Thanks! I'm glad it helped!

Thank you , Elery! This finally makes sense. All the other teachers say emphasis on the first and fourth beat but as a newbie I don’t know what that means! Watching you play slowly helped me understand bowing: long, short, short is a much easier way to understand “emphasize 1st and 4th.” Thank you!

Yes, I wouldn't say the first and fourth beat. There's two main beats in a jig, divided into three microbeats. But you don't tap your foot ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX! You tap ONE two three TWO two three. The fancy way to describe this is "compound rhythm," but you can also say "JIGGety- JIGGety"

I just loved your sense of humor! ❤️ (🇧🇷)

Thanks!!! I try to keep the "play" in playing music.

Ellery thank you for your calm guidance through through bowing rhythms which take to the heart of a tune.

Hi. I've been playing fiddle for years. Never been very fluent in bowing a gig. Really good to get back to fundamental practice. Should have done this years ago.

Good heavens! You are the dead spit of my Aunt Nora, albeit much younger!!! Thanks for the video and the instruction!!!!

Thank you! Looking forward to the reel bowing technique, that's where I have more problems, especially with fast tempos.

Good info.

@@leif1075 Hi, don't worry so much about vibrato for fiddle, but if you want to learn, I stole the techniques of Doree Huneven for teaching my own students vibrato!!

Thanks-:)

Thank you for an excellent tutorial - very helpful for one picking up the violin again after decades of inactivity! You apologised for slurring some notes, but in fact I think those specific slurs add beautifully to the character of the jig, and also change the up-bow, down-bow sequence following. Practising without slurring initially could make it hard to later 'undo' the 'up/down' sequence that has become fixed in muscle memory. Your thoughts?

You are fabulous! Thank you for such a clear tutorial! I am practising your suggestions. May I ask - is it best to nail the patterns so you don't have to think about them, before introducing them to a tune? I ask because I tried the pattern (A,DD,A,D,A) and felt okay so tried introducing first on A or second on D and it went pear-shaped 😆
