[@7kemsley]

I found your Fiddlehed lesson ‘Oh Sussanna with ornamentation’ a good practice on this scale.

[@pizza_tapes]

I like your vibe fiddlehed. Just getting started and very happy to have found your channel

[@fiddl3hed]

Welcome, fellow fiddler! There is also a FiddleHed Facebook page. Check out FiddleHed.com, too. There are free options there along with the subscriber ones. There are hundreds of free FiddleHed videos on You Tube. KZbin just implemented an option that will slow down or speed up the audio on KZbin. Check it out. You will probably find it very helpful. Cheers.

Awesome to hear, you're so welcome! 😀 🎶 💗 We have a Guide available that you, or someone you know, may enjoy: fiddlehed.com/blog/how-to-play-violin-an-illustrated-beginners-guide-fiddlehed/

[@kilimanjarno]

future fiddlers of the Earth. Sweet. (love your videos, and love your sensitivity to the volume of your violin and voice. I'm a rank beginner, and I started by playing way too loud; I'm learning from you that playing softer sounds much nicer.)

[@fiddl3hed]

Arno, sometimes louder is also good. It is great that you can hear there is an effect with the dynamics. You will use it to your benefit some day. Keep playing. Glad you found Fiddlehed. :)

[@allenronaldson2860]

Why didn’t I think of that? I love that exercise now!

[@RM-te1pc]

another awesome video

[@fiddl3hed]

Smiling.

[@gustavomolina5308]

Bien venido vas a encontrarte muy bien recibido, hay muy buenos lugares donde podes encontrarte estos estilos de música.

[@geregesgedebug285]

Thank You very helpfull!!!!

[@Ifixitagain]

VERY useful hint that, putting index finger between the G and D strings so it doesn't touch the A. thanks

[@fiddl3hed]

🙌🎻 🙏

[@gustavomolina5308]

Muy bueno todos tus consejos, te sigo de Argentin, mis saludos.

[@fiddl3hed]

Gracias Gustavo

[@fiddl3hed]

Yo quiero viajar a Argentina una día de estos para estudiar la música de Tango y folklórica...

[@phillipssaylor65]

another very helpful lesson. I'm confused by terminology. Drone = open string and finger stops on another string. Double stop = stopping with one finger or two fingers on two strings. Please explain.

[@yvonnedreyer2930]

It would be great if you could do a few more tunes using the Georgia shuffle.

[@fiddl3hed]

Yvonne, I do have your request on the request sheet. When I tried to answer this a while back, it wouldn't take the post t but it is on the extremely long request list. Cheers.

[@ogstopper]

What terrific lessons. Thank you so much. Where do I donate?

[@fiddl3hed]

So glad you're with us on FiddleHed. Thanks for your support! 💙

[@kellysara9766]

I didn’t say thank you so thank you so so much!!!

[@elliottshapiro8601]

nice

[@OutdoorMishaps]

So... When playing the "D" And droning the A.. your fingers by the G.. Should we assume when droning the D, and playing A, your fingers near the E?

[@HomerInNC]

I have a quick question for you. Do you put both your fingers down on both strains? By the way, I exclusively use your channel for a lot of my technique.

[@fiddl3hed]

Hi there, thanks for reaching out! In this video, one string has fingering and the other string is played without fingerings. The technique you mention is good to approach when one is ready for that. Wow, thanks for sharing your support and for tuning into FiddleHed regularly 🙏🏿 We have a Guide available that you may enjoy: fiddlehed.com/blog/how-to-play-violin-an-illustrated-beginners-guide-fiddlehed/
