En Route From Scarborough. (Trad. English , arr. Pierre Bensusan)

Superbly arranged in DADGAD by the unmatched Pierre Bensusan, and exquisitely butchered by yours truly (...)

It is one thing to try to learn to play this arrangement, and yet another to give it a decent sound with the help of Cubase. And when you finally settle for a decent sound (?), it is only to find out it gets massivly distorted as soon as you upload it on the net...oh well, I have a zillion other excuses, of course...like "I need a cutteway, and make it a Lowden while you are at it! lol)
In any case: *All mistakes are intentional* (dixit Ch. Atkins)

Bensusan (appropriately) dedicated this arrangement to John Renbourn. You can find this on his CD "Intuite" (it is packed with gems like this...!)

Alas, I humbly dedicated my play to François Grégoire (fransgreg ). I owe him some "plastic", big time. ;-D

Love,
Pascal

Absolute brilliant Pascal! I'm really impressed. Great work! Perhaps you can tell me how do your fingers know where they have to go? An enigmatic mystery :-) Ariane

[Qpidon]

@vividenergy their's not realy a mystery: enough Love for this arangment to get you enough "repetition-repetion-repetitio­n..." the muscles of your fingers do have an independent memory. Try and trust: it works! ;-D

Superbe cette piéce dont j'aime l'esprit ! Comment fais tu pour mémoriser toutes ces piéces d'une grande complexité . Ton niveau technique de pro est impressionnant .

Le son et l'image sont impeccables . A+. J.C.

[Qpidon]

@glaoud Ça fait plaisir de te lire ici, J.C.

La mémoire des muscles des doigts semble illimité: (c'est un sujet fascinant). Le plus important c'est de cultivé une sorte de "confiance aveugle" envers cette mémoire en question....toutefois, il faut répété énormément, bien sur: là il n'y a pas vraiment de secret, c'est du boulot!

bien à toi, J.C. et merci de ta visite bien apprécié.

Tous mes compliments Pascal !! la vache les écarts de doigts sont mortels !

[cynthiastr9]

El arreglo de Bensusan para esta antiquísima balada, me devuelve al espíritu original que la creó .... por momentos los acordes armónicos me susurraban arpegios inmemoriales pulsados al arpa céltica .... muy interesante, de verdad!

Gracias por transportarnos dentro y fuera del tiempo!
