Mastering a musical instrument can be hard, especially if you don’t have the right teacher.

Well, you won’t find a more qualified instructor than five-string fiddler Casey Driessen, who’s performed alongside Steve Earle, Tim O’Brien, Darrell Scott, Zac Brown Band, and Abigail Washburn.

Now, Driessen wants to share his insights with everyone. Over a series of instructional videos, Driessen will demonstrate and dissect “The Chop,” a percussive bowing style that’s all the rage in the bluegrass world, and beyond.

You can download the vids in HD and mobile formats, beginning September 22 at caseydriessen.com.
