Darol has put together a great new 4-part fiddle lesson all about using the chop in your rhythm playing. He goes into the different principles of how to define chop patterns, teaching a variety of variations. He also shows you how to come up with your own patterns! For you visual learners there's a pdf with a ton of great patterns to get you started with the lesson too, so be sure to look for that. Find it in the Intermediate section of the Learn area or just click here!
