This was such a joy - it is SO validating to see to smile and nod as though you were actually hearing me play. You play this part so well it's even a little bit uncanny - at some point I felt this sudden sinking feeling to my stomach, as I had just caught myself picking my nose and my brain was suddenly shouting at me that I'd just done that in front of a real person talking to me over zoom or something. So, sorry for picking my nose in front of you sir, and SO MANY THANKS

😄 you can pick your nose anytime! No judgement here 🙂 That's one of the advantages of these video lessons. Here are some more play along videos to pick your nose to: kzread.info/head/PL6By1KZHRO2KHi59cupsiiPXU7tbyOZTw

This is great fun, just what I needed. Thanks !

You are amazing. I don't play the fiddle (and may never), but your joy is what's up! Thanks, Christian!

I taught irish fiddle to my son without me knowing to play. Now I d like to learn with you.

Thank you so much for your positive teaching online class. I play a Carvin 5 string bass in a church praise band. I have been playing bass for over 40 years. I started taking piano lessons a year ago. I just started taking violin lessons with a good teacher on February 20th of this year. I purchased a Fiddlerman Concert violin and I have been having such a fun time with it. I want to start playing the violin in the band by September. I am glad I found your sight. I am learning how to play country fiddle music from your teaching. Thank you for keeping it simple for a beginner violinist. Thank you again. Douglas

I love this guy and his music in a, manly / bluegrass / country kind of way. Thank you!

Hello Christian, I just discovered your channel. I want to thank you a lot for your smile and your pedagogy. I had an accident this summer on my left hand, and this is so inspiring to help recover with the violin ! Though I never played well, I got the pleasure to take the bow again tonight ! Cheers from France.

This is an excellent idea Christian. Thank you. Keep 'em coming. 👍

the bluegrass bonus i thought would be that ubiquitous G run with the chromatics and hammer-ons. that that’s starts on low G and runs up to high G.
