Fiddler Charlie Walden once told me it took him two years to learn "Georgiana Moon," a lush and particularly double-stop laden waltz that certainly can be played in under two minutes, so that comes out to something like a year a minute. Learning the notes seems to be only the beginning, and it all takes time. Probably that's why lots of old- time players had only 20 or so tunes they considered theirs. My strategy is just to keep plugging away, enjoying the process. good luck, val On Apr 13, 9:21 pm, Mike O <[email protected]> wrote: > Have you ever glanced down at the timeline of a tune you're working > on... only to realize the ratio of time in to time out is incredibly > high.
