Fiddle Lesson - When playing backup fiddle, what’s the best rhythm for the chords?

Barb from Chicago: When playing backup fiddle, how do you determine the best way to play the chords? The typical chopping backup doesn’t always seem appropriate. What about the rhythmic “train” style chopping? And what to do with slower songs like Wayfaring Stranger or Angel Band? 

I’ve written more about this on the FiddleHed page: https://fiddlehed.co/WhenPlayingBacku...

On that page you'll also find extra content (play-along tracks, tabs, sheet music snippets) to help you understand and practice this. It’s free for one week after the date of publication.

This micro-lesson is an excerpt from an office hours webinar I gave on June 17, 2020. View the entire live-stream with indexed questions here:
