I’m sorry. I came here hoping to refute the stupid “Golden Fiddle” that Johnny won in Charlie Daniles masterpiece “Devil Went Down To Georgia”. I was working on a punkgrass sequel to it in Johnny’s point of view complaining about the horrible acoustic qualities of that stupid lame “Golden Fiddle” I won off the devil.

I agree whole-heartedly with Mark. If he has completed any level of Suzuki I’m sure he’s way past me. It would be nice for Casey or possibly the instructor to assign a difficulty grade to their lessons. Just a suggestion. This site has proven to be a vast cornucopia of knowledge and learning.

I would like to be good enough to where I could discern a difference in a good bow or bad bow or good violin or bad. Currently I’m learning but the investment in a good fiddle is a tall jumping point for me.

I live in north eastern Kentucky near WV (90%) and Negros Oriental Philippines (10%). I sang and played bass and banjo in eastern KY’s first punkgrass supergroup Earth, Worm, &, Fire. Now I want to learn a new instrument.

I’ve been playing bass and writing songs for 35 years now so I grew to hate solos. I have been drawn to various online teachers. Lauren Douglas and Mitch Reed are good as are all the instructors on here but Niall Murphy and André Brunet are punk as hell. I hope this site helps me become the Johnny Ramone Of rhythm fiddle.
