Getting a bit bored with it now, still mistakes, but its better than it was, think its a case of repetition more than anything.

Not a bad idea, I am learning others at the moment as well, but the problem is time as much as anything else. Even when I get this one down I still have he second part to do, but then again that should be a lot quicker as its mainly the same as the firat bit with variations, its if I can be bothered. 

One of the reasons I like jigs is that they are extremely quick to learn, dont take much time, and are fun to learn. I am learning a vivaldi one at the moment as well as Irish and also one from the baroque book 4, as I said though trouble is time, I spend a lot on scales, and I dont have enough time to keep running through everything I know, its like that kelpie one in the holoween party, I just read that one right off, but to memorise it would take time, which I havent got.

going to have to start prioritising.

Thanks Katie to be honest its still laboured in parts, in fact its very laboured at the start, like any tune you have to play them about a thousand times to get it smooth, this is no where near that yet, will be eventually, but its a very difficult tune to play, think its about grade 5, there is a saying apparently, that its too easy for beginners and too hard for² advanced players, slightest thing that is  out stands forward a mile but its good for learning technical things, and for shifting practice berween first and third, of which there is a lot 😉 Maybe it will sound better when I put my new strings on that I just bought, should have got some months ago as these are dead, cant hear them ring anymore, new ones make a huge difference, just getting time to put them on.

Emily, I took it down because it was garbage, which I only realised after I had listened to it some hours later, like a delayed effect. I think if you record something its best to not listen to it again for about 5 hours and then it is possible to gauge the faults. Itwas more or less in tune, probably less lol, but too slow and too fast in different parts, if I ever want to get any good I am going to have to concentrate a lot harder than I am doing at the moment, I am becoming far too happy with very mediocre playing which is why I am not progressing much.

Enjoyed your vid by the way, I think youtube automatically compress files that you upload, still takes a while from your end though, I have about 7 accounts on there myself covering a few different things not music related.

This post is also probably my last on this forum, as well Gordon, I am on a couple of other ones, but I have been asked by a couple of bands to sing for them as well so my time here is most likely at an end, first and foremost I am a singer, fiddle was just a diversion really, I will stll post vids on my you tube channel, and maybe on other forums.
