All these violin videos by so many different people, but if you're looking for like tutorials or history or instruction on like country/bluegrass/old time fiddle, there doesn't actually look to be much on youtube that's available.
I've been playing Irish fiddle for 20 years and recently branching out into country and bluegrass... Thought this would be easy but got to 11:30 and the Nashville shuffle on a pentatonic scale just absolutely broke me 😂 😂 😂 Brilliant video, thanks so much!!
Thank you so much !!! Violin beginner here . I found an very old guy violinist from Mexico , he plays his music with double strings . Just like the fiddle , country bluegrass , I really like the double string style on the violin it sound beautiful 😍
Sheesh. This made me search Fb market place and now im picking up a violin tomorrow lol. Always loved the fiddle in classic country and as a guitarist, challenge accepted!
Brilliant video. If I may.. though I've been playing for many years, getting the 'groove' on the back beat is relatively new and not ingrained yet (unlike 1 and 3). For me this (fantastic) resource would be even more helpful if there was a slightly slower version to work on first (especially the last version). I realise I can simply use a metronome but the playalong is so much more rewarding to practice with. I do love the clarity and accessibility of this presentation.
Glad you like it! RUclips has this feature- just click the "settings" cog in the bottom right corner of the video and select "playback speed" to your preferred speed
Fantastic Austin - all the meat and potatoes needed to take my fiddle playing across the gap from Irish tunes to bluegrass/country! A great big “THANKS!” 😊
That's so kind thank you! Yes I am ever grateful to have received a call from Chris when he proposed this idea. I share this video with many of my students and it seems to be getting good attention with his viewers as well!
At about 7:19 on the video you start adding notes to the shuffles using the pentatonic scales. I know the notes in the scales but have a hard time following exactly the sequence you are playing. I’m not advanced enough to improvise on the scales so can you share the exact order of the notes you play between 7:19 and 7:40 on the video? If so, I could play along and learn. That would be so helpful and I’m sure for others trying to apply shuffles in this way. ❤
This one of the best I have watched in BG/country fiddling. I was so lucky to find this channel. your teaching is very methodical. i am a self leaner. and i enjoyed the best and it is a matter of practicing. you have made this so simple. looking forward for more of these vids. I also learnt lot from Christian. Thanks for your generosity.
Love this!! So glad you liked this one. I love teaching this stuff and it's like a dream come true to hear from people like you who are getting a lot from it.
I love the Bill Monroe poster on your wall! Bill’s bluegrass boys worked the farm for him when they weren’t on the road playing music. Even as an older man Bill was as strong as a mule! Then again most farm boys are! Loved the lesson! I think I’m gonna pull out the fiddle and rosin up the bow and give it a whirl after that! Thank you for the video!

This was the thing that was missing from my fiddling. I came up as a jazz guy, and I was doing swing feel and it seemed close enough, but these shuffles are actually the thing.
Great lesson, somewhat like playing chords on a guitar and, if you're the only musician besides the bass and, drummer this technique can be very helpful to fill in the music along with the vocals.
This made me take a break from my banjo practice. My fiddle is next-door and it’s raining outside so I will have to take a rain check and catch you tomorrow
This is a great lesson! Thank you and Chris for presenting it. I'm a huge fan of Christian Howes and have used your videos to work on shuffle bowing. This lesson really brings things together! I think there is a cajun/zydeco thing going on here, too.
Hey! Loved the video. I’m really wanting to learn the fiddle and play this style of music. What model do you recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A Great simplistic breakdown of rythym and technique. : Im a Guitar player , and like many out there ,i fancied my chances on the Violin, ...fretting notes is one thing , bowing notes is another. I'm not to out to be Stéphane Groppelli..i don't have enough life(or talent) left..but i feel this is an achievable goal.
I was just reading how the Nashville shuffle goes back to the style fiddle players used in England in the 17th century (as well as syncopation and mimicking the fox hounds etc being shown off playing ‘The fox chase’)and how that was an echo from Medieval times and that brought me to your fabulous video😅

Same here, litterally can't get past the different "rhythm" of the two hands. Something in my brain just can't figure it out yet
I love the way you instruct

Austin Scelzo, you are the best teacher ever. I learned so much here, and at Christian Howes’ camp in Black Mountain in early July. Creative Strings!
Thank you so much!!!
You are so unique, please make more videos about that, thanks
So well planned, structured and presented. You are absolutely the best mentor I have even seen on RUclips. Thank you …so much
Thank you so much!
The best. The best. The best. THE BEST I have seen on this. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome! Seems like it's getting received well. I'm thinking of making another one on chopping soon

@@ChristianHowesViolin Thank you! I’ll put then to good use!
I don't play the fiddle but I found this very informative and entertaining. Good job!
Glad you like it!

Great - may be able to get the three three two , which I have had difficulty with
THANKS FOR THIS.
Brilliant 👏 👏 thanks soo much. Is there any beginners bluegrass books you can recommend please. Love country fiddle music 🎻
Great lesson, somewhat like playing chords on a guitar and, if you're the only musician besides the bass and, drummer this technique can be very helpful to fill in the music along with the vocals.
Very simple but good
Thanks a lot 😊
Thanks!
Simple tutorial easy to understanding.. thanks for this video Jesus bless you... greeting from Indonesia♥️
I’m glad you said the Georgia Shuffle is a little hard to get into. 🎻
I'm learning fidle with the Quebecois style music. this vidio is great to understand country style rhytm and licks on a fidle . merci beaucoup :)
I’m happy you liked it!
thank you for my first violin lesson
You're very welcome!
You're welcome!
BY FAR THE BEST VIDEO ON SHUFFLE BOWING!!!
thanks Rebecca
This made me take a break from my banjo practice. My fiddle is next-door and it’s raining outside so I will have to take a rain check and catch you tomorrow
Great lesson. Saves years .
This is a great lesson! Thank you and Chris for presenting it. I'm a huge fan of Christian Howes and have used your videos to work on shuffle bowing. This lesson really brings things together! I think there is a cajun/zydeco thing going on here, too.
Thanks Michael! So glad it resonated with you. Thank you for your support!
Yes! Many of these bowings are also used in cajun and zydeco fiddling
COOL! 😂
Love this video, I'm a novice beginner, Austin had me making halfway decent sounds in no time!
Hey! Loved the video. I’m really wanting to learn the fiddle and play this style of music. What model do you recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Excellent instructional video-thank you!!
You are welcome!
Thank you!
I really like the 332 and the Georgia shuffle akot. Probably because im from Georgia!
I do enjoy those rhythms though
Great Job! I love your clear explanation and that sound!! Could you please do a tutorial of "The waves of Bondi" of The Bushwackers. Thank you.
I was just reading how the Nashville shuffle goes back to the style fiddle players used in England in the 17th century (as well as syncopation and mimicking the fox hounds etc being shown off playing ‘The fox chase’)and how that was an echo from Medieval times and that brought me to your fabulous video😅
Wow... thanks so much. I had no idea of the origins.
im on it. the last part is really confusing bu ti will get it. sounds like louisiana zydeco and i have to unlock it.
Superb
Very good tutorial. Helped me capture that elusive country-bluegrass sound
thanks Phil! you might find some of the downloads useful in my Christmas Giveaway: swiy.co/Secret_Giveaway
I am lucky to find you
Totally love this - I played along the whole time!!
Amazing. I need to get a bit better in general before i come back to this, but will definitely save for later.
It helps to know at the start whats the fiddle tunning .. awesome
Standard tuning here!

I love your channel was wondering what you are using for the backing track? Is it a pedal or a strum machine?
Its a loop pedal with build in drum machine :) Boss I believe
Very practical video and well demonstrated! I'm also a fan of Christian, it's good to see how his influence reaches out
Thanks Cristina!
I've learned so much from Christian- His approach to the blues has had a deep impact on my artistic personality in the bluegrass world.
Wonderful! Could you let us know how you set up your backing track?
Hi! I used a boss rc10 loop pedal/drum machine
Your so comfortable i cannot even get close
eye contact giving me butterflies fr
😂
Also, it wasn't until I stopped trying to play along that I heard the " ba daga ducka dega ducka dum"s in the gaps, which are honestly so cute 😂
❤
dude genuinely (appearance) *LOOKS* like a fiddle teacher
Just subed
I play classical on violin, anyways, I just learned how to fiddle, thank you 3:57 3:58
