The Basics of Playing the Hurdy Gurdy

We discuss playing the coup, left hand position and movement, and briefly (very briefly) go over a tune.
It is important to have some foundation to start your playing with. Hopefully this will serve as a basic foundation for those getting started.
I stress in this video that the best way to proceed and become successful is to find a great teacher to help you learn and keep you moving forward. You can learn a lot on your own but a teacher can help to get you over those humps and fill in the gaps.
There is a list of teachers on the Hurdy Gurdy Community Facebook Group.
