20 bluegrass fiddle licks in G- for Man of Constant Sorrow

In this old time/bluegrass fiddle lesson I demonstrate the tune Man of Constant Sorrow, then show 20 short bluegrass licks which can be used to play a solo.
These include an introduction, licks for each chord, several endings, and licks which join one chord on to the next.

These videos are so helpful, and are a great addendum to the stuff I’ve learnt from your Rock Violin book! I’ve got your Jazz book arriving Monday - I can’t wait to dive into it!

There is NO ONE on the internet who can teach fiddle as well as Chris. He is a super-talented musician and a super-talented teacher. Hidden in his work is the fact that you learn the melody, and then start adding to it with his licks.
