Casey Willis replied to the topic Arthritis Tips in the forum Fiddling Techniques and Playing Advice 6 years, 7 months ago
Hi, Jim. I don’t have any advice specific to arthritis…perhaps @roland does??
The only thing I might suggest is stretching your hands/thumbs for 5 minutes before & after playing…I know that is a good idea in general, and I would think it would at least help some??
I feel your pain, sir…I’m a week out from having my left thumb ope…[Read more]

Hi, Johnny. Great tune.
Niall cut a lesson on that one…his lesson on The Gravel Walks is up next, but we’ll move Caliope up to be produced for him after that.
Stay tuned!

Casey Willis replied to the topic bowing in the forum Fiddling Techniques and Playing Advice 6 years, 8 months ago
Hi, Joey.
That’s totally normal to experience…have you taken a look at the basic and advanced bow hold videos on this site?? I lay out my approach in those, and they may be helpful in you finding the right balance between flexibility and stability:
Hope those help!!!

Casey Willis replied to the topic What's the difference between how Irish and Scottish Fiddlers play in a group? in the forum Fiddle Lesson Forum 6 years, 8 months ago
Good question PC and good info, Roland.
The only tidbit of info I might add is that I’ve heard Hanneke refer to a Ceilidh as a term used to describe a dance or musical party.
So I guess the distinction I took away was that a session is mainly musicians…a Ceilidh is musicians and dancers/partying. But I could be totally off on that…

Hi, Devanny.
You are correct…we have perhaps 20-30 more lessons from Kevin Burke which have been recorded already but not yet released.
The two you mention are high on the list to produce…as a matter of fact, let’s call them the next two to be released for K!
Bear with us as production takes a while for each lesson…but yep – you have t…[Read more]

Hi, Levins.
Thanks for the kind words.

Casey Willis replied to the topic Lonesome moonlight Waltz in the forum Fiddle Lesson Forum 6 years, 9 months ago
Heck yeah, DR…that’s a great tune. I’ve played on that tune for a while, but never really worked up a good version…might be time.
Another couple I’ve had my eyes on are Cairo Waltz and Mississippi Waltz. All in the same lonesome style…
We need to clear out a few items in our production queue…and then I think it’s probably time that I…[Read more]
