One of the first tunes that I have been working on while starting to learn how to play the fiddle. Still needs work, intonation is not perfect tend to be a little sharp and flat and keep catching some of the other strings with the bow. Any friendly criticism is welcomed.

Good tone and intonation. Thank you for posting.

Chuck's right - that's pretty good for someone just starting out.
Sounds like you've definitely got an ear for it - all that's needed now is to keep at it.

Sounds better than I did when I first started. I think your intonation is good, and don't worry too much about the extra string strikes, before too long you'll be wanting to hit them!

Thanks Chuck, OTJ and Brad. I think that playing other instruments that are melody based and the many years that I had spent in choir has helped developed my ear (although I do still find it difficult to play completely by ear still need that sheet music when starting off, although I usually leave it behind fairly fast). Hoping that I will be able to find a teacher in the local area by the time I am ready to start on some more advanced techniques.
