Liked on YouTube: Odessa Bulgar (klezmer violin lesson)

Odessa Bulgar (klezmer violin lesson)
Odessa Bulgar is one of the most widely played klezmer tunes for the violin. In this lesson I demonstrate the melody, with on-screen sheet music, in both the lower and upper octave. I explain various klezmer violin techniques, such as the krekhts, the vibrato trill , downward glissandos, and ghost harmonics. A copy of the sheet music for Odessa Bulgar is available free to subscribers. See my email address below. I have a book "Exploring klezmer fiddle" published by Schott, with many tunes, a detailed description of klezmer scales and modes, ornamentation, history, and interviews with key contemporary players.

I have been using this for at least 20 years and have found it an invaluable tool. Recently they have greatly expanded the "Real Instruments", which enables me to reproduce, for example, the authentic Honky Tonk band sound here, or others such as Gypsy Jazz quintet, bluegrass band, Western Swing, Delta blues, and hundreds of other niche styles. It comes for Mac or PC, and in lots of different sizes and versions.Check it out with the links below!
