I am a 67 year old beginner and I find your videos the easiest to learn from. Thanks.

Hi Craig here not Kathy , Yep I agree 66 n just retired trying to play for the first time this week , fortunately for her my wife still works whilst I’m trying to nail this .

[@regmarchant401]

Good morning, I’m contacting you from the south-east of England a little place called Rye. in East Sussex. I’ve been playing violin now for about five years and I am 75 years of age, I have watched many videos with Violin tutorials but yours is the easiest I have seen, it’s the calmness and delicate way you put your lesson across. Thank you very much indeed, I don’t think I’m going to play in the Hollywood bowl but I’m loving every second of it. Kind regards from England. X.

[@sarahperez9990]

Just an amazing tune!!! I love how you play the violin....you are the Next Hilary Hahn!! Thank you for this tutorial

[@TheTuneProject]

Thank you, Sarah! 😊

[@katherinemacdonald9909]

Hi Craig here not Kathy well thank you, simple but first time trying to play anything and it’s going well thanks so much I will surprise my musician friend who plays this on Banjo next time I see him .

[@richcibelli1445]

Thanks for putting this one up. Really enjoyed learning it!

[@lydiacheshire5183]

This is a perfect tutorial for beginners and me just wanting to learn more new fiddle tunes. Thank you, and you are amazing!

[@TheTuneProject]

Thanks so much, Lydia 🙂

[@gaetanobevilacqua2700]

Brava Laura.

[@timmyv795]

I learned this one but I like your simplified version with the double stops a lot better. Thank you so much!!

[@TheTuneProject]

Glad you like it!!

[@bobwerber2984]

Thanks for the soft start with open string double stops. Those double stops up the neck are brutal when you're starting out!

[@TheTuneProject]

Of course, Bob! Glad you found this helpful.

[@revolutioninprint8906]

Fantastic. Thank you for doing these.

[@fiddlestudio]

Sounds great!

[@TheTuneProject]

Thanks!

[@danaohler]

Love this so much, thank you!

[@TheTuneProject]

Thanks for watching!

[@cervus-venator]

Thanks as always. I had learned this one a while back, but I've never tried adding in the double stop shuffle intro nor the Shave and a Haircut ending. Looks like I'll work on this some more to add in things like that. Right now I'm working on Sweet Betsy from Pike, What Shall We Do with A drunken Sailor, Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier, Old Joe Clark, and Happy Birthday. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. I have a lesson today and we'll work on Sweet Betsy and Johnny Has Gone, but for some reason I always like to add more to my work, thus the others that I mentioned. Heck I even went back and worked on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Boil Them Cabbage Down a little bit this week. I think I need to work on my attention span. Thanks again as always. I really appreciate the info I gain form The Tune Project.

[@TheTuneProject]

Those are some great tunes!! Good for you!

[@spockb1186]

Hello Lauren! That's another great fiddle tune i also played at nursing homes. You could be as good as Alison Krauss, Mark O'Connor or Sara Watkins. Great Big Hug!!!

[@TheTuneProject]

What a compliment! 🤗

[@antonmuller6801]

👍

[@gypsybarrett4402]

Would it be possible to have the tabs written in here?? I’m trying so hard to write them out as you play and keep rewinding and 🤣🤣🤣I guess that’s how my brain is trying to do it 😅

[@mzfrizzle1794]

Sooo this isn’t the song by The Band… haha still love it, thanks for the new tune!

[@blancaschmit4448]

Could you include in your video the music? You have a version of Cripple Creek that I can't find

[@user-us4dj9tv7j]

Why does learning this song make me want to dance around the house playing it over and over? Is that what happens to you too?

[@BrianMarcus-nz7cs]

Yeh but I'm just a Banjer pickkin er 👍✍️
