Masterclass! We don't come across such music very often...! I'm glad I did!! And the way he started it slowly!! Makes me want to learn the fiddle!

Absolutely amazing ❤🎉 miss my Aunt so so much ❤xxx Forever grateful Adam ❤❤

Thanks Adam...Such a sublime tune, still makes my heart sing ..

awesome! Thank you :)

Absolutely beatuiful! Scottish fiddle is always so beatuiful to hear

Creativity yes

Metallica are on the phone now!

Wow, sentía que estaba en un entorno medieval. Me gusta :D

Nice to see you play last weekend at Skye Live

what is the name of this tune?

👌

Music Fun 🤩

I want to know what’s on the small telly on the end of the fiddle? 😊

sounds familiar😊

Difficulty in blending the A part reel with a B part Middle East/Klezmer vibe,perhaps needing a bridge between , or even separating them into 2 different tunes? Definitely worth developing, and appreciate the candour of the process.😊

Will 100% check out your Patreon, didn't know you were doing that! I play fiddle and accordion and have composed a few tunes about 10 years ago, more French bal folk, but the neo folk scene in France/Belgium loves the kind of tunes you produce, so I'm interested as well :)

I’ve just started doing some terrible double stopping, so will give this a try tonight if the kids go to bed early enough! Thank you for these videos!

Towards the end, the sound changed. I don’t know if it was just by brain tuning into it more, but I started to hear each sound that makes up the note

I’m in seven minutes in and I think the rest of my day will be in G. I think it’s a great idea, think my wife would wrap the fiddle around my head of I attempted this while she’s home though!

I go to your class adam

Hi adam

Being ok with not being good at something is definitely a big problem for me, so this was a good reminder of that as well!

Ideas deserving of further development from this very engaging exchange between Simon and yourself;business models, solo or band, education in situ and online, age groups , levels of ability and much more. Most enjoyable with the promise of more to come.

Thanks for this to you both. Loved it.

Aw, these harmonies on The Battle of Waterloo! 😁

Sgoinneil!

Well that was very good and don't the two of you look so smart 🙅🏼

👍👍👍 Enjoyed that.

Gotta play that Melbourne tune! Good at all the speeds.

🌷Thanks for a great session , Adam. Serendipity to find this video. A brilliant antidote to a dreich Ayrshire day. I’m looking forward to more from your channel.🌷

Entertaining and informative, great show. Love the “Melbourne” duet to finish 🎻🎻

Can't wait to get practising this tomorrow! Such reassuring instruction too. Many thanks, Adam.

Excellent. You touched on 'lovin it'... I think this positivity and having the ability to smile at our musical incapacities is key to improvement. Letting our brain defrag is always good. Oh, for the record, I think a bit of chat keeps things personable in a 'I want it yesterday' world. ;))

Matur suksma😊

The thing that really kicked up my ability to play double stops under control was actually spending lots of time doing son filé exercises, just playing a single open string with the bow moving as slowly and consistently as possible. For whatever reason after a month or two at that the double stops were easy. By the way, your video quality is set quite low, meaning we can't enjoy your smiling face in high definition.

Maintaining even pressure on slow up and down full bows, almost a relief to change angle for double stops. This is going to improve my overall bow control. Thank You .

Thanks Adam, I especially liked the ‘being ok’ with not being able to do it

Attention seeker destined for a successful TH-cam career.👶

There was a spike in viewers retention, according to analytics - at the moment I stopped playing LOL

Keep the videos coming, Adam... these are helping building tone... and confidence. Thank you

Thank you Adam.I started learning the fiddle three years ago. Something I've always wanted to do. I'm in my sixties. I'm learning by the SUZUKI method which is all classical which I love, but i love the Scottish tunes I grew up with more. Anyway, i'm on Suzuki book 4 and the double stops are killing me. I have felt so stupid, which is an alien feeling for me as learning anything has come so naturally all my life... except the violin, which is a challenge! With your short video, I am thinking i am on the way to mastering double stops. Thank you.

Spooky, youtube is listening to my practice! This year I am spending much of my time on bow and bowing, and keeping a journal. I have been doing almost exactly as your vid, slow bow, open strings and swapping pairs. Been doing about 20 mins each session for two weeks and it is improving very slowly. Like everything fiddle, its never a quick fix. Great vid, thank you! ;))

masih jadi masalah bagiku, apalag saat memainkan senar 5 , begitu susah menemukan fifth di senar C & G

Slipped into a habit of using brute force via extra weight on the bow to remove the angle of adjacent strings. Maybe get away with it on lively jigs and reels , but get found out on airs and other quieter tunes. Will now retrain following your guide and stop enforcing mistakes by repetition.

Abbreviated version certainly works on “Mary Leaps In” with the sustained bass notes adding a great vibe.

By coincidence, the wonderful Anton Petrov uploaded a video yesterday relevant to sound within our cells! Not just the effect of standing near a muckle bass speaker or within a transformer room, but the vibrations produced ( from breast cells in the research) It could explain why the key A is known as the happy key, be it at 440 or 432 Hz.
