> or is there something completely different that i havent thought about?
I have found that it really doesn't work to even play in unison with the singing. The salient question "Are you singing in English?" I have since dropped down to drones during the verses with melodic fills or "spacers". Any coup work when singing that is mere punctuation: A short light hit every 4 bars or so. I have looked into a note change on the chanter to express the chord changes, (with a G drone I might play B or a D To get a G chord, or a C or E for a Chord: I have one song that is in G but uses Emin, so I would play B and try to hang on to it. t am not satisfied with the results, vs the work involved. My best result to date is reciting lyric or short poems between dance tunes. We would all prefer that anybody else sing (rather than me), but sometimes one is out there alone, and to misquote John Wayne: "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
