  • There are a thousand and one lessons out there on "how to play fiddle" and "scales for violin", but none of them teach you the actual secrets for how to turn this into real live fiddle solos at a jam session. That's what this lesson teaches you! You will learn how to construct a "pentatonic scale", and then add in the blues notes to get that sizzling bluegrass sound. We'll go over all the tricks for improvisation note for note, including using rests, string skipping, riffs and licks, with lots of play-along examples to make it fun and easy! Then at the end of the lesson we give you full-band backing tracks to play along with, which makes learning super easy! All of our full lessons at JamAlong come with sheet music and TAB, and audio backing tracks to practice to. Get started today on learning how to play smoldering fiddle solos at the next jam!

    Woah! 🙏🏼 This is really useful and well constructed for simple understanding. You’ve done such a great job! Loved how you helped me see it clearly and explain things that many other teachers skip over/or don’t know. Thank you! 🎻 I’m heading straight for your course. ⭐️🙏🏼

    I love it I'm going to give it a try when I get time. Only thing is I can't read music to good.

    There are two confusions I get by looking at the scales at 3:07 an 3:40. _First_: the key in both systems should be G-major. That means there is an F-sharp at the beginning of the system and not only before the 7th note at __3:07__. That would make the _Second_ scale at 3:40 more clearly, because the 7th note is now not F-flat, which is wrong (that would be E), but F-natural. If you'd explain the whole thing with C-major, there would be less confusion. The blue-note-scale in C is: 1=C 2=D b3=E-flat 3=E 5=G 6=A b7=B-flat (1)=8=c - (Correct me if I'm wrong!) Because the key of C-major has no flats or sharps, you can see the blue notes more clearly.

      Speaking as a fiddle teacher, G major is an easier key to teach to beginners because of the patterns on the strings and the open strings correlating with the root, fourth and fifth. C major is a more difficult key on the violin, it isn't taught to beginners. Another reason is that most jam session tunes are in G major, it's more practical.

      Almost never play in C.

      Cool :)
      I play in church accompanying singers a lot,
      I can improvise a little,
      I usually improvise at home, and then write down all the good improvisation as fill in lines for the voice songs, but this takes forever,
      Usually when I am playing I will at least have the key and the chords in front of me,
      Will this course help me to improvise fill ins to vocal music from the chords? And give me an idea of how to do this without chords? :)
      It's a skill I hope to learn :)
      What is contained in the course?
      How many lessons will there eventually be in the series altogether? :)
