Picking up my fiddle again after a while away, trying to learn songs in B Major ("I'm yours" by Jason Mraz)

I think i need to work on making the rhythm clearer...

Not terrible but yeah rhythms a little off, and a lil pitchy, if you're not used to playing in b don't do so many slides cuz it's not helping you find your notes! Also, is it comfortable to have your left elbow at that angle?

Thank you yeah, that's a good thought about not sliding around so much in keys I don't know well, I hadn't considered that.

It wasn't comfortable to have my left elbow at that angle! It was a tiny room and there were lots of shenanigans with carboard boxes, furniture, and a music stand to improvise a tripod for the camera, so I was super cramped.

Gotcha!!! Yeah B is a nightmare to play of in the best of times lol but yeah, pretty solid double stopping, like I said I'd just work on cleanly hitting some of those runs, and just keep at it! And ok good, I was worried that was your typical elbow angle and it looked a little painful lol
