Hi, Brad. I see that Patti Kusturok knows the tune…we’re looking to have her back to our studios in 2021…I’ll add it to her running request list.

Here’s a video of her playing the tune…

All the best!!

Thanks for the feedback, Delma…I’ll pass this along to Patti. Cheers!

Hi, Scovlan.

Patti did record a lesson covering The Red River Jig, but the guitar tracks for that tune haven’t been recorded as of yet. The lesson will be published in the future, once those tracks have been cut.

Hi, Kitegal.

Yes it looks like your message was blocked due to the links. I’ve published it, and you can see it at the bottom of this thread…cheers, and thanks for chiming in!

Hi, Bruce. Sounds like a good tune for Andre to tackle in his next session…We’ll add it to his list and he may choose to record it. Thanks!

Thanks, Kitegal. I have an instructor in mind for this tune…now if we could just get past this pandemic business so we could get them to the studios…!!

All the best.

Hi, Bowvally…we’ll put it on their request list. I’d imagine the first one who makes it back to the studio will record the lesson…fingers crossed we can get past this Covid soon!!

Hi, Grewill.

I’ll put that on our running request list for one of our instructors to consider recording in the future. Thanks!!

Hi, Cedar.

Are you asking how to loop a section of the video vs. repeating the whole video?

If you’re wanting to loop a section, just click the “AB” in the lower right hand section of the video player…that will open up a second play bar where you can drag the in and out points to the section you want to repeat. Alternatively, you can press…[Read more]

Hi, Brigitte, and thanks for subscribing! Happy to hear you’re enjoying membership!!

I took a look at that tune, and it seems to be a Celtic standard originally…I’ll pitch it to Kevin Burke and Hanneke Cassel…they may choose to record it! All the best!

Hi, Keapuolani!

Thanks for the vote of confidence…That’s such a great Scottish Air…I’d hate to step on Hanneke’s toes! And we are also in talks with another great Scottish instructor who might chose to record that one, so I’ll keep it on our list but probably defer to either Hanneke or the potential new Scottish instructor. All the best!!

Thanks for chiming in, Mabish…that’s exactly it!!

Hi, Sandra. I’ll add this to my running request list…we have Kevin in the studio next week and quite a backlog of lessons which need to be produced, but I’m sure I’ll make it back in to record before the year is out…I might end up recording this one.

Cheers!

Hi FiddlingViolinist.

Consider that tune added to Hanneke’s running request list…she may choose to teach it. We don’t have Hanneke scheduled to be in studio in 2020, but I’m sure she’ll be back at some point. Cheers!

C

Hi, Ringlets! Thanks for buying the CD, and I’m glad you like it! I need to cut a new one…just never enough time!

I’ll add The Bucks of Oranmore to Kevin’s list…he may know it/choose to teach it.

Cheers!

Hi, Rosie & Agnes.

Most irish reels are played at a fairly quick clip. Kevin seems to range betweein 104-110 BPM for his reels, and Niall between 110-120 BPM for his. If you’re looking for some ideas on how to speed up your playing of these Trad Irish fiddle tunes, you should definitely check out Kevin’s lesson How to Play Trad Irish Fiddle…[Read more]

Hi, Armin & Sara!

Consider these tunes added to the running list…Kevin may choose to teach them. Also – just to let you know we haven’t forgotten about your request for O’Carolan’s Concerto & Loftus Jones…those are still in Kevin’s queue for review, so hopefully they will be published soon!

C

Hi, Bre. You’re welcome for the slip jigs! We’ll add Hardiman the Fiddler to Kevin’s running request list…he may choose to record a lesson on that tune.

Rumor has it that Kevin may be back in our studios for his 7th recording session in late August/early September…stay tuned!
