Well, here goes. This is a tune I’ve just learned; I had a listen to the Fisher Street version (at about a billion miles per hour in what I think is probably E flat), and then looked at a couple different versions of the tune from the ABC Tunefinder. You can see that the tune is pretty bare bones:
This means it’s badly in need of variations both ornamental and melodic to keep from being BOOORING. That’s 1) one thing I’ll need to work on. I’m also 2) not terribly strong on regs, either chordally or in terms of placing the chanter in time to reach the lower chords, so that’ll be another thing to think about (or try not to think about) as I work on it. Finally, 3) after listening to myself, I’m not happy with the lack of tone and texture in my lower octave, especially the right hand notes.
Work cut out for me!
