Howdy folks,
First time poster here(former lurker lured out of the shadows). I've
been listening real intently to Tater's mando pickin' for the last
decade or so. I don't do the online lessons but have caught his
instructional skills at the last three Monroe camps.
Thought I might take a stab at a chord arrangement for this here
Dorian Waltz.
The chords change EVERY measure in my arrangement.
"A part-first time through" - Cm F7 Gm Bb Cm G7 Gm
"A part-second time through" Cm F7 Gm Bb Fm G G7
"B part-starts at measure 11 on Tater's tab"- Cm F7 G7 Eb Gm Cm
G7 Bb G7
Cm
G7 Eb Gm Cm F7 Bb G7 Cm
Now whether this is a strictly Dorian tune could be debated, but who
cares, it has a nice creepy melody and weaves inbetween several minor
scales as is often the case. To find these chords I harmonized the C
Dorian scale for the majority of them. Where the melody strays from
the parent scale I tried to find a chord that fit (had some of the
melody notes in it). Feed back would be appreciated.
Hey Perry, Did you remeber the Old Jericho Waltz?
Great Website, John
