Darol is so insanely good. One of my absolute favorite fiddle players. I've learned so much about playing blues and jazz from him.

In this first vidéo I Watch, I did not find something "insanely good" !!!

I haven't even touched my fiddle yet and i can already hear it working...this is a very good tip. Why didn't I ever think about this before? I think i have always just gone from case to case without looking for a rule. I've always been thinking about chords and arpegios...bits of scales, but no average rule like this. I'm gonna watch this again tomorow.

Get playing! It's so much fun :)

Same idea in bebop by adding an extra note everything lines up and the chord tones land on the strong beats.

We play the FIDDLESTICKS all the time at the office - love it!

Awesome scale, thank you!

makes sense. I'll give it a try! thanks Darol!

With a lot of jazz playing you tend to leave out the fourth to avoid that minor 9th sound, I wonder if this is the fiddle equivalent! That being said, I am unsure why the 7th is excluded on the way down. haha But this totally cool and accurate now that I think about it a little more. haha :D

Gonna go practice!

same here!

So the blues scale is leaving out the fourth and seventh? And flattening the 3rd, 5th, ?

Depends on what key you're in. That's why I like to use numbers, because they are independent of the key... then when the singer wants to change the key, you're still good to go.

Aren't you still playing a note on the fourth? What is it? you are going so fast I can not make out what it is. lol

Okay, but why not go full-on pentatonic? You can always add the odd accidental if you need to.

A Pentatonic scale not really so much in the style. It would work, of course. But we usually set up patterns for pentatonic more in Jazz music. This scale really sets you in Bluegrass, adds the color of the 7th and 4th, and enables you to land "on your feet", as it were.
