[lucifersam100]

nice tone! great job.

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

My compliments to the guitar picker for not playing the accompaniment line too loud and obscuring the fiddle......very nice fiddlin' too.

[MrBluesWeiser]

Violin players usually make great guitar players. You gotta try some stand up bass sometime and you can be the whole band!!! :)

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

This is GREAT !!!!  You're already an impressive fiddler and will only get better....BRAVO !

[bookworm1960]

That was wonderful, thank you!

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

This is GOOD fiddlin'......I'd like to hear what Itzhak Perlman did with this tune...lol

[Listen2Duane]

You are one Picking Princess! Is there any stringed instrument you don't play well? You are truly awesome!

[sirhc141]

And this is why i love going to the US every year. excellent vid ....thanks

[DerekLHoffman]

I like what you do with the dubbing. I was just curious as to what program you are using. I dub over using a digital recorder, but it does not have video. I have enjoyed your many videos. Thank you for sharing with all of us in cyber world.

[Singerazboi100]

This song is now sad ever since the Titanic...

[3MusicAle]

Beautiful!!! I´m a very begener on Violin and find beautiful music like this, invite me to try learn and play it. I´m engaged on it now. Well, could you share the sheet music? I´m from Argentina, Southest country in America. I´ll try to find this Method of American Fiddle here in this country but I´m not sure I´ll find it here.

Sorry for my English. (spanish spoken)

¡¡Very nice to find you on youtube, a really dedicated young musician, and talented.!!

¡¡Congratulations!!

[BluegrassForte]

Hi! Thank you! I use a fiddle book by "Brian Wicklund". There should be many fiddle books with this song in them. Maybe not the same arrangement. I am not home to look at my book . . . . I am performing away from my home for 2 more months. I wonder if you could get the music for this song for "free" online?

Sorry, I couldn't be more help to you.

[HeIsLegend14]

@BluegrassForte is the book by Brian Wicklund called the american fiddle?

[BluegrassForte]

@HeIsLegend14 Yes...American Fiddle Method book #2 by Brian Wicklund.

@BluegrassForte

I use as a reference the MIDI found on Hetzler's fakebook. I was living in Boston and the only non Irish admitted to special old fiddlers' evenings. I have monitored all U TUbe versions of Ragtime Annie and found yours very interesting.

[Mr8704]

WOW

[juliewoolie17]

AMAZING ! i am trying to learn it but i cant seem to get it ! how long did it take you to learn it !

[BluegrassForte]

Thanks! It took me about a week to learn but longer to perfect it.

[Suppe1961]

[BordiniBlues85]

[VickyGoss]

Perfect! I noticed a chord in there that was quite unique and made it sounds so lovely. 5 *****

[LaughOfComedy]

I have been fiddling since I was 8...(33 years now) and I would love to learn to play this...you are a real encouragement. Did you learn it by ear or did you have sheet music?

[BluegrassForte]

Hi! Thank you for your comment! I learned this song by using "The American Fiddle Method, Volume 2" by Brian Wicklund.  It came with a CD so I used both the book and the CD. It has a lot of other great songs in it too. I play some of them here on Youtube.

[yz250fdude]

is it easy to play fiddle cause i play guitar fairly well and i want to play the fiddle

[BluegrassForte]

To me, the guitar is way easier. I enjoy playing the fiddle though.

Gretsch'n

[melissamccraw]

yeah. i've played guitar for years and i'm trying to learn the fiddle.  it's so much harder.

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

Sounds good. Play it again now and let's see how much you have improved. I'm sure you can tear it up.

[BluegrassForte]

Thanks for your comment! I'll have to do that!

Gretsch'n

[club349]

these things keep getting better

thanks for posting more

[Papachulo57]

Great fiddlin.

Thanks for sharing

[drifterls]

thats really good.I love when you double string...Just wondering what kind of fiddle is that.I guess I should say what brand ..Realy nice sound.Thanks for sharing.

[BluegrassForte]

Thank you. I bought my violin used and it didn't have a brand stamped in it so I am not sure. I have a couple of unbranded violins and I have noticed that the string quality makes a big difference in the sound. I use Dominant strings. They are more money, but they are worth it. :o) Gretsch'n

[sizefam4]

Wow that's great! How long have you been fiddling? It sounds wonderful! I practice a ton, but it's all worth it when you get to the jam session! Do you take lessons? I just started lessons 2 months ago, but I had classical lessons till I was a senior in high school. I'll post some of what I'm working on here in the next day or two :) Well, guess I'll get on to your next video. Talk at you later.

[Birdog225]

Zowie!

[BluegrassForte]

My Youtube friends know me as Gretsch'n. I am also called Blue. :o)

[fredkoning]

[ottlakerambler]

Not as easy as it looks, or sounds. The bowing in the A part is challenging, and you do it well!
