@@WizardofAdsOnline Thank You!

@@amightyfriendlymountain You're welcome!

Hi Phil! What I'm playing here is generally improvised, but there are a lot of phrases, or variations that I have more or less standardized, and play similarly when I play that variation. The sheet music transcription that's included with the full version of this lesson is based off of how I played it this one time. :)

Thanks, Bernard!

Thanks, Deb! :)

With the advanced lessons, they are more of a slowed down demonstration. I expect that advanced players will be able to learn from a slowed down demonstration. For our beginner, and intermediate lessons, there is much more breaking down a tune to the sections and details of it. Those beginner and intermediate tunes usually also have sheet music or tablature to make them easier to learn.

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

How cool is that!

Hi Sam, My grandmother Estelle Massey (Johnson) brother.

Thanks Susan! It's our pleasure to create these lessons. I'm so happy that our lessons have been helpful to you! Fiddle on! Vi

Hi Arthur, If you want the full lesson of this tune, including sheet music, you have 2 options. The first one you have identified. For $30 a month, you can access over 700 lessons on the MyTalentForge.com website. Or, if you just want to have the lesson and sheet music for one tune, you can get those for $10 a piece. When you buy a single lesson, your access is not tied to a 30 day time limit. You get it for as long as our site is in existence. My Talent Forge has been around for more than 10 years at this point. And, you are right, we have some lessons that are free, as well. And, it's hard to make living by only giving away music lessons for free. ;)

@@Mytalentforgecom Thanks, I'll keep this email, for future reference. I use to pay a lot more for lessons, but now have been playing for 27 years, so don't want to pay for regular lessons, at least. I'm going to try and find the sheet music for that tune you played, which is really great.

@@arthurzengeler6909 You can probably find sheet music to Salt Creek for the basic melody for free. And, if you want my arrangement of it, you know where to find it. ;) Best wishes!

Suksma Mewali!

You're welcome, Elizabeth! :)

The tune is in the key of D minor, which means that most of the B's are going to be Bbs. However, there are times where there's a pedal down from a C (CBC) where I will use a B natural accidental. The accidental adds tension. You can play a Bb there instead and it will work OK, but it will be a little more pedestrian sounding.

I'm glad you are getting to learn it! :D

Awesome!

Yes, sponges can help! I use a KUN for my viola. ALSO, please know that it's possible to purchase extra long feet for the KUN. I typically use the normal size for the foot that's closest to the neck and a long for the one that's further away. I use a Wolf Forte Secondo for my violin, but substitute KUN feet. The Wolf shoulder rests allow you to spin the inner screw out, which gives some additional height possibility. It sounds like you need to adjust the metal bar to make the overall width narrower. Here's a link to purchase long KUN feet: www.thesoundpost.com/en/store/accessories/violin/shoulder-rests/kun/kun-accessories/kun-foot-extra-long-4-4-3cm?curr=USD&gclid=CjwKCAjwloCSBhAeEiwA3hVo_XAlG0dq9x8-hTtUR1RK-Xehd94ESNonyY47gjqQQQC2aS5R8WBo_BoCH28QAvD_BwE All the best!

@@docwallacemusic Ah thanks for this David. I was actually happy with my KUN rest apart from the height. Got in touch with the supplier (couldn't trace the manufacturer) and my Wolf is now 'operable' but it's still not quite right. Took forever with the differing adjustments and yes, I learnt that its the feet furthest away from the neck that need to be longer. The ones at the neck would be fine with KUN feet. So looking into longer feet would/could solve the problem. Wot a palava... but it has to be comfortable - there's enough aches from twisting my wrist atm.

You're welcome, Andy! :)

You're welcome!

Excellent! After 2 weeks of doing this exercise daily, I want to know how it has impacted your boing! :)

Thanks, Doc!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Hi David, Take your time with it. Start by immobilizing your upper arm so that all of your movement has to come from your forearm and lower. Once you can play like this for a little while then you can immobilize your forearm so that all of the motion has to come from your hand. :) When you have mastered that, then you are a jedi. ;)

Ya welcome

That's high praise, D-Ro. Thanks!
