👉 Hookswinging is a musical technique that originated in the 19th century and involves the use of a string instrument, such as the guitar or violin, to create rhythmic patterns and melodies by alternating between playing notes with one hand and holding them up to play another. The term "hookswinging" comes from the way the strings are held up, which creates a sense of tension and movement that can be used to create unique rhythms and melodies.
