I recently purchased Casey's series of lessons on "chop" bowing (from his website). I'd strongly recomend them :-)  I'm one satisfied customer :-)

It sounds like a si-fi movie in the backgroung noise

Violinists know more about masochism than fiddlers, but true suffering comes from the pain of the creative process. Muscle aches are like inconveniences next to a battle with the notes themselves.

Great exercise and can't wait to try this - still in my early playing days and just getting to grips with Irish Jigs and Reels - no looking at old time american/bluegrass tunes which I like a lot and this looks a great way to get comfortable with double stopping .. . more tips please Sir!
