You can tell that …
You can tell that by the age of 60 David Kaynor has only 30 years of fiddle playing experience, coz it sounds poor.

If he had taken it up much younger then perhaps it would sound nice and authentic and sensitive to traditional styles.

ok. I’m surprised expert village allowed him to post these videos. There is nothing about learning how to play. Just him playing.

Should rename these videos “How David Kaynor Plays the Fiddle: _______”.

Doesn’t show much on how to actually play it, just has him bragging and making me jealous. :(

Ha ha in the US it’s spelled tire. Yeah that’s annoying. I’ve got “How to Cater a Meal: Peeling Lemons” and “Tattoo Machines and Guns: How to Run a Tattoo Parlor.”

Now I know why tattoo guys are almost always fat. They cater their own food.

Ive watched this a few times and keep getting the more from expert village on the right toolbar thing,”how to jumpstart a car”. and “car tire(spelt wrong its tyre) rotation tools”

If I wanted tuition on how to make a car tired and rotate it as well as the tools needed I would have looked it up.
