I don’t generally loosen strings…and I never allow my fiddle to be put underneath the plane.

Hey, Singalong.
I haven’t received any feedback yet related to André’s footwork lessons….that said, I can’t talk or do much of anything else when I’m playing fiddle…so I have a feeling that you almost need to develop the footwork separately as a skill that requires no active thought…then add it in.
I think that if both the footwork…[Read more]

That’s a great answer….practice the footwork enough so that it is subconscious effort. I will go with that. Knowing my focus is limited as well, because most tunes takes every ounce of attention I can give, this will be a challenge. For sure, I owe you a lesson if I ever get this down………Thank you for your quick and appropriate response, Casey!

Thanks, Sabrina. Yep – I’ll try to cut a duet each time we have an artist in the studio. Good stuff!!

Hi, Craig. Sorry for the confusion, sir. I’m referring to Hokum Bowing (I’ve also heard it referred to as the Double Shuffle). There are actually two lessons that might be helpful to you.
I didn’t think about the fact that the lessons are titled using the other term for the technique…I’ll update the descriptions in those lesson pages so…[Read more]

Casey Willis replied to the topic App idea?? in the forum General Fiddle Forum Topics 6 years, 10 months ago
Hi, Devanny.
I agree that we can definitely build out functionality in the future, whether on this site or via app. I agree that having a personal “bucket” to put your favorite tunes/tunes you are working on would be helpful.
We’re a way off from a site rebuild (I hope). That said, we are committed to leveraging technology to deliver the…[Read more]
