[@hannahmacdonald6292]

Amazing tune, you play it so beautifully!! Thank you for the instructions. I am learning the song by playing along with you with the video on 50% Speed. Can't wait to learn the whole thing.

A very helpful video. Start out with your finger across both the e and the b

I so don’t get when it’s upbow or down bow 😂 🫣

[@TheFiddleChannel]

Hi Eva. I suggest you try to start each bar with a down bow, and do all separate bows. Make notes 2,3,5 and 6 really short, so you just think about down, up for the 1 and 4. I'll be doing a video on Irish bowing basics fairly soon.
