I was searching for the blues played on the violin and I found it here. Wow.
After playing electric guitar for 16 years, this video has just made me buy a violin. that is without a doubt one of the best sounds I've ever heard. I aspire to be even half as good as that. Truly amazing.

Right? The violin takes it to a whole different level.
This works way better than I expected. Better than jazz violin imo

Lots in country music. After all "country" is just the white man's Blues. The 1980's and 90's were some good times for the Blues fiddle. Plus there's Bluegrass which is basically the Blues, just faster and with more instruments
Uooou! Very very good
reeeaaaalll nnnniiiicee :)
When you thought you've seen it all but you find out there's more you don't know
wow I'm really impressed. Did you just jam that or is there any sheet music for blues on the violin? Love it

This is an awesome video! Looks like you and I shed bow hairs at the same rate. Any tips for not shedding so many? I'm sick of getting both of my bows rehaired every month.

I'd recommend having fine tuners on the tailpiece for ease of tuning. Also make sure you get a shoulder rest that fits you well to avoid back pain.

Tony T, If it's not too late, I believe Gliga has some modestly priced violins that are supposed to be pretty good for the money. They are made in Romania.
amazing, is that all based around an e blues scale?

I’ve been following you on Instagram for a while and didn’t even think to check if you had a KZread. This is amazing. Can you make any suggestions for a new player on what to look into to start learning this type of thing? Obviously pentatonic scales, but any suggested reading, sheet music etc to get one started?

Start listening to Muddy Waters, BB King, Clarence Gatemouth Brown .. listen to how they move and swing. Pick a phrase and master, now another, now another. It’s all about learning the language. Don’t think like a violinist, think like a musician with a violin. Be open to different vibratos, slides, techniques that can build color and phrasing. There is many many things you can do also with just bow pressure… experiment - but getting it snarl and scrape in a musical way.. I take a lot of inspiration from harmonica and slide guitar players on this one. It’s all about listening, learning the language and nuances. Your going to make mistakes over and over and over and over but slowly you’ll find your way. Hope this helps.
