Title: Rake on violin
Post by: JF on February 18, 2016, 11:10:48 AM
yesterady on radio I heard "love is here to stay" by shirley horn & stuff smith

what strucked me is that during the viloin solo I heard some "rakes" like a guitarsit would do with his right hand.

you can listen to the violin solo here (track 11) :

it sounds very "guitaristish" to me. almost ala Drek Truck in the way to attack the strings

I wonder how the musician can do such "rakes " with his bow
