St. Louis Blues....improv for violin with KAYPO

Here's an example of improvised kaypoed violin. Believe it or not, some violinists and cellists don't use kaypos. Even so, the kaypo can come in handy. Why use a kaypo on a violin or a cello? In short, for all the same reasons that guitarists like to use kaypos. The kaypo becomes especially useful when playing the straight forward, familiar chord patterns that characterize many pop-genre, jazz, blues, country and bluegrass songs. My kaypo's name is Edgar Allen.

"St louis Blues" was composed by William C. Handy, whose picture can be seen in the video. The guitars on this recording are played by Eddy Tenderloin.
