Teehan's as a Strathspey, maybe.

It's a slow reel, but it's just asking to be a strathspey...here's my attempt at scottish snaps. Played normally the first time through.


Hanging out with all those awesome fiddle players in D.C. made me want to give my own violin some devoted practicing! I'm still having trouble getting the pitches right every time...I never have this problem on the flute :\

why is your violin mute on?

gives me a headache otherwise, my fiddle has a really (like, really) bright sound because of the finish.

yeah, pitches are particularly hard on the violin, no frets! i wonder how long it takes to develop that muscle memory to hit those notes consistently, in any case i think your speeding along just fine :) have you played violin before you picked it up recently?

@chansherly212 If you work at it enough you could probably develop pretty good pitch in a few months, especially if you're playing just fiddle music.

thanks for giving me hope :)

yeah, I took lessons when I was about 12, so I learned the fingerings for D major, but I stopped after two years. I only took it out once in a while since then...I think I have a few videos of it from last year.
