Liked on YouTube: Cooley's Reel & The Musical Priest

Cooley's Reel & The Musical Priest
Two reels which I decided to play slightly slower than normal and to a rather funky beat. I originally recorded this set of tunes in late 2003 and they still sound quite fresh. I used a 'fishman pre-amp and piezo pick up', on an old French violin which was given to me by a neighbour. The first tune is called Cooley's Reel and was composed by a well known Irish box player called Joe Cooley. The second tune is normally played in a higher key, but on my version I chose to play the Musical Priest in a lower key and in a slightly more folk rock way. I hope you enjoy this track and the few photos' I took when I visited Northumberland on holiday.

Celtic Fusion. A fiddle lesson on crossover of Celtic with rock, jazz and bluegrass.
A fiddle lesson showing how to take a traditional Celtic tune and add elements of rock, jazz and bluegrass, to make a Celtic crossover or fusion style. Drawing on the style of players such as Martin Hayes and Ashley McIsaac, I look at various techniques not normally used in traditional Irish and Scottish fiddle playing. These include syncopation, using open string drones, blue notes, extended and distorted notes. I use the tune "Cooley's Reel" as an example.

Introduction to the II/V/I for jazz violin
The ll/V/I, or 2-5-1, or two-five one, is an essential part of most jazz chord sequences. In this video, I explain what it is, how to recognise it, and what to do with it. I also explain how, for a beginner improviser, why the ll/V/l is a welcome respite in what can often be difficult and confusing set of chords. If you're interested in learning to play jazz violin, see my books Beginning jazz violin and Exploring Jazz Violin. I also have a jazz violin video course with 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; Part 1: https://bit.ly/3iir3DT There are a couple of free lessons you can try out before buying. The course is based on my book "Exploring Jazz Violin", published by Schott. To look at or buy this or any of my other books, go to https://bit.ly/2NBgrFO I also strongly recommend the live online tuition course given by Christian Howes, one of America’s top jazz violinists and a former Berklee College professor.

A common question we get from new electric string players is whether they should use individual stomp boxes or a multi-effects unit. The answer is that each player is going to have to decide which is best for them and their situation. There are top touring pros who use multi-effects units and there are top touring pros who use individual stomp boxes. Both are completely legitimate ways to get your sound. We'll discuss the pros and cons of each set-up so you can make an educated decision about which is best for you!

Bach Chaconne | 64 Variations | Lawrence Power, Sharia Johnson, Héloïse Werner
Bach’s epic Chaconne was written shortly after the death of his beloved wife and forms part of one his most personal statements, SEI SOLO (‘You are alone’) a collection of compositions for unaccompanied Violin. In Bach’s Chaconne a seemingly simple 4 bar harmonic sequence repeats itself 64 times, almost like a musical necklace with each part of the chain more complex and captivating than the next. You can follow the variations as they progress in the numbers at the bottom of the screen. The Chaconne as a form, but this piece in particular, has fascinated and influenced music across the ages and continues to do so. In this film Lawrence Power performs on viola, accompanied by dancer Sharia Johnson and soprano Héloïse Werner. It is filmed live across five floors of the Barge House on London’s Southbank and is an exploration of light, time, companionship and solitude.

Yes, here, or hereabouts, they met To hold their racial talks and such To barter beads for Whitby jet, And tin for gay shell torques and such. But long and long before that time (When bison used to roam on it) Did Taffy and her Daddy climb That Down, and had their home on it. Then beavers built in Broadstonebrook And made a swamp where Bramley stands; And bears from Shere would come and look For Taffimai where Shamley stands.

Whiskey Before Breakfast is an old time fiddle standard. In this lesson I demonstrate how to play the tune, with ideas about bowing- such as using the Georgia Shuffle and the Drop Bow, and talk about using open string drones and syncopation. There will be much more like this in my book "Exploring Country and Bluegrass Fiddle" published by Schott, due out in late 2020. To look at or buy my other books, go to https://bit.ly/3lvRBDu I will be posting many more old time, country, western swing and bluegrass tunes on The Fiddle Channel; let me know if you have any requests! If you subscribe, I can send you a free pdf of the sheet music for Whiskey Before Breakfast. Contact me at; haighchris@hotmail.com. Also see my website at https://bit.ly/3jrBLb7 for huge amounts of information about every branch of fiddle playing

Kashmir, by Led Zeppelin (violin lesson)
Kashmir, by Led Zeppelin, has some classic rock riffs, and the modal and cinematic nature of the solo sections make it an ideal vehicle for rock violin. In this violin lesson I go through each section of the piece, suggesting different approaches. To learn more about rock violin, and the techniques demonstrated here, see my book Discovering Rock Violin, published by Schott. "A great achievement...fantastic book"- Mark Wood "I love the fact that your book features a lot of great players in the rock world who, many of whom I have always felt were underappreciated. This is something I was considering doing with my book, but instead I decided to focus on theory and techniques, which your book covers extensively as well. ...Thank you again for writing a book on a topic which is long overdue" -Joe Deninzon "If there's a more entertaining pedagogical book than this published in 2012 I'd like to see it. Chris Haigh celebrates the violinist in the rock band in an offering as full of laughs as a Spinal Tap concert" -David Lasserson.

Analysis of the Electric Violin Solo on "Ride or Die"
In this video, I share the transcription of my solo on my new single, "Ride or Die" and talk about what my thought process was on creating this solo. This solo was actually almost entirely improvised in the moment, rather than "written". I spent a few minutes figuring out exactly what I wanted to play in the last couple measures, but the bulk of the solo was a true improv and was pretty much one take.
