Never played the fiddle but I want one to mess around with so bad lol I’m from cape breton ns.. we have the worlds largest fiddle at our ship terminal.. listen to the mull River shuffle.. lots of great fiddlers from cape breton
A better way to call it is A mixolydian mode omitting the 2nd and the 6th scale degree. You will find the violin player for the group Shakti plays it in a different context (Indian based music)
This is a very popular sound frequently found in more contemporary bluegrass. Lots of fiddlers in this style use it when they improvise and you don’t really hear it pop up in other styles of music. It is unique to bluegrass, sounds interesting over most diatonic chord progressions, and can be used without much skill in playing over changes with a favorable result. The video is a “short” (a format created by CZcams), so I don’t go into extreme detail because of the time constraints. It’s meant be obvious to those who’ve heard the sound of the scale without categorizing it or to stoke the curiosity of those who don’t recognize it for further investigation.

Ain't no way I'm pulling that off
Notice how little his fingers move when going fast. You can do it!

Mike Cleveland showed me a really similar lick!🎻🔥
I'd think of this as a mixolydian lick. Charlie Daniels loved mixolydian...
I love the fiddle
Any recommends on scale and exercise books? Cheers
👍 good stuff
I can't do that to save my life
This is so nice! Thank you! Would you mind to show how you got that fast bowing on that pattern? 🖖🖖🖖
Very cool
No 4th finger needed
Maybe would need if playing in other keys
Can anybody explain to me what blue grass improv is and why this is a good trick for it? It looks fun to learn but I don’t understand the title
