Three Easy Bluegrass Fiddle Licks over the 1, 4, and 5 chord

Practice fiddle licks over multiple chords in order to get the most out of your practice!

This is so cool Austin! I find it hard to find licks on KZbin that are easy enough to learn and that allows you to fool around with them, especially for learning how to improvise on the fiddle!👌

[@64bluegrass]

Have you tried the National Fiddler Hall of Fame lick(s) of the week? When I started bluegrass, these were helpful.

[@AustinScelzo]

@@64bluegrass oooh I haven't heard of this! I'll check it out!

[@AustinScelzo]

Thank you! The key is to find licks that are not key specific- often times people show or teach fancy moments in a tune rather than one that serves across multiple keys - I always look to present "All purpose licks" first in my teaching

[@superalvedon97]

@@AustinScelzoAbsolutely, I’m mostly playing banjo at the moment but I really want to reach that point when I can fool around with some “all purpose” licks. Great video Austin😁

[@superalvedon97]

@@64bluegrassNo I haven’t, but I probably should take a look at it. I haven’t played fiddle for a long time and mostly learn by ear, but i can read a bit. Thanks for your suggestion 😄

[@64bluegrass]

Nice work! Thanks. I've found backup playing actually a little harder than a regular solo break. I fall into the same phrases. Need more variety.

[@AustinScelzo]

Totally- it's an under practiced skill for a lot of folks. All the books teach are solo breaks when in reality, 80% of what you're doing is backup in a jam/band setting!

[@kenkoellner9421]

Are all the licks ending on the 1 note of the chord?

[@ViolinistGL]

Thank you! If I may ask, what kind of fiddle are you playing? It looks like a Jonathan Cooper.

[@AustinScelzo]

That's exactly right! Great call

[@ViolinistGL]

@@AustinScelzo Cool! I got to play one for a year; they're awesome instruments.

Thank you so much!

[@johntait491]

Thank you Austin. Very helpful and well demonstrated. Are these notated anywhere..? 👍

[@AustinScelzo]

You're very welcome! Good idea to notate them- I will definitely look into it. As of now they are not
