I'm working on an Amazonian Dance which I'll put on the island soon. I had it recorded before I was in the hospital but thought the tempo was off, I did a couple of cuts of it to test out some new strings I put on the Loud One to compare the Browns Fats to the D'Addrrio Carbons and I realized the the tempo was just about right in my pre-hospital recording, which I had forgotten about. Now I'm working on being able to play it the same way twice, or close anyway. I need some lyrics to remind me how to replicate the 'good parts'. Part of the problem is that I am using it to demonstrate different strum patterns in the same chords pattern, while keeping the beat uniform. I had a good cut going last night but choked on the last two bars.
The problem with my Dances is that they can go on, and on, and on, as I develop new strums and rhythms. There is no way to write this down so I'm just recording it over and over to try to memorize what works. Then I also am rotating thru all my Zebras just to keep it interesting and that switches it from Em to Am, and I just can't seem to get satisfied. Heck I even played it on my Little Filly soprano and it has a whole different vibe from my linear tuned Concert and my dGBE Bari-Tenors.
I'm almost there with it but then I'm going to practice my singing and get all Johnny Cash on you folks.
You've been warned. (LOL)
