Practicing 6 Sarabande, Part I

Pretty bad clip of 6 Sarabande practice. Only redeeming thing is the view to "stage" left. Getting a little closer to the approach I'd like this piece. Will probably fingerpick more of it when doing actual recording, but trying to get the right emotional content with tapping here, which is a challenging thing.

just play guitar! not bass!

[bentorrey]

Why? Let people play what they like to play. I'm not a guitarist, although I have a few and bang around on them.

lol, I'm not a very good upright player, I do enjoy it though, I may post some upright clips at some point. That's my Carvin LB76, currently tuned E-F in straight 4ths. Wound .022 for an F that I'm using for Cello Suite # 6.

RE: "just play guitar": like telling a French Horn player to play trumpet instead of a descant double horn - not the same instrument, not the same sound or feel.

Extend-range bass is relatively new & often mis-understood, even by bassists. I talked briefly w/ Eddie Jackson of Queensrÿche (5-str: B-E-A-D-G) after a gig; told him I play 5-str: E-A-D-G-C, he said, "Doesn't that get in the way of the guitars?"

Not when you pair w/ a mandolin!

;-D

That really is a cool sound, Ben! That high-F adds a sweet melodic register.

It is a delicate sound. There is dynamics, too.
