curser ahead of the intro music each time I am using the teaching video (in order to get to the tune I want to learn) to not continually repeat the intro music.

Sounds good Casey. I look forward to the lesson on “Double Stops”

Good tip, Amy.

Hi there, sir. I like that idea. I’ll need to do some studio prep prior to Patti K showing up for her session…I might just take you up on your suggestion to record a short tutorial on double stops. And I wholeheartedly agree with Roland – Mando is a great way to learn shapes and build your muscle memory if you’re just getting into double…[Read more]

Thanks for the tip. I’ll check out a mandolin chord chart book. but in the meantime, I’ll keep going at it one measure at a time, one double stop at a time. If it was easy it wouldn’t be as rewarding right?

Hi Bondi, I know Casey will chime in with you on this but I can say that double stops are a lot of fun and they really make the fiddle ring. Casey has some beautiful double stops in Lovers Waltz so I won’t try to answer your questions on that. But one thing I’ve learned over the years is when starting to learn double stops begin by using the open…[Read more]

Thank you, Roland!

Sounds good, Shannon. I’ll email you MusicXML files in the next few days.

Thank you, Casey 🙂

Thanks Casey!

Any possibility of a PDF? Here’s instructions on how: http://www.finalemusic.com/UserManuals/Finale2012Win/Content/Finale/Adobe_PDF_documents1.htm

I would love for Limerock and I don’t love nobody, whatever format 🙂

Thank you, Casey!

Thanks, Casey!

Hey again, Rosie. That is, indeed, a song I used to love to play. I’d forgotten how it went! If Patti doesn’t choose this tune in March when we record, I’ll teach it myself. It’s a great tune, just waiting for a bunch of double stops, right??

Thanks for the suggestions.

Keep them coming, folks!

Here’s the link from Patti’s 365 day project:

Hi, Rosie. Thanks for the suggestions…I’ll get them to Patti before we make final selections.

Can you post a link to Black Velvet Waltz? I’m wondering if it might be the same as “Velvet Waltz”, which I use to play years ago.
