Hi Ringlets, Last session our music peeps did was on Leap day 2020 in February right before it blew up with virus. I was going to try for a Solstice Session but our State spiked so we cancelled it. I did play with one guitar buddy but to make up for it I’m back to playing everyday and have a new batch of tunes I’m working on. Thanks for chiming in…[Read more]

What a wonderful Trove of Fiddle tunes added to the collection. High volume outpouring of tunes lads. Can’t wait to hear them now. Thanks Casey and Kevin. Roland Forum Moderator

Hey Casey, Two of my fav Texas Tunes. Thanks for working on those. Roland

Beautiful Tunes you guys, also saw you on FB, Keep up the great music. Roland

Hi Casey, Always good to hear that Master Kevin Burke is creating more lessons. I know he already has plenty to choose from so I’m hoping he would like to do Loftus Jones. BTW Site is awesome with added enhancements and new lessons. Thanks, Roland

Hi Mark, I’m sure Casey will get back to you on that if its possible to do. But some tunes may be hard for one person but not for another.

I do have a recommendation to get you going though, and that is try to learn the tunes that are catchy to your ear and likable. Its much easier to learn a tune that way than a real complicated or intricate…[Read more]

Hi Casey Hey the new site feature for bookmarking the tunes is awesome. Thanks, Roland

Hi Judy, I’m not sure what tune you’re referring to from the Bluestone Ramblers. Chime back to me what it is and it might be on the upcoming tune list from one of the instructors. Thanks for posting. I’ll watch for your reply.

Hi Serita, I’m sorry I missed your post so a late Welcome to you and thanks for joining the site. Lots more to come with Casey editing more and more instructor content for FV fiddlers to build on their tune lists. Have fun! Roland Forum Moderator

Wow great comments on this thread considering it started in 2016.

I’m inspired by so many fiddlers & Violinists that I can’t name them all. All genres of music are in my sights and I can appreciate the genius in each master fiddlers style and techniques. Thanks for all the posts and keep them coming. Roland Forum Moderator

Hi Katmando,

Thanks for posting the link to that tune. Actually I think I’ve heard it before but never the name. Interesting name too!. Roland Forum Moderator

Thanks Casey, Nice to see all these great new tunes to keep us busy now that Summer is here. Best Roland

HI Gayle, I’ve never had that specific problem but plenty of others over the years. My only suggestion is to follow the advice of your PT experts to get back up to full strength and do the exercises they recommend. If you have some bowing exercises you’ve done in the past you can add those in as your strength returns, or tune in to the Tutorials…[Read more]

Hi Brians, Hey that’s great information for players that actually need a larger instrument since they have larger body frames and sizes/tastes. Also great tips which is super for knowing the potential challenges of playing such an instrument. Thanks for posting on the thread! Roland Forum Moderator

HI Natty, thanks for the feedback . I’ll certainly pass that idea on to Casey although I bet he has thought of that and it might already be in the Big Plan. However in the meantime Casey has some Tune of Choice tunes in his lessons that are Rags and often times they are played swing style. You might try a few of those out and and I will pass your…[Read more]
