Thank you, great tips for learning and playing this. Any suggestions for the three note slide on an upbow in measure12, use fourth finger or cross strings?

I've been playing a simpler version but your version introduces some interesting things that I will try. Suggestion for new tunes: Hawks and Eagles and Nancy Blevins which is very similar on the A part.

I'll add those to my list! Thanks!

What a beautiful tune! Those minor notes are like ear candy! LOL A tune suggestion of mine would be "Reubens Train", "Reuben", "Train 45" (I think they're all versions of the same fiddle tune) That would be an Awesome tune for you to teach us. Thanks

Thank you, much appreciated. How about a lesson on the Methlick style or Gram Lees Waltz.

I love this and appreciate the scale work (I hate melodic minor because of the change) In a future video can you also tell us what you did at the end of the scale and why it “worked” ? Is something like that in the scale course?

@MeadowlarkViolin Жыл бұрын

Hi James, do you mean talking through the scale more with regards to what I'm doing with the left hand? If so, yes, the scale course does go into a lot of detail with that. For instance, there are a lot of "tricks" you can do with keeping fingers down on the left hand to make the arpeggio much easier and quicker to play.

@@MeadowlarkViolin That would be cool too, but at the end of the scale, at 2:49, you did a little riff, which sounded cool, and clearly was just messing around, but based on knowledge I'd love to have.

@@jamesbarros950Oh yes! I see what you're talking about now. See the sheet here: bit.ly/3TosnYv The part you are referring to is measures 9-11 under "Scale and Arpeggio." Enjoy!
