This was such a joy - it is SO validating to see to smile and nod as though you were actually hearing me play. You play this part so well it's even a little bit uncanny - at some point I felt this sudden sinking feeling to my stomach, as I had just caught myself picking my nose and my brain was suddenly shouting at me that I'd just done that in front of a real person talking to me over zoom or something. So, sorry for picking my nose in front of you sir, and SO MANY THANKS
😄 you can pick your nose anytime! No judgement here 🙂 That's one of the advantages of these video lessons. Here are some more play along videos to pick your nose to: ruclips.net/p/PL6By1KZHRO2KHi59cupsiiPXU7tbyOZTw
Hello Christian, I just discovered your channel. I want to thank you a lot for your smile and your pedagogy. I had an accident this summer on my left hand, and this is so inspiring to help recover with the violin ! Though I never played well, I got the pleasure to take the bow again tonight ! Cheers from France.
Thank you so much for your positive teaching online class. I play a Carvin 5 string bass in a church praise band. I have been playing bass for over 40 years. I started taking piano lessons a year ago. I just started taking violin lessons with a good teacher on February 20th of this year. I purchased a Fiddlerman Concert violin and I have been having such a fun time with it. I want to start playing the violin in the band by September. I am glad I found your sight. I am learning how to play country fiddle music from your teaching. Thank you for keeping it simple for a beginner violinist. Thank you again. Douglas
Hey, Christian, I just discovered your channel today. It's such a joy to see your smile, but it's also nice to see how you can break down the fiddling into small, easy to understand pieces. Thank you so very much. God bless people like you 😊
Thank-you so much for the effort you've put into your lessons, I love your style of teaching. Just started learning after a violin was given to me, and so far I prefer the fiddle style. Thanks again, brilliant.
just bought a 60 year old suzuki from a bazaar on th eold route 66 in oklahoma. ive been doing this ALL DAY. you are a really good teacher. im hooked for life i thnk.
Thanks so much! I was a bluegrass banjo player in the 70s...gave it up awhile. Took up oldtime fiddle, there's some bluegrass jams around here & I thought I should try bluegrass fiddle!
I got something going. I feel better. I have played mandolin for a couple years but just inherited my grandpas 1920s stratovarius copy and finally got pegs right. Thanks alot, you helped me so much. im Very grateful.
Oh, you are lovely. You're so engaging--you must have a great relationship with your students. I'm an American cello and piano teacher here in Scotland, getting back into playing fiddle. I can hardly wait to go through your videos. Thanks for making these. :)

the bluegrass bonus i thought would be that ubiquitous G run with the chromatics and hammer-ons. that that’s starts on low G and runs up to high G.
it’s a lot easier on guitar than fiddle (for me) and i hate guitar.
