How Do You Play The Fiddle Using Reel Bowing Patterns?
Reel bowing is an example of bowing technique in fiddling. For the most part, reel bowing is made up of the standard practice of having one bow stroke for each note. But in some cases, the notes move so quickly this is impossible. So two or more notes are slurred together in one bow stroke. These slurring techniques are called shuffle reel bowing. Use 1 bow stroke for each note. This means that each time that you change notes, you change the direction that the bow is moving. This is basic pattern for reel bowing. Play 2 notes in the same bow stroke followed by 2 notes each with their own bow strokes. The 2 notes that are played in the same bow stroked are commonly referred to as slurred since the movement from one to the other is close together instead of clearly separated like it would be with 2 bow strokes. You can also reverse this and have 2 notes with their own bow strokes followed by 2 notes that are slurred. Bow 2 notes with separate bow strokes on 1 string then 2 notes on anoth
