Great video lesson on learning hoe play “Double Stops!” This is going to make a lot of us want-a-bee fiddle players who’ve been struggling with this technique very happy.
Thank you Casey!
Casey,
In the double stop technique video on page 6 what is the name of the waltz you are playing at the 25.54 mark of the video.
You say a beautiful waltz in the key of B flat, but I can’t tell if that is the name of the waltz or you just mean it is a beautiful waltz. I can’t find any tune by that name.
Hi, Kenny. Sounds like you’re still getting lots from the lessons, sir. That’s a great tune called Carnival Waltz. I recently recorded a lesson on the tune:
Carnival Waltz
All the best…that’s a finger twister!

Thank you Casey,
I don’t know how anyone could not get there money’s worth if they are serious about practicing.
The hard part is transitioning to jams and playing with others.
I joined the site hoping to learn more double stops and how to move in and out of 3rd position.
You have met all my needs and more in providing these in the lessons.
Thank you
Casey
Thanks for these kind comments, Kenny! I’m glad to hear you’re getting what you hoped for out of these lessons…keep up the good work and all the best, sir!

Hi Kenny, I sure agree with you on the quality of Casey’s lessons and chops…all the elements that make great music, with melody, rhythm and groove. Excited to hear you’re making progress. Best, Roland Forum Moderator
