@richiem95 Yeah I know. I'll be putting up a better version when I get around to it.

Could you just mention the first note?

Thanks.

I just need that first note and I could probably learn it by ear too...

Ohh, forgive my manners, Great job, especially for 2 weeks at 10 minutes a day!

@EnslavedAndOppressed C# Key is A Major.

That's fantastic that you decided to take up the violin again! You can definitely tell that you are an experienced classical musician...awesome job! My only advice is that in Irish music, the strong emphasis on beat is crucial. When you listen to and/or play it, you shouldn't be able to stop from tapping your foot. That being said, I would put more emphasis on the strong beats. Awesome work though! Keep it up :)

[mattxr2i]

@linhow1 Thank you. And you're right. I was just trying to play it way too fast. Like I said in another post, I'll be putting up a slower version when I can get around to it lol.

[Analiketika411]

[Analiketika411]

[mattxr2i]

For everyone, I'm going to be putting up a slower version of this here soon. I think it will sound much better :-)

[craigmolloy1]

[mattxr2i]

@craigmolloy1 Yeah I listened to it the other day and realised I play it way too fast lol.

[craigmolloy1]

@mattxr2i

the cock and the hen pleaasssee

[mattxr2i]

@craigmolloy1 Unfortunatly, I don't have the sheet music for it. I learned it by ear.I'm sure you can probably find it online somewhere. I'll take a look if I can and if I find it I'll PM you a link to it.

[Palmie01]

Fantastic. Máiréad would love it!!!

[mattxr2i]

@Palmie01 Well thank you very much! That is a heck of a compliment :-)

[mattxr2i]

@Palmie01 Just to be clear. That was probably the most awesome compliment I have ever gotten about my playing. I would dare say I am not worthy of such a compliment. But I would love to meet Mairead someday! She is my biggest inspiration as a fiddler! She is the reason I picked my violin back up in the first place. Thank you so much for your words. I will post more vids as I get better with the reels and slip jigs I am learning. So... Stay tuned lol :-)
