I LOVE swing fiddle. And while your video gives beginners a good start there is so much more that could be said of this unique style. Here are some thoughts I might mention: > Obviously swung 8ths (in a 2-1 ratio), as you mention (you could think of it as a 'skipping' rhythm). > Lots of chromaticism. In approach and passing notes, for example. > Lots of syncopation. > Beyond 'ghost notes', deliberatly skipping some notes, to let the music breathe. > Liberal use of short slides and shifts (a 'shift' is kind of like a sudden slide). > Use of off beat accents, where you really dig with the bow to get that 'crunchy' sound. Yes, the sound classical violinists work so hard to avoid - LOL.
@@MusicGurus thank you very much, its new for me to play the violin. i play guitar fo the last 30 years, i know all the scales and modes,On the violin, the fact that i was used to play with freted instrument did not help at first. i need to adjust the fine tuning of my fingers with my ears now, i try to get the bow hand thing naturaly by play with it all the times but i realy want and need to get some exercise to save time. thank you very much. what a fabulous instrument.
This is literally what i was looking for
same here
Brilliant lesson Chris Thanks.
After 50 years of straight fiddle playing you've made the penny drop for me 🎻🎶🎻🎶🎻🎶🎻
This is just fantastic! Thanks!
I have your book and these videos are a great addition. Though I've played for decades, I'm just getting immersed in jazz techniques. Love it!
Brilliant! Thank you.
Very helpful. Thank you.
magic, will be practising this!
Very clear thanks
