I'm having motivation issues... so even the thought of Sevcik, Flesch, or Mazas exercises - makes my brain shut down, right now.
I barely ever think about double stops & my 'to do' list is getting overloaded. 😔 Know I'm missing out on a lot of potential enrichment in playing the fiddle, so I want to move forward with better double stops!
Been trying to give myself something to get excited about. I know that Bobby Hicks always used a lot of doublestops in different ways - thought maybe one of his tunes might help. One did get my attention, but it's a lot to put on my plate - and wasn't a tutorial.
Jason Carter shows a unique 'moving' doublestop that Bobby Hicks has used - might help me focus.
Brittany Haas shows Sliding & Moving Between Double Stops.
🤔... I'M STILL LACKING A SENSE OF PURPOSE! I don't want to practice double stops, just for the sake of practicing double stops...
Ah, Ha! Megan Lynch Chowning has some interesting practice videos I hadn't seen.
Practicing 1 to 4 chord with flat 7 note open string version.
🤔... quite a few double stop 'progressions' practice videos!
...a double stop 'fill' lick!
...looks like there's practice on adding an ornament while using a double stop, too!
Was thinking I'd need to just chose a Western Swing tune that's chock-full of moving double stops, so I can force myself into action... maybe I won't have to now. Megan has a huge playlist of little 'SYSPTW' videos ('Something you should practice this Weekend').
Wow, these may solve my issues... I'm not feeling like I'm forcing myself into anything - going to give it a try this week! 🤗
I was wondering - anyone have a favorite way of practicing double stops you want to share?
