Designed as a follow-up to Volume 1, Volume 2 addresses such important skills as: 1 expanding a basic repertoire of common intermediate-level tunes, 2 learning to use low first position, 3 mastery of bowing down on the beat and corrective slurring, 4 artistic slurring, 5 understanding basic music theory, and 6 learning double-stop backup combinations. Some students who have studied violin or fiddle music before may be able to skip Volume 1 and start with Volume 2, assuming they are proficient at skills such as proper violin and bow placement and can play a small repertoire of fiddle tunes with good tone and intonation. The DVD supplement to his critically acclaimed American Fiddle Method Volume 2 continues and expands the skills introduced in Volume 1 and shares his pointers and shortcuts to help you learn to play the right stuff faster and better. Contents include: 27 intermediate/advanced tunes, rhythmic slur combinations; tricks for playing in tune; secrets of great tone; fluid bowing; backup and chops; playing in flatted keys; and powerful double stops.
