This course by Ryan Thomson is designed for learners with little or no experience with fiddle or violin playing. The DVD teaches bowing patterns, rhythms, scales, and several easy tunes including celtic and bluegrass styles and includes topics such as tuning, practicing, holding the instrument, learning by ear, and diagrams which
