How to Play Hurdy-Gurdy - Section 1 - Instrument Basics & Posture

Hey everyone! This is the first in a series of videos we will be providing for beginner players. I've had a lot of students asking me to go over these basics, so me and Max figured it would be a good idea to produce a set of videos with step-by-steps that can help everyone. If you like this video and want to know more, subscribe and then you'll get notifications on the next one. We will be going through everything from the basics beginner level hurdy-gurdy startup stuff all the way to music theory, sight reading, and more! If you have any thing in particular that YOU want to see or have explained - leave us a comment on that.
