Bluegrass Fiddle Tricks & Licks ; Magic Bluegrass Scale with Justin Branum 18:23

cách đây 2 years trước18:23

18:23

Learn secrets of how to play bluegrass fiddle and more with Justin Branum - in this video we use the Magic Bluegrass scale as it relates to tunes like June Apple. June Apples are small and oblong, with a brisk taste that's unusual for early apples. I only know this because Justin Branum told me. He's a Nashville-based master fiddler and regular at the Grand Ole Opry, (which is to Bluegrass what Carnegie Hall is to Classical, and the Village Vanguard is to Jazz). We used the Bluegrass tune "June Apple" in a video to teach you play-along exercises related to the "Magic Bluegrass Scale". (It's good for other styles besides Bluegrass). Justin came out of Bluegrass and Texas-style fiddle, then got a master's in Jazz. His breadth combined with the fact that he was self-taught from the age of 12 may explain why he's such an effective teacher. I respect Justin Branum so much as a fiddle teacher and master fiddle player that I invited him to teach in Asheville this summer at our Creative Strings summer retreat (session B). We weren't not sure if he could make it because everybody in Nashville wants him to play country bluegrass fiddle on their tours and records, but he just confirmed he's IN! Want to learn how to play Bluegrass fiddle with Justin Branum, and Austin Scelzo, and me in person? Join the Creative Strings summer retreats (space is limited) here: https://christianhowes.com/creative-strings-asheville-extension/ Still, if he can, it will naturally include more opportunities to focus on Bluegrass fiddle, Country fiddle, Swing fiddle, and other folk fiddle styles with Austin Scelzo, who is also a tremendous teacher who can show you how to play fiddle coming during the second week. Our two scheduled fiddle camp sessions are the weeks of June 25th and July 2nd. The first week will be really diverse, including jazz and any styles you want to do. If you would rather come for a folk-music-centered experience the week of July 8-15, possibly to include special guests Justin and Austin Scelzo, sign up at link below. As a heads up, I limit the number of people at these fiddle camps The price is currently at a discount and it will go up So if you want to come, I suggest you decide soon.
