Gypsy style - no rhythm guitar

My band has bass, drums (snare and cymbals), and violin. The drum helps and fiddler chops when I solo. It can be thinner when you're accustomed to listening to music with rhythm guitar, but it works. Everyone else needs to be solid and straightforward when you solo.

One of the violinist I currently play with, does something along those lines:
