Been finding really great fiddling every day lately, but I'm still amazed by very helpful older videos, too!   ...and it's NOT A.I.!

Adam DeGraff did a whole series of tutorials for a challenge he put out back in 2017 - for fiddlers to learn the Guns & Roses song, 'Sweet Child O'Mine'!  

Some very helpful tips in these (check out Adam's YT Channel)!

SCOM Tutorials - 10 video playlist!

 

Just a sample:

Here's the 1st SCOM Tutorial to check out - everyone can do this!

Here's the 4th SCOM Tutorial.  Helps get guitar feel on the fiddle!

I remember watching his performance video of this some years ago--found it after watching the one he did for Don't Stop Believin'

YouTube Video - Adam Degraff – Sweet Child of Mine

@SharonC - 

Thanks for those!  

I remember running across his playing a few years back, but don't know why I didn't notice the tutorials at that time (or I did & I'm just losing my mind).

Adam really is inspiring - makes learning seem easy, too!
