Play Your Violin or Viola Like a Rhythm Guitarist
Strum bowing contributes rhythm and 'feel' to our band's groove
Even if you’re a hotshot fiddler in a bluegrass, jazz, or rock band, there are times when you need to get out of the way and support somebody else’s solo work. Sometimes you’re helping with the harmonic outline, like a bassist, but maybe you’re moving in on the drummer’s territory, just making a percussive sound to add spice to the syncopation. That little “chunk” or “chucka-chucka” sound on the second and fourth beats is the chop.
