Fiddle Chopping from scratch. Nine great grooves for rock, funk, jazz, latin and bluegrass.

In this fiddle tutorial, I describe and demonstrate fiddle chopping or, “the chop“, from the most basic single chop to some complex funky grooves. I refer to numerous other fiddle chopping videos, particularly those by Casey Driessen and Darol Anger. I discuss the appropriateness of chopping in various contexts, and warn about the dangers of over-doing it. After explaining the history of chopping and the basic principles, I show 8 different chopping grooves; 1. The Casey Driessen Baseline Chop 2. The basic rock groove 3. The melodic rock groove 4 The threes pattern 5. The Bo Diddley pattern 6. The basic Latin groove 7. The Clave 8. Marvin’s Groove Below are details of further fiddle resources from Chris Haigh 1.
