Blues from scratch no 2- an introduction to playing blues violin

The "blues from scratch" series of video will introduce blues violin from first principles, starting at a very basic level- in fact with just one note over one chord! This second video uses just three notes-the root or tonic, the flat 7th and flat 3rd notes. We try out two-measure licks using these notes, and show how they can fit over the changing chords of a 12-bar blues sequence. Each of the videos in the series will have an extended backing track at the end. A free pdf of the exercises in this lesson is available to subscribers (see below).
