Great lesson - thanks!

[@billmatsinger9140]

Excellent. Love the fiddlin and your explanation and playing of a few different styles. This is one to watch a few more times. Thanks.

[@franksfiddle9031]

So much to enjoy about these lessons Craig, but one thing, perhaps THE thing, that you've helped me with the most is that super-relaxed grip you have on the bow. If for nothing else but that, thank you ... more than you know :)

[@mrgroovestring]

I really appreciate your lessons so much. I have wanted to learn old time fiddle bowing for so long Thank you!

[@jordanfeil2041]

Great resource

[@aliweav]

I've never heard this explained so well! Thanks and for your other bowing videos too.

[@stagelifelv9324]

Wonderful lesson! Wonderful teacher! Just what I was looking for!

[@JimmyDeLocke]

Great lesson. I play the other bluegrass instruments and just took up the fiddle a few months ago. Your tips on bowing technique are super helpful. Thank you very much!

Brilliant, thank you so much. So pleased I stumbled across you.

[@BeverleyPriceJewellery]

It's a very important tune. Black Mountain rag ain't nothing but shortening bread with a Dixie breakdown chorus

[@jmike54]

Where can I find the lyrics (words) I grew here this song on commercials. I have a bluegrass beginner book that has the melody and one verse, but that sounds different that what you sang. Your lesson was great. I have been able to play now about half your speed
