I wrote this as a thank you to the incredible health care professionals that have been lookin' out for me for the past year or so. I thought that playing the violin only sounded a little thin against such a lush accompaniment, so I played it along with a 49-strings melody track - et voilà, it sounds almost Celtic Womanish to my ear! Here's the video: The Doctor's Care

Hi David, Is this your first post in the Users Showcase forum? I don't recall seeing your name pop up before. If it is your first post, a big "Welcome to the forum!"  You are right. Your composition definitely has a Celtic flavour. I enjoyed the journey and it was great watching you play violin. I hope that you are through the rough patch you allude to in your post. Doctors and modern medicine are amazing! All the best, Noel

That was a pleasant listen - thanks for posting! You recorded the violin 49 times? You've got the patience of a saint! I wish I sounded half as good as you - the last time I tried multi-tracking my violin, it sounded like a herd of screeching cats.

Wow, BIAB journeymen, experts and veterans responding to my post - I really respect you guys and gals!
Thanks for the vote of support everyone. I really appreciate it since I really don't have any fiddle tune writing experience. Can anyone point me to some literature about it or tune writing in general?
Noel, I think this is my 1st post in the User Showcase Forum. Thanks for the welcome, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the worst is behind me!
David, I didn't record the melody that many times - there's a 49 strings midi track in BIAB that I used.

Dave, I'm a fan of Berklee Press books. These are published by Berklee College, Boston, which many regard as the worlds leading tertiary institution in modern, popular and jazz music. A couple of books that I have, and recommend, are ... They are general books and apply to all instruments. Regards, Noel

It's great to always listen to something with a little bit of difference.
This is really nice. Easy to listen to, with a Celtic Flair for sure
Thanks again

Songwriting Hi Dave, That's a great course. Pat Pattison is recognised as one of the best in the business! It's definitely well worth taking. You'll find that this course is more about lyrics than melody. To be honest, though, when you start putting lyrics together, you'll find that melody becomes much easier. It will be worth the journey. The price is great too ($free)! All the best, Noel
