I began playing 2 years ago next month at age 69. I play off and on everyday throughout the day. Ashokan Farewell was my stretch goal from the beginning and still one of my favorite pieces to play. Thanks for your channel. 🎻
75 year old guitar player. Been playing fiddle about 5 years. Old Time music is my favorite. I find that the Tune Project videos, coupled with my ear and the sheet music library, are a complete set of learning tools. Now all I need is about four more hours in each day.
I started playing violin 21 months ago. I am enjoying the videos you post and also the ability to access the sheet music to go along with them. I enjoy playing folk more than the classical music and hope to improve on my technique as time passes. Thank you for sharing your talent on RUclips!
I started violin 3 years ago right before COVID and couldn’t even read music. I’ve just been learning this month about ornaments and last week a friend mentioned the music from the “Ken Burns Civil War” movie which I looked up and started to play. Today RUclips served up this video which is exactly on the mark of where I am in my playing!!
Been playing about 15 years the guitar and now I’m learning and playing fiddle around 2 years! Thank you for doing this give away, I’m fan of your tutorials. 🖖🏼
I've been playing on-and-off for about ten years. I had a rough patch where my fiddle sat in a dusty corner. Discouragement can be difficult to overcome but the Tune Project has helped me break out and enjoy playing again. Thanks.
I picked the violin back up after a pandemic break, started learning about 5-6 years ago. Trying to learn some fiddling to play for my Mom, aged 90. Thanks for your tutorials!
Just picked it back up from a 10 year lay-off. Before that was playing for about 3 years so I’m kinda back where I started. I find your tutorials very very helpful. Thanks for all your hard work
i was playing guitar religiously for 4 and 1/2 years and took a violin 30 days ago and haven’t stopped ever since I love it so much im becoming a natural luthier all ready assembled 13 violins and stared to make my own pegs and stuff I think in 10 years Ill be super awesome and probably in less I love playing it studying it smelling it comparing the sounds of different types and different years love the stories and the music is by far this versatile instrument is a masterpiece of engineering and the most awesome beautiful and elegant instrument in the whole universe is a gift from God! And I can’t help falling in love with this instrument and want to share it with the world one day Ill jave enough violins to help schools and people with ptsd and depression or just some one that simply loves to play no matter what mark my words not for the money but for the love!
Started playing a fiddle when I was 56 now 58 and still learning to play the fiddle by myself your videos are very very informative and I learned a lot from them thank you
I have been playing the violin for 6 years I love how you teach on this channel for a very long time. I believe the LR BAGGS DI will improve my performance sound a great deal. Hopefully to win this ! Thank you!
I am a classically trained violinist who started violin with the Suzuki method at the age of 6, I’m 54 now, moved to Knoxville, TN two years ago and dove into learning to play fiddle music during the pandemic and restarted teaching violin after an injury. I have been watching many videos and I really enjoy your videos. I was just going to ask about your mic on your violin and then you got to the give away section! I have had to play outdoors a few times here in TN and had to do a bunch of research about mics and amps which I knew nothing about. THanks for all your educational videos. I am a subscriber.
Thanks for sharing, Lesli! I too started at the age of 6 with the Suzuki method. The giveaway ended a few weeks ago, but I still would recommend the LR Baggs pickup and DI for what it sounds like you’d be doing!
Hey all. Ornamentation escapes me, I never think about it until I hear someone else doing it and I wish I knew more... I have been playing violin/fiddle/and now viola for twenty years now. Mostly for myself but I do get out and play for others every once in a great while. My preference in style is what I call "coffee style" dark and broody. I enjoy gypsy, grunge, blues and "Texas Outlaw" (Waylon Jennings, and the whole cast of Texas Song Writers who's music told a story). Anyway, Thank You for your video, I enjoy them very much. Jim
I’ve been playing about 4.5 years now. I love your videos and really love the zoom classes once a month. I ALWAYS learn something new every time. You are so patient and caring in your teaching !
Hi Lauren! I've been playing fiddle for almost one year. I have been learning a lot from you and I have heard you use the term "turn", and I wrote it down so I could look it up, but here you are explaining it to me, yay! Thank you so much, I love your teaching style and your playing very much!
Been playing for 19 years! Mostly in orchestras, now in pop/folk/country bands that play around Austin, TX. Your videos have been great for a busy, full time working mom who wanted to learn more about fiddle. Thanks!
this is pretty cool, ...a friend just gave me their old beat up violin. I know nothing about the instrument and been 'playing' it for about two weeks with it but its super fun. Hope to get more into it
I've been playing around 3 years (with a 8 or 9 month gap after the first 4 months). Love your tutorials, they really help add to my depth of knowledge along with my teacher's instructions.
I have been playing since mid-January, and I love my instrument!! I started performing with the violin in a worship group (I have been so far playing the flute). Ashoken farewell is an awesome piece! I downloaded it and will be working on it. I appreciate the clarity of your tutorials. What led me to your video is that I wanted to know how to play an ornament in the first measure of 'Where the river Flows - Jig' (Pete Crockett & Allan McKinlay)?
I tune in contralto D ,D A E B ,a fourth below G soprano,or a step above tenor,I the first with 2 up and 2 down in tension.With D to E minor on top I can do catalog that I would have to transpose or not perform.Some tune down a third to E ,or E B F# C# or E B G D,F C G D is also excellent.Old Chris a retired fiddler of Albuquerque NM
i have always desired and longed to be able to read music. I was self taught by playing bass in bar bands since my teens. When I finally played in a band where everybody read. I WAS SHOCKED at how ignorant they were at basic “songsmanship”. Now I feel i wanna stay blissfully ignorant.
Great lesson, really enjoyed it! I’m new to the fiddle although it seems to come relatively “easy” to me since I play bluegrass and play the other instruments in that genre quiet good. Could you possibly make a lesson on some cliche bluegrass licks/fills? I find it hard to find much information on that topic and I think it’s a good thing to get started with improvisation.😁 Cheers from Sweden

I started to learn fiddle tunes when 66 years old. Just recently learned Ashoken Farewell . Very nice piece indeed.

Ten year dabbler. Now have time to get serious.
You are a good teacher.
Thank you 🎻

I’ve been playing off and on for several years... mostly self taught. I really like your videos and the way you explain things. Thanks very much!
Thanks for the tips. I’ve been playing about 20 yrs. Started later in life and I’m trying to get rid of a lot of bad habits
I have been playing about 2 years, I love all your fiddler help, can't wait to try enhanced Ashokan Farewell!

Great video with useful info. I have been playing for 8 years.

Good lesson. Thank You!
I have been playing almost 4 years. I have learned several songs from you. Thank you for your help and keep up the good work!

Thank you for the demonstration Lauren. 🤗 I wanna try that to make it more country bluegrass like fiddling.
I have only been playing for just over two years, love your videos!
Awesome! Thank you!

Good luck to you!
