The Boy in the Gap (Reel) - In this lesson we will discuss the idea of the backbeat and how it is used in traditional music, not just flute playing. This 3-part tune will be played through first. Then the tune will be broken into sections to learn the tune with live ABC notation. As you learn the tune, you will insert suitable ornamentation. Towards the end of the lesson you will play through the tune at different speeds. The backbeat discussion is towards the end of the lesson also.
