Just in case anyone wants to learn this and hasn't already found a resource for it. I may find some time in the future to jot down the notes, but I have a feeling there are plenty available.

Why the pause button? Is it tiresome? Too long? It's good to know for making better videos in the future.
I'll try to jot down the notes. I wanted to write "He's a Pirate" first.
Thanks

No, video is fine just the way I like . Information and illustration.
I use that pause button so I can digest the information.
I have to take small bites if you know what I mean. LOL

These words are unacceptable for you Naska.
Repeat after me, "I can, I know I can because I am great"
Say this 100 times and then you can try the "Orange Blossom Special"
It's one of those tunes that sound much harder than it is.

Mad, you gotta break it down. A little bit at a time.
Sometimes you can get a piece of song working for you and turn it into a whole new tune . Thats some FUUN!

Do you start that with up bow?

I start down bow LB
The trick is to cross as little as possible. Find the angle that you barely have to move to hit the other two strings. Play real close to the frog but not so much that you get a bad sound. Not much pressure necessary at the frog either.
Also, start real slow, work up the speed over a period of time and have patience. It will come.

Maybe in about 5 years I will be ready for this. I have been working on SwallowTail jig, just because I like it, but it is way out of my league right now as well. Wife keeps telling me to practice the basics, but I am having too much fun with songs I know.
Offline
This is super common. Having too much fun doing the stuff that is FUN
Imagine how much better you would do the fun stuff if you spent time on the boring basics and technique.

OK FM, now you are starting to sound like my wife...

I'm great at imitating the wife because I'm one of those who rather do the fun stuff without all the work and prep.
