Fiddle Chopping from scratch. Nine great grooves for rock, funk, jazz, latin and bluegrass.
In this fiddle tutorial, I describe and demonstrate fiddle chopping or, "the chop", from the most basic single chop to some complex funky grooves. I refer to numerous other fiddle chopping videos, particularly those by Casey Driessen and Darol Anger. I discuss the appropriateness of chopping in various contexts, and warn about the dangers of over-doing it. After explaining the history of chopping and the basic principles, I show 9 different chopping grooves; 1. The Casey Driessen Baseline Chop 2. The basic rock groove 3. The melodic rock groove 4 The threes pattern 5. The Bo Diddley pattern 6. The basic Latin groove 7. The Clave 8.

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!
