dear hudy gurdy google group peoplz.... i am curious considering vocals with the HG... when i played with my former partner when he sang a song i would accompany with counter melody of some sort. now that i am doing solo work that isnt so easy... what do you people that sing with your gurdy find to be the most effective way to accompany your self? sing and play the same melody line? sing the melody line and play a counter melody? these top two are the ones that i think i would find tough doing. you know walking the and chewing gum syndrome... would you arpegiate the chords? which depending on the song could be just as rough as far as timing goes...or would you just play the root of the chord and let the drones add the harmony with maybe a few grace notes? seeing as you dont have the ability of say a fiddle doing double stops (1st and 5th) or is there something completely different that i havent thought about? i am pretty much talking about no other accompanyment guitar or anything... my posts might make more sense if i didnt wait till bedtime to write them. peace
