    The major difference between a fiddle and a violin is that you'll never spill beer on a violin.

    • @usernamemykel
      @usernamemykel 4 года назад +24

      No, the major difference is that when you're playing violin, that's when you're wearing shoes.

    Getting everything clean in good tempo isnt as easy as he makes it look either. It takes time, i suggest using a metronome it leatns ya to keep good time. U cant rely on it u need to develop clean time but it will keep you in check from speeding or slowing. Everything nneeds to be clean , sound levels even, times even, you are super comfortable playing.

    Ordered your book the other day and got it yesterday. Just because I am impatient - droning is so cool, but I am having issues "tunneling" (I don't really have fat fingers but I feel like I do when trying to drone). Any suggestions on hand placement or any other unique tips for droning? Tunneling makes sense, and maybe I just need to practice more, but it's quite hard

      Yes if you want to learn good fiddle music (bluegrass,western swing, country, Texas style fiddling and many more, contact Randy Elmore,or Wes Westmoreland. They are one of the best, I admire them alot .

  • @RonMaxfield
    @RonMaxfield 2 года назад

    I've noticed watching the fiddle lesson videos the camera is in front of the musician giving the lesson, when I think it would be more beneficial if the camera was above the fiddle pointing down on the fingerboard. That way the person watching the video can see what the teacher is really doing. Just a friendly suggestion.

    So, what angle or approach do I take to play the D and E string at the same time? It seems that it works if I approach the E string up bow and stroke up into the A string? Is there any different way to hold the Fiddle?

    • @roobs001
      @roobs001 4 года назад +2

      I’m sure you could adapt fiddle tunes to the viola for a richer, deeper sound. “Alone” by Trampled by Turtles features a viola playing what would be the fiddle in the background, I believe.

    The difference between a fiddle and a violin is that most fiddlers flatten the bridge to facilitate drones/double stops.

      @heyjude1587 3 года назад +1

      Yep😂 Try to relax! It's very challenging but you should relax and enjoy. Practice playing along with a slow, easy song that you like a lot. Stretch and relax your neck and shoulder muscles (and massage your face afterward with your fingertips at the TMJ). Be sure your fiddle is at the best height. Maybe tuck a washcloth between your shoulder and the fiddle. Just relax, though. Enjoy yourself and don't expect too much perfection right at first. Find a friend who plays to enjoy a more fun way to learn. I really love playing along with a guitar.

  • @johnjriggsarchery2457

    Lesson one for an absolute beginner is find someone that can show you the proper way to hold the violin and bow. Having to relearn how to hold the bow after being self taught incorrectly is a drag.

    • @Alex-fh4sk
      @Alex-fh4sk 2 года назад

      look up videos on the notes and match them up. the strings are GDAE G being the lowest and E the highest. and from there you find the notes on the strings, when you’ve found them you can mark them with thin violin tape so you remember and get used to keeping that fingering.

    Just discovered your channel. I'm considering purchasing a beginner fiddle/violin to get started. I wish to play both styles - but, I found a company - Kennedy - that has a separate fiddle. The bridge is flatter that allows for easier double and triple stop playing. Which would you get? The violin or the fiddle? I've played guitar most of my life - but I want to start violin/fiddle.
