Well, I have an electric fiddle on extended loan to me, and I wanna learn a little bit about how to play it.... (Though I have little desire at this point to play 'fiddle chunes'... that might change however)

I did pick it up last night and in a few moments found the first few 'notes' of the melody for Northwest Passage.... Having played it on mandolin helped with 'placement'....

But any advice for someone who wants to saw away a bit would be appreciated.... I don't want this to end up another Tenor Guitar experience.... where every 3 months I take it out of the case, play for 5 minutes, and never progress past that....

I guess first I gotta get a "chin rest" thingy.... The bit that goes between the fiddle and your shoulder
