The Best Fiddlers on the Planet
This is a good issue. The master bluegrass fiddler Brian Wicklund is featured. We talked about his comprehensive course The American Fiddle Method. Destined to become a classic, this method provides the beginner with the elements needed to become a proficient fiddler. Based on many years of teaching experience, the author introduces the concepts and techniques that yields solid results.
With a degree in education and a knack for making difficult concepts simple, it was natural that he should become a master fiddle teacher. The waiting list for people wanting to learn from Brian grew to years.
In 1998, he turned his successful curriculum into the best-selling, American Fiddle Method which has sold over 100,000 copies. With a membership to AFM, you can learn from his Video Lessons anytime and anywhere. You can also learn from him in person with his online Live Courses or along side his hand-picked staff at a Fiddle Pal Camp!
He also teaches, Sally Goodin in the magazine
Above all, make it a great day All you need this summer

Hello fiddlers everywhere! This issue just came out and it’s a good one. It’s summer here in South Texas and it feels like it’s summer everywhere. This is a hot issue with some of the best fiddlers on the planet. For starters, there’s Lora Staples from Red Desert Violin. A wonderful performer and teacher. I interviewed Lora and it was an amazing conversation. Lora is teaching Jerusalem Ridge in this issue, and she really breaks it down. There is seven videos to this tutorial and every one is fantastic.
Next, the wonderful fiddler, teacher and composer, Natalie Padilla is featured in an exclusive interview I did with her. Natalie has much to say about fiddling, teaching, composing and all things about becoming a better musician. She teaches the tune, Cranberry Rock, the Burl Hammons classic.
To wrap it all up, the master himself, Vi Wickam, of [my]Talent Forge is featured in a one of a kind interview. It was so much fun talking with Vi and getting his perspective on all things, fiddling included. After Vi did his 365 Fiddle Tunes a Day a few years ago, he inspired many other fiddlers to do something similar. You can sign up and get all those fiddle tunes here: 365 DAYS OF FIDDLE TUNES
And check out Vi and Paul Anastsio’s new album Swinging at the Savoy

Update on CV-19
Greetings fiddlers. This is an update to the CV-19 that’s been plaguing the world. The update is, that although this CV-19 is a real threat, there are other threats that are far more sinister. I’m talking about bad intonation. That’s right.
This may be my biggest issue playing fiddle. My intonation is very bad. It’s also contagious. That’s why I’m listening to fiddlers with great intonation these days. One thing I’ve done is to put together the special Spring Issue of iFiddle Mag. I’ve gathered some of the best fiddlers on the planet to play and talk about what they did during this “pandemic”. Here are some of them: Justin Branum, Darol Anger, Katie Glassman, Shelby Eicher, Vi Wickam, Todd Ehle, Fiddlehed, and the list goes on.
Pick up a copy and listen to these fine players.
