20 licks for Minor Swing (gypsy jazz violin)
Minor Swing, written by Django Reinhardt, is one of the most widely played of all Gypsy Jazz tunes. In this Violin lesson lesson I demonstrate 20 licks that you can use when soloing over the Minor Swing chord sequence. The licks are categorised; arpeggio licks, harmonic minor licks, minor blues licks, chord substitutions, original Grappelli licks and so on. I show how in many cases the licks can be repeated over different chords, either with or without transposition. I also show how they can be modified rhythmically or melodically to make the improvisation more flexible and creative. Below are details of further fiddle resources from Chris Haigh 1. Patreon 2.

The Krekhts (Klezmer violin lesson)
The Krekhts is a "sob" produced by a flick of the fourth finger just as a note is finishing. It emphasises a note, and adds emotion and authenticity to the klezmer fiddle sound. In this lesson I demonstrate the technique, show various exercises, and play it within the context of a slow Bessarabian Hora. Below are details of further fiddle resources from Chris Haigh 1.
