Big Arty's Ryhthm

posted 07 May 2010

Today Samantha and I focused on getting the swung rhythm even across the first line of Big Arty's Reel. Some of the trouble, for me, was that I was running out of bow and some of the string crossing were not staying on beat.

With the metrenome we worked on a lot of those details and played through measure by measure. I think it is better but I have another few hours of working on it slowly.

Trouble spots - Slurred string crossings - Speeding up string crossings - Need to practice making up bow on the first part of a swung note - More bow :)

Practice this week - Big Arty's Reel (work on getting an even rhythm to 80bpm)
