With help from our very own "MGN", myguitarnow, I started a learn to play blues page that will hopefully develop into a large jamming page with lot's of exercises and playback accompaniments. This is only the beginning 
Special thanks to MGN for his fantastic help!!!

Added 3 lessons yesterday with the etudes, instructions, and tutorials. To see the sheet-music larger just click on them.
This kind of improv is easier than it sounds. Good luck.

Ooo, I can't wait to get started on them. But for right now I must clean the house... apparently I have "responsibilities" outside of my violin. Who knew?!

That's just not fair GennaLea. Who should I talk to about that?

Um... Me.... no wait! My husband. Yeah, that's it. It's his fault. Um... okay, no, it's me.

I think that he'll be impressed when you turn on MGN's a minor blues shuffle on your stereo and start jamming big time to it. I can sit back with some friends with some beers and just jam for hours. It really is fun.

The fun thing about you MGN, is that you'll be playing to your own accompaniment. It may give you new ideas for future comps. You probably have a ton of musician friends that will be impressed when you bring one of your fiddles to a jam session.
It's also cool to play the blues on an electric violin with effects.

Just added a lesson to the BLUES PAGE with a great backup track by our beloved MGN
You guys will love that blues backup track in E minor which he generously offers to us free of charge.
Thanks MGN

Lovin' this! When my patient hubby asked if I knew any "new music", and I overheard dear BIL ask, "is that all she knows?" I ditched Oh Susanna and Jingle Bells and reached for fiddlermans blues lessons. Think if I get some wine in me Ill find some rhythm.

Sounds like a great plan.
Wine and blues.

ROFL ROFL - man - so true - OK - Picture This. Come to MY timezone on New Year's Eve - Barry and Mandy lined up an SJ session which, was still in 2016 their time.... but it was already 2am Jan 1st 2017 here. By the time they finished - it was 3am here. And it STILL wasnt 2017 over there ! LOL! But - I couldn't let 'em down so I jumped-on to SJ and I did my best ( OK, I had HAD a few "wee drams" by then, but was still capable of playing just as badly as I usually do. Cool... ) BUT - sure - I was "winging it" - normally I get the webcam set up and everything - and have a plan, and a set-list - this was "impromptu" and off-the-cuff - so I grabbed the USB stdio mic and relied on the lappy inbuilt cam - that of course meant I had to remain seated whilst playing.... I generally HATE THAT - but I did it - well - cos it was New Years - and we're all "family" so to speak.... Hahahah - I struggled through a few tunes with my darned elbow hitting my knee ( it's a low chair ) - I was even reduced to "half-kneeling" with my right-leg-knee on the floor - didn't help much really...
Eventually - I got fed-up with that and actually stood-up and tried to point the lappy cam towards me - NOT MY BEST EFFORT !!!
I put my relative failure ( well, it wasn't THAT bad ) - yes - down to a mix of un-preparedness and the presence of "more than a certain amount ( but not by not much, truly ) of alcohol" in my blood-stream
Actually - it was a GREAT event - I even stayed up until 5am to catch Barry on guitar and followed by another one of my fav vocalists - It has been a LONG time since I pulled a 24-hour day - caught 5hrs sleep and was back up and around come 10am New Years Day -
But yes - I look at the alcohol thing like this - "KNOW YOUR LIMITS" - and most assuredly - do not drive if under the influence - absolutely, do not do it.... (Oh - play fiddle if you want to - but I probably advise against that as well)
Yeah... Be Aware....
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - 
Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

LOL, I can't pull an all nighter in any case. I like the addition - Playing the fiddle is not advised either. ROFL
