Beginners Notes #519-So you stole one, now what?
You stole one, wrote it out in tab, what now? You can play it,
and should, but!!! You shouldn't stop there, you should segment it down
to some of its individual elements. Try to figure out what else it has to offer you.
Not just the notes, but also timing and dynamics. It is yours now,
take hold of it and play it like it is. Then add that "YOU" I was talking about earlier.
Let's look at it:
r=1/2 tone raise

Notice that NONE are wrong! Because they are yours,
the rules of music are NOT set in stone as some might think. They are somewhat fluid
and have been viewed differently from time to time throughout history.
The music in you is also yours, let it out. Apply your rules to it
and you just might find a following that likes it. |
