Liked on YouTube: 20 blues violin licks for "House of the rising Sun"; a blues violin lesson.

20 blues violin licks for "House of the rising Sun"; a blues violin lesson.
In this blues violin lesson, I show the basic melody of the traditional song "House of the Rising Sun", made famous by The Animals in 1964. I then show 20 licks or riffs that you can use when soloing over the chord sequence. I explore the minor blues scale, the minor pentatonic scale, licks in first and third positions on the violin, the use of very simple repeated licks, false harmonics on the violin, and licks with a 6/8 feel which cuts across the 3/4 time signature. This is one of a series of videos I have posted explaining and demonstrating blues violin techniques, many of which cross over into rock, jazz, country and bluegrass fiddle styles. If you'd like to learn this style of violin/fiddle playing, look at my books "Exploring Jazz Violin" and "Discovering Rock Violin" To look at or buy these or my other books, go to https://bit.ly/32B9IiF I also have an online jazz violin course on Musicgurus. It comes in two parts, each including 26 short lessons. Course 1 covers swing bowing, scales and finger patterns, playing and developing a melody, using riffs, pentatonic and blues scales, and the playing styles of Grappelli and Venuti. Part 2 covers chords, 251’s, the cycle of fifths, chord substitution, and the playing styles of Stuff Smith and Jean luc Ponty. Parts 1 and 2 are both just $30 each! Please use the following link if you're interested; https://bit.ly/3iVwt7p There are a couple of free lessons you can try out before buying. If you would like a copy of the 20 blues licks, the basic melody, along with the chord sequence, subscribe then email me at haighchris@hotmail.com.
