Thought I'd try blogging for the first time.
In the last few months I've been using a different bowing pattern. Basically it's just 2 note slurs. A full measure looks like: d d u u d d u u. It can also be used in half a measure, saw stroking the other 4 notes. For example the slurs at the 2nd half of the measure: d u d u dd uu; or at the beginning d d u u d u d u.
The first tune where I really it going was Hog Eyed Man (learned from David Braggers Youtube lesson). Since then I seem to be drawn to tunes where this type of bowing fits.
So here's my take: https://youtu.be/QqJIcSYhmYg
The source is Edden Hammons, but I've gotten most my bowing ideas from David Bragger's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJcC0e-3Bac
I like this bowing because you can really accent the 2 and 4 beat with an up bow. I'm working on getting a pulse on the up bow but it's not really there yet.
Constructive criticism is welcome.
