Western Swing fiddle was a
Western Swing fiddle was a style pioneered in the 1930's and 40's, combining elements of country and jazz. In this fiddle lesson I demonstrate the ways in which simple dance tunes can be given a western swing treatment through use of added quavers to give swing, open string and fourth finger drones to give a western sound, grace notes such as hammer-ons to decorate the melody, and shuffles to add drive and danceability.
I use the tune Red River Valley to illustrate all these techniques.
This video is part one of a series of three; part two will introduce swing bowing and the basics of improvisation, while part three will look at modified melodies, contest-style, and hot soloing using standard Western Swing licks.
