2 note chord shapes for the fiddle
Guitarists learn a finger shape for every chord. In this lesson I show how fiddle players can do the same thing, using two-note finger patterns. The easiest pair of notes to find has the root on the top, and the third below, on the next string down. Using this finger pattern it is very easy to change from major to minor, by lowering the lower note by a semitone. I also show how to find adjacent patterns for the I,IV and V chords. These techniques are useful for fiddlers in a variety of contexts; accompaniment with off- beat chops; long notes in country music; shuffles in bluegrass or old time, backing in Gypsy music, or rock accompaniment. I have numerous fiddle book published by Schott; To look at or buy these and my other books, go to bit.ly/31ZWmgm ________________________________ Exploring Jazz Violin USA https://amzn.to/3i3qPPM​ UK https://amzn.to/2HjUpnt​ Beginning Jazz Violin USA https://amzn.to/3cr5Cy2​ UK https://amzn.to/3crqEwy​ Exploring Folk Fiddle USA https://amzn.to/32YFUhc​ UK https://amzn.to/33ZpxR1​ Discovering Rock Violin USA https://amzn.to/3kONQHV​ UK https://amzn.to/2RY88Tb​ Exploring Klezmer Fiddle USA https://amzn.to/32ZgYXd​ UK https://amzn.to/3mRKdCX​ French Fiddle Tunes USA https://amzn.to/330NeJa​ UK https://amzn.to/363850D​ Hungarian Fiddle Tunes USA https://amzn.to/32Xu7ji​ UK https://amzn.to/33YnsEO​ ________________________________________________ I have two sets of professional subscription online videos Exploring Jazz Violin, produced by MusicGurus https://bit.ly/3iVwt7p​ More about my jazz violin course on Musicgurus: It comes in two parts, each including 26 short lessons.
