  • I am a classical, concert violin soloist, not a fiddler, and I looked up the sheet music for this it looks really easy, the tone on your fiddle is mediocre at best, (in the violin world at least), because of the thin scratchy toe you get when playing the open E string. Sooo.... switch to a fourth finger on the A or a 2nd finger in 3rd position on the A to fix the tone, clean up the runs, by using your wrist more in bowing, relax your bow arm, and employ the use of VIBRATO! keep up the hard work!

  • @909me1 A "concert violin soloist" eh? I suppose in that case I will just HAVE to take your advice...

  • Hi Charlie, Your playing is very nice and I love the tone you are getting out of the fiddle. Can you tell us about your fiddle and bow? How you have everything set up, etc. Like I said the tone and playing are good to my ear.

  • @BobDaniel56 Thank you! It's a Cervini 300 violin with Pirastro Obligato strings.

    The bow is just a cheapo no name brand. It's the strings that make the tone quite "dark". Have since sold the outfit and now play a 5 string electric which I prefer because you can adjust the tone, add effects etc.

  • @909me1 Easy? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • @909me1 You're also a dick.

  • with a vein like that, boy...i'd have myself a time..heheheh

  • @909me1 You dont know the FIRST thing about the fiddle. ok you are supposed to play an open string when possible so stop trying to make it seem like youre smart.

  • @909me1 Actually you are supposed to play an open string when possible. yea you dont know anything about this.

  • @909me1

    actually in fiddle music you are not supposed to use 4th finger or 2nd finger in 3rd pos. If you fiddle, you are to use an open string when possible. take it from a pro, not a classical violinist.

  • Dang, you are fast! i play the advanced tune a lot slower lol just ask my teacher
