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)
