Jazz violinist Christian Howes recorded this video of The Chicken live in studio. The bass line and strumming loops were played live (just two loops), and shortened later for convenience of the listener. (Christian uses the "two finger" electric-bass style technique to play the bass line). (Let us know if you would prefer to hear the entire loop intros in future or not and find more examples of electric violin live loops videos at christianhowestube on youtube, by browsing through the playlists and selecting the " Electric Violin Looping" playlist.)

Christian offers an annual summer conference, online training, outreach programs for school orchestras, and various instructional resources at www.christianhowes.com/education

Christian Howes recommends the Electric Violin Shop to any bowed string players seeking help with amplification and gear -They are amazingly helpful! Get their phone number here and call them to ask any question related to electric string playing.:
