Vassar explores more than a dozen of his classic licks, showing how he uses slides, chromatics, double and triple-stops, slurs and boogie-woogie patterns to enhance a variety of tunes. You'll learn some of his best-known original and traditional fiddle breaks and how he uses his earliest influences - blues and jazz - to transform ordinary bluegrass/country fiddle sounds into extraordinary ones.
Sit in on a conversation with his friend and accompanist Bob Hoban as Vassar reveals some "trade secrets" about pick-ups, bows, rosin, strings, and other fascinating topics. He even gives a rare demonstration of flatpicking the fiddle in a blues-style improvisation!
