How to “fiddle” with fiddle music. This is exactly what I was looking for. Systematically transforming the basic tune to your own with your own signature. This has been very helpful.

Love you so much! I am seeing Trampled by Turtles in concert this March and I bet you would do an amazing cover of one of their songs! Would love to hear Codeine as it's my favorite. No pressure obviously. Love every song you do (even songs that I dont like the originals). You are such an inspiration. I would love to take fiddle lessons someday since I live in Appalachia and love the beauty, history, music, and people of this place.

So happy that this video popped up on my feed this morning! Wow, you are absolutely amazing! I'm an oldster less than 2yrs into learning fiddle; but having learned the basic Cripple Creek some time back and wanting to use it as a platform to develop my still-modest skills, I love your inspiring and insightful approach in this video. Glad to be a new subscriber!

Practice: People want to run before they can crawl. The work it takes to get to a point of improvising takes time. To get to where you are at 16:50 130BPM takes time. I'm no where near this level But making progress. My tip is for those who want to play like this is put good quality practice habits in. Practice everyday on something...Tone...Intonation... Rhythm over and over and over...the magic comes the next day when you pick the fiddle back up. What you are looking for is progress not perfection. But make the practice meaningful even if it's only for 5 minutes....KEEP PLAYING

You amaze me. I very thin fingers and I have a hard time not touching an open drone string. You have a man’s hand and you play so fast and never touch an open string. Wow!!! My dad could do that but I was to cool to play a fiddle in my teens. Lol I am now 77 years young and want to play. He played by ear and played with Bob Wells. Only at home. My dad didn’t travel with Bob they were just good friends.

Morning Phil, Is there a particular wood you prefer your violin to be?
@PhilipBowenMusic2 жыл бұрын
Very interesting question, that I don't know the answer to lol! BUT I would say before buying any violin you want to go try several and play them and play them and play em some more :-) - Most violin shops will let you even take an instrument home for a test drive

Glad it was helpful! For strings I would recommend the brand "Evah Pirazzi" they are my absolute favorite in the world! I also like Passione. If you want a less expensive set, Infeld and Pirastro Tonica are both great
