Old John’s Jig - This is a fantastic tune to play. It has a great rhythm. We will experiment with some nuances (different ingredients) that we haven’t looked at before. We discuss overblowing the c natural note to create the sound of the old pipers. We switch between F sharp and F natural within the tune and you will learn how to play an F natural with or without a key. We concentrate on glottal stops at one point in the lesson. Like previous lessons the tune will be broken into sections and learning is aided by live ABC notation. Many suitable ornaments will be taught with the tune. Each part of the tune will be played and then the tune will be played fully through at different speeds.
