Even knowing a lot of the tunes, I love hearing a variation and the backup as well! Fabulous job putting it together. In fact, I'm going to be ordering a few more from you to give as gifts to friends.” Mat: “The playing is good, precise and done with a light touch... good teachin' material. The tempos of the band tracks are the kind you'd hear at a festival or dance; no pussyfooting… I'm happy. This is some decent tutelage and motivation to learn a tune a week. To the woodshed...” Tom: “Even if it takes the rest of my life to learn all these tunes each Fiddle Hell will be better because of it... This is a great resource and well worth the price!” Laquetta: “It is easy to hear the melody in both slow and fast versions… For the first time ever, I’m actually learning by ear and not frantically searching the Internet for a version of the sheet music that more or less matches the version of the tune I’m trying to learn… I really liked your slow versions. In the few days I’ve had the CDs, I’ve probably learned more about good playing techniques than I have in the year I’ve been learning… I can hear when you hammer on, pick up a string an octave below for resonance, or do slides or grace notes and the all the various things that add texture but can’t be heard at “full” slow speed. I can hear some of how the bow is used to create the effects. This is all stuff I’ve read about, but never really experienced. It’s been a real eye-opener.” George: “If you're looking for a nice mix of must-know tunes this is a great set of CD's. They are played at a modest tempo, very clear and well recorded and a VERY slow tempo as well. Each tune is played a couple times through and usually more ornamented each time around. All are accompanied by Dave’s family band. Most prominent being the piano, which is excellent. These CD's are as much a joy just to entertain as they are to learn from.” Willy: “Great arrangements with very clear fiddling. And although I'll probably never get to Fiddle Hell, this will be a good resource for me to expand my repertoire.” Posted with the eBay Android app
