So we have cycles of:
C F C F C...
C G F C...
Bm F#(m) D E...
at 85bpm (5bpm too slow for comfort IMO)
After a few minutes playing along I started replacing the C with Cadd9 at some points and C/D/E power chords at others to brighten it up.
As there's no solo or lead I thought about what I'd do if I joined in. Pentatonic noodles on the 5th fret for the cycles that start in C and 7th fret for the cycles that start in Bm work well. Slides on the low E and A strings and bends/pull offs on the G and B sound add a country feel.
Moulettes - one of the few bands to feature bassoon.
That's Ruth, she also plays Autoharp.
Alan Miller, Hannah, the singer/cellist's dad, who made Hannah's cello, is currently finishing off an Autoharp with a beatbox built in, which will make it a sort of traditional Omnichord; looking forward to hearing that at some point.
And no, I don't really know the band, I've only met them once when they played an instore at a small record shop in town, and I spent some time chatting to Allan when he was selling his guitars etc at our folk festival earlier in the year, before I discovered he was Hannah's dad.
Love their music though, it appeals to both my folk and prog inclinations.
Their drummer's dad was drummer with Gentle Giant for a while, which helps, as well. 😀
Friends band..
Popes of chillitown are floating my boat..
Since we are all at it 🙂
Not a band as such. Just my young nephew, alone in his bedroom with his bits and bobs. Probably a bit slow for most but I reckon there is considerable talent here. To do this in one hit is pretty impressive.
