For Sale: Stage Performance Guide For Bluegrass Bands - $15 USD

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 13:16 CST

If you want your band to be more successful (and get more gigs), here’s an important question to ask yourself... Why should someone buy a ticket and come to your live show? People don’t generally buy tickets to a live performance ONLY to hear music. The go because THEY WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED! They want to have a great time and experience something special and unique IN ADDITION TO THE SONGS. If an audience wanted to ONLY listen to music they could stay home and listen to a CD. But they want more than that. They go to your live show to SEE YOU perform your songs... HEAR what you have to say between songs... emotionally CONNECT with you... LAUGH with you... get to KNOW YOU BETTER... and ultimately BE ENTERTAINED. AND THAT'S WHERE MOST BANDS FAIL. Think about it for a moment. How many bands have you seen that play good music but the audience never really gets “into” the performance. It's painfully obvious that these bands don't understand what it takes to connect with the crowd. The thing that will separate your band from the competition is your ability to make a meaningful connection with the audience and thoroughly entertain them. At a live performance, what goes on IN ADDITION to the music is at least as important as the songs themselves. Of course your songs are EXTREMELY important, but there is so much more you can do to engage the audience. You’ll get more gigs, sell more CDs, make more money, and have a lot more adoring fans if you make a meaningful connection with your audience. Too many bands start out focusing on their songs and never get beyond just “making music”. This book will help you develop an engaging stage presence. It contains no fluff... just 60 pages of hard-hitting information you need to take your band to the next level. THINGS LIKE... ** How to grab the audience by their emotions and MAKE THEM LOVE YOU! (If they don’t like you IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER HOW GOOD A MUSICIAN YOU ARE.) ** How to exude confidence on stage without appearing arrogant. (You MUST get this right!) ** How to get over stage fright so you can perform with power and confidence. ** How to use comedy to really connect with the audience... and how it will hurt your show if you don’t do it right. ** What to do if something goes wrong on stage so you don’t embarrass yourself. ** And the #1 most important thing you must know for your band to be successful (and, as you might guess, it’s not about the music). ** Plus a whole lot more! The book is available in PDF format or printed version for $15.00 USD, and comes with a 100% money back, no-questions-asked guarantee.

For Sale: Jazz Fiddle Wizard (Norgaard) - $10 USD

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 13:42 CST

The cover is clean, but it has a little bit of wear. CD has some light scratches. If you're interested in improvising, you might find this book helpful. I haven't outgrown it--FAR from it--but my interests have shifted and it's time to pass it on. When I used it I found it both helpful and enjoyable.

For Sale: Waltzes, Airs and Haunting Melodies Video (Ungar) - $5 USD

eric@fiddlehangout.com — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 13:26 CST

This is a good old-fashioned video that I bought used. It comes with a paper insert that includes sheet music for the tunes that are taught (Tombigbee Waltz, Tennessee Waltz, Southwind, Si Bheag, Si Mhor, Ashokan Farewell, Give Me Your Hand) and it's very useable but it has a stain on the front. Maybe someone spilled coffee on it?

All the way from setting up your own violin to understanding how to combine all of the elements that are required to becoming an accomplished violinist or fiddler. Most importantly, you will develop a solid foundation by learning correct positioning from the start, which, in turn, ensures that learning to play violin and fiddle tunes is fun and easy. Learning to play violin/fiddle has always been considered one of the most difficult journeys a beginning musician can ever take. Fortunately, with the techniques illustrated in this video, you'll find the journey far easier than imagined. All of the lessons are taught visually so that all you have to do is watch and learn."
