Drummers achieve fantastically rich patterns by alternating feet and hands, so Julie asked the primary question back in 2003: How can string players tap into this? What examples do we already have throughout our thirty-five+ string styles? After listening to hundreds of CDs, she found only a handful from roots music and a few from Western canon. Julie has compiled dozens of paradiddle’s. These (mostly) asymmetrical patterns help players develop incredible string crossing skills, enable them to spice up their solos, make normal string crossing easy, and command over the up-bow equal to the down-bow.
This lesson was recorded as part of Strings Without Boundaries, a multi-style string conference operating for over 27 seasons. In partnership with artistic director Julie Lyonn Lieberman, recordings from past Strings Without Boundaries conferences are now available on myTalentForge.
