I love your lessons. Thank you for all your help!

[@tonimacomb5133]

Omg! I'm 68 and am just starting the violin. Your technique makes sense to me and is fun! Thank you!

[@RedDesertFiddle]

Hooray! How's it going, now 4 months have passed? I hope you are still excited and learning alot!

[@tonimacomb5133]

Thanks for the note! I've gone back to the mandolin. Don't worry, I've not given up will keep noodling around on the violin.

[@RandyRieger]

I have been learn this for a few weeks, the first grasshopper version, and I do it fine except it's been quite mechanical. This video instantly cured me of that. Idk why but it flipped a switch. It's the only song I play mechanically for some reason but you helped me, so, I thank you.

[@jeanniecain748]

I don't know if you are still doing lessons. But I love these two lessons. I am an older adult and love the way you taught these lessons. Thank you so much.

[@RedDesertViolin]

Hi Jeannie, Thanks for your comment. Yep, I'm still doing lessons. You can find me at www.RedDesertViolin.com! (and you can email me from there too) GOod luck on Boil Em Cabbage!

[@ogstopper]

[@loralynstaples5483]

You bet! KZbin peeps have been so good and kind to me!

[@stevelloyd9344]

thanks for talent to help others actually old folks

[@RedDesertFiddle]

The ultimate compliment is if I helped someone. Thanks for your comment.

[@chubrown79]

I know this is an old video, but I love this. My daughter is 5 and we are just now starting this song. We have a truly excellent teacher, but it's wonderful to be able to have these videos at home. Thank you!

[@4sojourners4Him]

Thanks so much. My son is curious about fiddling and enjoys your videos. He especially likes your "apple pie" and "grasshopper" tips to help him learn the rhythms. We look forward to more of your videos! ~Maria..

[@mathispayne]

As a novice adult learner, I learned so much more from this one video than any other fiddling resources I've tried. Your approach is so adorable and very helpful. I can't get "grasshopper" out of my head. Excellent video!

[@jackdominey2863]

[@russbear31]

[@Findawg88]

[@vanessaharrison1881]

My violin teacher says you can also say " hi mommy, hi daddy " instead of grasshopper. :D

[@joannepickford9441]

Hi What are the notes from 7:30 in the video please.

[@RedDesertFiddle]

Hey Joanne, sorry for the delay. You probably don't need the notes anymore. But, they are, from the beginning of the scale: G string: A, B, C# D string: Open D, E, F#, G# A string: Open A, B, C#, D E string: Open E, F#, G#, A I hope your playing is progressing nicely!

[@unicornia1620]

THIS IS THE ONLY SONG I'M GOOD AT

[@loralynstaples5483]

Well it's a GREAT song to be good at! ;-)

[@RedDesertFiddle]

Thanks, RD. (but a SLOW responder to comments!) :-(

[@gracestaker1890]

i play but shes good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@1Dexire]

its bile them cabbage down its in the freakin book

[@unicornia1620]

For me in the book it says BOIL THEM CABBAGE

[@mindyhunke9964]

Both are correct. It has been "folk processed" and sometimes you will see boil or bile dem cabbage. It's all good.
