Intermediate Bluegrass Fiddle
Let’s get some fiddling done! Over the week we will examine the giants of the genre and dissect what it means to play bluegrass fiddle! We will examine solos and key licks that are cornerstone to the style, as well as double stops, blues, slides and how to create your own solos around the melody. We will explore the fiddlers of bluegrass past so we can get a real strong understanding of back up and the archetypal role of the fiddle in a band or jam setting.
