I encourage you to keep practicing your triplet strum. It takes a long to time to get it smooth. Just do a few each day and consider trying to put in a triplet strum when you are strumming and humming (even at the BUG Jam).
Dance of the Hours is absolutely one of the most challenging songs we will be playing. I continue to be impressed by how hard this group works. You have managed to play many songs (including Dance of the Hours) that some classes have never managed and I believe that is due to PRACTICE !
We will play Dance of the Hours again next week and the move on to Oft in the Stilly Night: A very sweet and slow song where we can focus on playing the rhythms (remember to listen to it on your CD) and the chords changes, and getting a sweet and lyrical sound.
Annoucements:
BUG jam this coming Saturday (March 4) at 3:00.
Classes that I will be teaching starting in March:
Playing the Blues - licks and tricks, rhythms, and repertoire. (starts March 20 for 6 weeks.
Playing by Heart - getting off the paper. (starts March 11, for 4 weeks).
