I am THRILLED to have discovered your lessons! You break it down and explain each step. I have always wanted to learn some licks by Stuff Smith, but couldn't find anyone to help me. And THERE YOU ARE! Thank you so, so much for all your videos!

Great to hear that, thank you!

Excellent. I am a retired guitarist, and not really interested in playing violin nor fiddle, but if I were, you’d certainly be the go to guy. Clear, concise and always a touch of humor. Well done, John Paiva

Thanks John!

Thank You for lesson. Chris has a real passion and knowledge that he likes to share with others. I willingly refer to films and his books. It was he who planted the seeds of hope and dreams of a beautiful violin playing. Best Regards

Thanks Michal!

Thank you for being an excellent teacher! I hope to meet you one day. Thank you for showing the basic notes through showing music and how to play them with your own interpretation. I personally struggle with music theory and you have shown a true shortcut to different learning styles. Please keep showing the music from my perspective is really helpful.

Sensacional! Este método utilizando as escalas pentatônicas como ponto de partida para a Improvisação me auxiliaram muito a lidar com a tensões no violão/guitarra. Próximo passo aplicar isto no violino, viva o blues viva o jazz.

Thank you thank you!!!! I was just wondering what the next step after being able to play the one octave pentatonic scale - aha!! ALL the notes available in 1st position - hilarious how tricky it can be - once I get better at that, I'll be back for the next step and this video will be rewatched several times, I'm sure!

So talented

[@ardatekinalp6663]

I learned playing violin in a very amateur manner from youtube videos. I can play the easy songs and unable understand your videos completely. What do you suggest and also thanks for this wonderful channel.

[@TheFiddleChannel]

Glad you're enjoying my videos. It might help to learn to read music. Take it slow and steady!

[@ardatekinalp6663]

@@TheFiddleChannel Thank you Sir. I am able to read but maybe should be more patient. Good day. Wish you the best.

Do you have a lesson in improvision using the chord notes within each chord change to build the improvised solo. I thank you for all you do for fiddling . Mike

[@TheFiddleChannel]

Hi Poppy. I have referred to this idea in some of my jazz videos, but haven't done one specifically on this. Did you have a particular song in mind?

[@poppyk1431]

@@TheFiddleChannel How about something simple like Red Wing in G major ,it has one or two accidental chords . It could be used as a template by fiddlers for other tunes. Thanks again and especially for this answer. Truman

[@TheFiddleChannel]

@@poppyk1431 Hi Truman. I did Redwing as part of the Western Swing part 3 video. though to be honest I can't remember what I did in that one. However, I'm considering a new video on that tune, and if so I will use your suggested approach.

[@poppyk1431]

[@thiagofinger1768]

Great video Chris. I follow you from Brazil. Which your book do you recommends for the begginer? I've been finish the first Suzuki book. Thanks.

[@TheFiddleChannel]

Hi Thiago. You might consider my book Beginning Jazz Violin. The first chapter covers all the basics of violin playing and reading music, before going on to easy exercises and pieces in jazz style.

[@miarosie]

Chris, can you use the pentatonic scale over the major for improvisation? Ie can you play G pentatonic improv on g major melody being played? I’m presuming you can …

[@TheFiddleChannel]

Definitely!
