I've been playing fiddle for 30+ years, but mostly traditional Irish music, New England contra, etc. Never liked the way I played old time music because it never sounded like old time music. This is a complete game-changer!! Never too old to learn new tricks :) thank you!

Fiddlehed is easily the most underrated youtube channel. Keep on doing what you're doing fiddlehed <3

Hey Fiddlehed!
THANK you ever so much for all the new tips and tricks. You are an amazing, gifted, wonderful teacher of ALL teachers! You're the Best teacher, EVOH!!
We want to let you know how much we appreciate all the hard work you put into creating these incredibly unique videos for us. Your teaching style is truly exceptional, light years above and beyond other tutors,
and your genuine kindness, humility, and sincerity shine through in every video.
You teach like you WANT us to learn. You make your lessons 101. YAY!! You're always mindful that some of us are learning.
We humbly, graciously, kindly inquire if we may propose a teeny tiny request, though - do you think you could encourage us in a slightly different way?

We recently watched a video where the teacher mentioned that using phrases like "it is hard, very hard" can make students feel tense, anxious, and fearful, hindering their ability to improve. Instead, will you consider framing challenges as "advanced but achievable"? We believe this change in perspective will really help all of us trying to master these techniques. We are incredibly grateful for all you do, and we hope you know how much we admire, respect, and appreciate you. Thanks a quadrillion million! Appreciate you! Keep up the fantastic work! WE. LOVE. YOU! Be blessed. 🤗 ❤

You are a gifted wonderful teacher! Everyone on Youtube is so lucky to have your teachings available to us all! You clearly have an excellent education in music, but not everyone can teach as you do! Thank you. . .from the heart that lives within my violin/fiddle! P.S. The Waltz's are Great too!!

some lessons just make so much sense of so much else ... this was one of them. I'll be accenting all over the damn place now :)

I have never played a fiddle, but I have a decent one ordered, and I can't wait to start learning. I am a gigging lead & rhythm guitar player, and I hope some of what I know about guitar strums and playing by ear crosses over to fiddle playing. I can picture fiddle lines out in my head, but I don't know how that will work out in actual practice. I'll know soon!

You have a really captivating Rami Malek vibe and I am here for it.

[denisestrickland]

When I first started, I wish I had you for a teacher. I’ve learned so much more by watching, using your video lessons and my self teaching books. I paid way too much for lessons in the past. Thank you for ALL the help😁👍

[mariemorris]

Thanks for being found you loosing you the other really means new endeavor for time Morris

[LohTek]

I kept hearing that in every cajun folk song I listened to and I could not for the life of me figure out that sound.. well here it is!! Thanks FiddleHed :D

[XxSEETHRxX]

This is something I've been working on for a while. Getting that good old time sound.

[mustangramblers]

You are a born teacher. Best fiddle lessons on YouTube. Thank you so much.

[SylvainTexier-dm]

Hey Jason, as usual since I started my fiddle journey with you, that lesson splits complex technics in basic parts that I am able to practice efficiently. Thank you so much 💯

[AusyG]

Wow I haven't watched 5 minutes of this video and tried that trick. I didn't think I could make a simple song like "you are my Sunshine" sound better and yet I gave it a rhythm that really makes you want to tap your foot.

[jerrychaput]

Very good teaching my friend Aloha !! I have enjoyed this lesson

[greenshp]

Need this so badly! Do more on bowing patterns! Thanks, Fiddlehed!
