That’s a real barn burner! Thanks for the suggestion I’ll pass it on to Casey.

Guillaume,
Thanks for your kind comments. This site has been very helpful for me as well.
I will make sure Casey gets your request for “Black and White Rag”.
That tune is a great request.
Either Casey or Megan would do a great job.
Thanks,
George

Thank you for the reply. I can work out a few pieces of it in key of A.

it’s a pageflip dragonfly (the only one that can be programmed) by default the small pedals (it has 4) are arrow left arrow right which are 10sec before or after
it’s great not having to use a hand to scroll back while learning aurali tunes from kevin burke!!!

keep us posted if you get a pedal too – I’ll look into the programing of it later!

Anton,

cheers!

Patti,
I’ve been investigating your question for the last couple of days. One would think that if you sign up for a Sound Cloud account you could gain the use of their playback tools. So I signed up for a free account but was unable to access enhanced controls. If you pay for the Sound Cloud subscription you may get speed control.
It appears C…[Read more]

Hello Casey and everybody, is r-there somewhere a list of keyboard shortcuts for playing, ab etc? many thanks

I’m revisiting the question posed in 2017, asking if there is now a way to change speeds on the SoundCloud Guitar backing tracks. It would really be helpful as I learn a tune, without having to use the “performance” track. Thanks

Thanks for the good info Tanya. I’ll be trying some of your suggestions. Do you know if there is a stretching exercise for this as well?

I don’t seem to have much issue with any other string. I have noticed too, I can play single notes better on the D, A or E strings after I have worked on doing double stops that included the G string. So at…[Read more]

Try experimenting with fiddle placement more towards the middle (scroll pointing forward) of your body instead
of the side. Experiment also with height. Make sure your fiddle isn’t pointing up too high but not down towards the floor either but maybe a little lower than level would help with getting the G string, that way you won’t have to raise…[Read more]

Philip, I’m helping Casey with site moderation. I’ll make sure he gets your request.
You’ve probably seen the Bill Monroe, Kenny Baker version on YouTube. Cool to see those guys sitting and jamming under a shade tree. Makes the tune more accessible.
