Hey! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! It's been ages since I've made a video. Been really busy lately. I made a few videos back in September, but forgot to post them here. Please let me know what y'all see me doing wrong.

Songs:

Angelina Baker

Tennessee Waltz

Ragtime Annie (Kinda)

Also here's one I forgot to post:

I think I got too excited and played things too rapidly >_> heh....

Thanks for all your help!

Fiddle week 90, you need to slow it down some and concentrate more on your bow to finger synchronizing. Speed will come with practice and time. Not sure if you were reading from sheet or playing by ear. Your bow appears to be a little tight also.

Same thing with week 78, slow down. In this video your bow appears to be a bit loose, looks like the hairs are almost touching the stick.

Good luck.

Ken.

Happy New Year ...so very very good to see you and see you are still playing and recording. I tend to play a bit too fast when recording also. thumbs-up
