5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Beginner's Fiddling DVD
This is an excellent instructional DVD for beginning fiddlers of all ages (especially adults). The DVD offers clear, step-by-step instructions to help beginners, including clear bowing and fingering instructions and a step-by-step process in learning tunes. What is also helpful is Mr. Leftwich first plays the tune, breaks it down into components, and then puts the fiddle...

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really for beginner violinists or fiddle players
I bought this video expecting to be able to learn how to play fiddle, as the description states "for beginners", but was disappointed to learn that you had to know EVERY thing about playing the violin before you could even attempt to learn these lessons.

This is an excellent instructional DVD for beginning fiddlers of all ages (especially adults). The DVD offers clear, step-by-step instructions to help beginners, including clear bowing and fingering instructions and a step-by-step process in learning tunes. What is also helpful is Mr. Leftwich first plays the tune, breaks it down into components, and then puts the fiddle tune back together at the end of the instructions. I am also grateful that the DVD includes sheet music for those of us who like the notation to help remember the tune

2.0 out of 5 stars not enough songs, November 29, 2010
This review is from: DVD-Learn to Play Old Time Fiddle- Lesson 1 (DVD)
I was dissappointed in this in that he doesn't teach enough songs. It wasn't a bad dvd, and I appreciated him teaching the EaEA tuning but not enough songs.

This is not for beginners. I have been playing a year and a half now and this is still a bit too much for me.
