Sounds great, but I hope there'll be some help available.  I don't seem to be getting the double stops.  Will there be several different versions as per the Xmas project?

Barry's idea is that we should all play the same basic part but play it our own way as they do in jam sessions. As long as we all follow a click track we will be fine.
Can you be specific as to the help that you want? I'd be happy to do what I can. I hope there will be some progress posts as there were with the Xmas Project. Makes learning more fun. smile

Is that a good thing or bad? Do you even get any time off for the holidays?

I'm away from home (i.e. my instruments..) but I have done a slowed down version of a guitar only backing track that may be helpful. It is 109BPM(ish)crossedfingers which is around the speed Barry played in his demo. I count in 2 bars so you can get the pickup notes. Let me know if this was the feeling you are going for Barry and I can record the whole 4 times, OR we can use Oliver's as it sounds pretty good alreadycheerleader

 

PS. it is 440 Hz=A tuning

That was fantastic Naska.

You've really come a long way. Only comment I have for you right now is that your left elbow swings out to the left from time to time. Try to keep it straight under the fiddle unless you go up in the positions in which case you would swing under to the right to come around the violin for the reach. As you can imagine, if you need to go up in your positions on top of swinging to the left your arm would be working real hard.

Your right hand wrist and finger flexibility is a model for all to check out.

You should be proud of this one.

Thanks for the post. Keep up the great work. smile

Red Wing? Aaahhh! (Bob Wills holler) I do a good Johnny Gimble style Red Wing with the extra "rolls" and some double stops. Pretty tune.

 

@Naska- Nicely done!

Thank You! I'll try to. My teacher says exactly the same… But it's quite uncomfortable to keep it straight under without swinging out when i play on A or especially on E facepalm but i'll keep trying… birthday_balloonbirthday_balloonbirthday_balloon

That was wonderful Mad Wed! I hope to get something posted on here tonight.

A little history where Red Wing was derived from (originally written in the late 1800s by Robert Shumann called The Happy Farmer then music for Red Wing written by Kerry Mills and lyrics by Thurland Chattaway in 1907):
