HI, Andrew. Thanks for joining the community, sir.
It sounds like you are planning to start in exactly as I would recommend. I would first spend some really good practice time with the right and left hand technique videos. Use the exercises recommended in each left/right hand technique lesson. These will help you to re-learn some good techniques which create good playing habits.
To help put these techniques into practice, I’d pick a beginner to intermediate song that appeals to you and work up the basic melody. Work your way through a few of the basic melodies and really focus on your right/left hand techniques…this is important to get down before tackling some of the more difficult/advanced tunes.
You will really thank yourself for spending time with the technique videos before jumping into advanced tunes/licks. Best of luck, and remember that it takes time to master the fiddle…it’s a tricky beast to tame. Keep us posted, sir!
