The new issue of Mel Bay’s Fiddle Sessions is here, including part two of my article about how to play accompanying chords with other musicians. There are also transcriptions of two different jazz violinists’ takes on “Go Tell Aunt Rhody”, and an interview with a hard-of-hearing fiddle player.
“Chords: What To Play When You Don’t Know What to Play, Part 2: How Do I Know Which Chord To Play?”
and in case you missed part one, it’s here.

In other news, one of the bands I’m in, Big Sur, will be at the Tractor Tavern on Saturday, October 22nd, opening for Zoe Muth & the Lost High Rollers, about whom I hear only good things. If you’re in the area, come say hi?
