Performance Notes This publication incorporates a transcription of a performance by violinist Christian Howes. It involves the use of a loop pedal to record and overdub different layers to accompany your own improvisation. It is recommended to watch a performance of the piece by Christian on YouTube for a demonstration on how he records the layers in performance. You can find his channel on youtube.com at “christianhowestube”. For further guidance in improvisation, harmony, gear, and more, visit www.christianhowes. com and check out Christian’s Creative Strings Academy, an online school for improvising string players.
CHRISTIAN HOWES A former Associate Professor at the Berklee College of Music, Christian has taught thousands of string players in schools around the world. He was awarded the prestigious First Place (“Rising Stars / Violin”) in the 2011 Downbeat Critics Poll, and was recently nominated for “Violinist of the Year” by the Jazz Journalists Association.
