I liked it alot! I am not familiar with the song, but you keep a very nice rhythm going. I really liked the last note. I don't know what you call the fingering for that...a slide? Pretty neat. I have the look you have, glaring at my fingers, willing them to behave and go where I want them to when I want them too.
I am glad you are feeling better.

Thank's Dave. That last note would be a slide but I actually hit the wrong note by accident and slid up to correct myself

Not being familiar with the music, I think it sounds pretty cool. It could be your rendition of Spanish Violin. I can say I knew you when....

Thanks's for writing that out Fiddlerman. The sheetmusic you guys are finding is a different key than what I found will give this version a go. I should probably listen to the song a few too. Never did listen to it. I havn't heard that song in years.
I can change it to any key you like in a matter of seconds with Finale
And when I hit the record button for some reason House of the Rising Sun was in my head. I'm going to learn that song. (talking about my first post trying Scarborough Fair)

I am thinking of Don McLean's (SP?) Vincent (Starry Starry Night)

I'm not familiar with the tune, but I think you did great! Like the hmm at the end and there's no tongue sticking out this time!

Hey pky
You are improving with your facial expressions:) If you watched my face closely, you could see my pursed lips moving because I was counting the beats.
I'm giving up over the rainbow, amazing grace, and campbell's farewell to red gap, because I thought I'm so used to hearing what I play that i can't hear my own mistake anymore; maybe after I stopped playing those songs for a while, then get back on them, i will hear them better. I just started practicing the swanlake finale and violin 4 and 3 on the Christmas project. i'm also practcing my scales -- A major, D major, and G major. From my first post, i realized that I really should focus on practcing scales and that will help greatly with my intonation. I can't walk well yet, so I shouldn't run.

I did a search but couldn't find a free sheet music copy of Starry Starry Night.
Oh well.

Here is a young woman playing it on a Yamaha electric violin. It is a bit more of an upbeat version, but the effects she has dialed in makes it sound really nice

Cool,
Playing back to karaoke. I'm not sure that I like that sound but I have trouble finding a good sound for my electric fiddle too. Kind of has the sewing machine sound that I am allergic to. Reverb and some chorus is always a safe improvement as long as you don't over do it. Oliver posted a site where people post settings for the Zoom G1 effect box and I think it's a great idea. It would be a great idea for us to start a forum on effects that work with the fiddle. Those effects work better with guitars.

Yes please. And equipment. 
I don't have any effect pedals yet.. figured I should learn to play before fooling around with effects.

With my e-fiddle I use some reverb, just a touch of chorus and a hint of delay and it seems to take away the sewing machine sound. I didn't like her sound either but nice playing and she really gets into it.

I did post that site with ZOOM G1N settings but at the time I did not realize that the device comes with a big selection of pre-sets. Maybe 30 maybe more. I'm sort of working my way through the list. So far I've picked out 3 that I liked. Of course, most of the pre-sets are for hard rock and such. Probably good if someone is doing that kind of music.
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

What do you use with your E-fiddle MGN? You know your equipment.
