It seems these frazes are to long to fit into the minor swing patters, Cant seem to make them fit.

@neshlov This lesson deals with improvising over the E7 chord in the key of Am. You can make up licks using these ideas to fit into Minor Swing, but in Minor Swing the E7 is held for half the length of the licks shown here. That's why they don't fit directly.

The violin is so sexy.

i think that all of your fiddlin' power is derived from your awesome eyebrows and if someone were to shave those awesome eyebrows off while you were asleep then your fiddlin' powers would suddenly disappear.

gahh you make it look so easy! I'm more familiar with guitars and banjos, It's hard to get a grasp on the violin >: (

@fiddlinmike  I have been working on my debut solo album so I haven't had much time for instructional videos, but I do have some plans in the near future to make more videos covering more topics/chord progressions. Stay tuned!
