In this 7 part series, you will learn how to play the fiddle from scratch!
The major difference between a fiddle and a violin is that you'll never spill beer on a violin.
No, the major difference is that when you're playing violin, that's when you're wearing shoes.
@@usernamemykel LMAO
No, one has strings the other has strangs
And the only tune that fiddle would play was oh the wind and rain......
Ain’t got no tobaccy stains on a violin neither!
I just ordered a fiddle and will get it in about 3 days. Really excited to learn! I need to find that fiddle page you mentioned! Thank you for making these videos!
How’s the fiddle fiddling going? 🤷🏻♂️
Im gonna defeat the devil
Sam Hyde that song is why I’m learning how to play lol
Corenagade same here lmao
I heard he went down to Georgia lookin for a soul to steal...
Well placed reference. One if the 3 songs that are why in playing now. I built my own
😂😂😂
What awesome videos! What a wonderful gift God gave him!
lol
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.
they played us like a damn fiddle!
@@Shade_141 me too
Stfu 🤫 my girls last name is Fiddler
This is rad. This is going to help me so much!
Really, really good. I love your lessons. Where can I get your book?
Super informative and helpful! Thanks!
❤thank you!!!
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
Any fiddle staff?I am a music major and have a very solid foundation in musical instrument playing, including violin, piano, trombone, and guitar. But I know nothing about fiddle in my life. I want to popularize it. How long do I need to study systematically?
Ima beat johnny with this good lesson. My gold fiddle not yours.
You might regret it, though. He's the best that's ever been.
Thank you for these videos!!!!
Hey there, great tutorials. What is the name of that classical piece you played at the beginning? Thanks :)
We don't have fiddle teachers here where I live. So is there any way I can start on fiddle if I can learn them online here?
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 .
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.
Hey Michael I have a itch now to wanting to get back into learning how to play my violin another go fater not playing for two years, and finally got down to the conlcusion on wanting to learn how to play the fiddle cuz I love Irish folk music and bluegrass. Just wondering do u teach on how to play these types of music? I also bought your book i found at barns n noble couple years ago after our last chat. :) hope to hear from u soon.
what was the violin song you played at 0:33?
I get the sliding into the notes, and the drones. Are you using the "Nashville Shuffle" while playing that? It sounded great by the way.
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?
0:28 phew, you made it sing!
I have a question: can I play country fiddle on a viola or do I really need a violin?
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.
You'd be playing country viola.
Thanks. This is very helpful.
You are welcome! I am glad you found the video helpful.
+Violin Tutor Pro Thx i almost died when i heard "the tag" it was amazing!
How do you hold the bow and adjust the bow???
God bless this beautiful American. I hope that one day he can propel our race to a cultural future like the renaissance
The difference between a fiddle and a violin is that most fiddlers flatten the bridge to facilitate drones/double stops.
Is it the same between fiddle and vibrato?
my ears hurt after playing.... and my teeth are clenching is that normal?
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.
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.
I understand,but I don't know where abcde strings are. Do I guess where they are.
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.
Step 1: Be Kazuhira Miller
Step 2: There is no step 2
What no shoulder rest??????
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.

Never touched an instrument in my life but I want to learn. I'm stuck between a harmonica and a fiddle. What would you suggest?
McSlama Fiddle
I agree fiddle is the best... I love this instrument I'd love to learn it
Ángye A I play
Depends on if you want to stroke it,or blow it
@@gabanjoman best comment😂
A fiddle yo surpass metal gear
is it just me or is the video and audio completely unsynced for everyone else too?
Yes, the audio is badly out of sync.
No beginner is going to know where those notes are or even the names of the strings. So how can you teach a beginner without that information??
OMG you are really good at the intsment 😂 spelling on point
The slide makes it sound more like a human voice saying a name but as in a question. Like ah-evieee ? (Have you seen the kitty cat?)
You look like Shooter Mcgavin
Boys im training to fight the devil
