Re: Monroe Camp 2010
Well there isn't any way possible for me to make it to Monroe Camp 2010 (hell, all the way up to 2015 or so realistically) but I would love to hear the answer to Don's question (especially for Hartford). Trey From: Don adobeinthepi...@gmail.com To: taterbugmando@googlegroups.com Sent: Sun, March 7, 2010 9:06:21 PM Subject: Re: Monroe Camp 2010 How about something about how Monroe ( Hartford) constructed their set lists? For example, where in the set list does the chicken song go? How were their set lists influenced by vaudeville? Actually you could just answer that one on here as it probably might not take up a whole class session. -- My CD of original tunes played on mandolin, mandola, and mandocello http://www.HillbillyChamberMusic.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Taterbugmando group.

Re: Monroe Camp 2010
I think Erik touched on this above (deconstructing melody?) The way in which Monroe (and also Compton) whittle down a fiddle tune to it's bare essentials is very interesting to me. For instance if a melody called for G F# G they might instead play three G notes in a row. Are these short cuts or are they intentional? This whittling down makes the tune more rhythmically powerful and is sort of the essence of the style. I think it also makes makes the tune much more presentable in a solo format. I suppose a detailed analysis could be made as to what scale tones were apt to be left out just like many folks try to teach how to embellish fiddle tune melodies. Were the edited notes based on convenience or are they based on tones or maybe both? I for one and amazed when Tater shows me a fiddle tune and it he has some very clever way of playing something and I always wonder now why didn't I think of that. Other course ideas..some veering away from Monroe Playing your mandolin solo (adding drones, chordal tones etc, foot taps.) Monroe - rare gems (Reelfoot Reel, Land of Lincoln, Chilly Winds) Monroe's Chop - compare his placement of 2 4 to other well known chops The idea of furnishing TAB pre-camp is a very good one. I think the Django camp folks do that. Perry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Taterbugmando group.
