Book excerpt: What is rhythm violin? The violin sings and the fiddle dances. In the same way there is lead guitar and rhythm guitar, we can have lead violin and rhythm violin also. Rhythm violin playing is when you accompany dance melodies with repetitive bowing patterns. This kind of bowing is very common in most folk and dance styles and the most well-known bowing variation for this is called The Shuffle (also known sometimes as the Nashville shuffle). In 16 concise pages with clear examples and a little bit of dyad theory, learn how to accompany any melody with nothing but a leadsheet or even just a chord progression written on the back of a beermat.
