How to Play Back Up Chords On the Fiddle (Part 4) - Technique Lesson 

You are soooo helpful. Thank you from minnesota.

the lesson on chords is very inportant in fiddling , thanks for your lessons, awesome

Jason, thank you so much your teaching programme absolutely brilliant, I've just starting to learn 3 months now and I've learned so much watching your videos. Man keep up the good work

I'm glad you said "play single notes then combine them".......................Thanks

Was looking to learn to play chords for back up. So glad to find you. Your instructions are so clear and gentle manner is so comfortable. I am learning so much. Many thanks😊👍🎻

Absolutely wonderful teaching method. Fantastic. However, can you tell me how I get to see your postings that you indicate you put in your comments section?

I really enjoy your tutorials. They are succinct and to the point!

Great videos thanks, just put my mandolin to one side and bought a fiddle -and loving it! For the chords you can take any note in the scale of the tune you want to play, and to play IT'S fifth you play the next string higher at the same 'fret'. To play IT'S fifth below which sometimes sounds better, you just play the lower string two frets up. And to play it's third, you play the lower string one fret down OR if you want to play it as a minor chord (or minor double stop as fiddlers call it) then you play your note along with the lower string note two frets down. If you think of it in terms of position you don't even have to know if it's E or D sharp whatever. I really appreciate the vids thanks again.

thanks again, Jason. Your approach and descriptions are so helpful. You make it simple and attainable. I'm having fun. :)

I have learned so much just watching these chord videos! Now to go practice

I wish there was a Go-Pro mounted so you can see the bow on the strings - the angles

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now I can use chords!!!!!!!!!!

backup chord lesson series very helpful. thanks but I'm unable to find your sheet music or play alongs or register using smart phone. Help

Mr fiddlehead thanks for all your great videos. Is there a book or chart anywhere that has these shapes to refer back too? Can’t seem to find anything.

u r my hero

Thank you !!

... or if you wish a I and a IV whitch is also a chord. As long as you don't specify the III, it can be either major or minor.

Thank you for excellent videos - I have learned a lot in a small space of time. Didn't quite get the B major chord. Do we need 7th chords like B7?

Hi Fiddlehed, Thanks for all your hard work teaching us tricks. What strings do you use, here's a nice list that I can choose from, www.violincompany.co.uk/strings.php have you tried any of these ? I prefer a warm sound. PS is there any NEW Videos of you playing Gigs that we can access on youtube ?

I got a ? If the is music that has on it as well how would you do stuff like A7 or D7

Why do I need to know the word: Power Chord? Why is the word important? Gives it some extra meaning besides that I know that the chord consists of a I and a V, isn't that enough to know? Otherwise you teach good stuff. Thank's
