Most bassists think in bass lines. But in this lesson, Paul Kowert invites you to think in bow lines.

By borrowing rhythmic bow patterns from fiddle players, he shows how to drive the beat and shape the melody at once.

In this video segment, Paul demonstrates the Nashville-style shuffle bow and how tiny variations (like swing versus straight, or a touch of accent or bounce) can completely change a tune’s feel. You’ll see how rhythmic phrasing keeps the ensemble grounded while letting the bass sing.
