Greg Jowaisas Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Excellent! Al. Music/dots of your playing of "Jenny"? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnrobinson Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 'Sweet Jenny Jones is the flower of Llangollen, Oh Sweet Jenny Jones is the girl I adore' Lovely tune and an interesting dance. It is a cinque-pace, a throw back to early english (Tudor at least) court dances. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symon Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Very nice. Especially when you increased the tempo (or, at least, it seemed you did). A lovely dance, and one of my favourites, I think. Tricky hey, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 All the dots for Morris tunes are available on various sites origins and MP3s , but all of these tunes I do from memory without dots, to my own arrangements. I just play around until I like the sound. Some of you do so many thanks for the comments. Symon the slow start was intentional as it is such a lovely tune played at a slower tempo. I tried to smooth it out as much as possible with a simple arrangement. The faster tempo uses both rows to find a few nice chords and did have a few tricky bits and I had to untie the knots in my fingers after the recording. LDT you were right that was exactly what I did wrong, all sorted now thanks for your help. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symon Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 It is a lovely tune and it was great to hear it played slowly. However, I'm more used to hearing it at dancing speed, which you achieved marvellously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might try playing along with your video as I have a tendency to speed up and slow down all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Day Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks Symon and good luck Sarah. Smoothing this tune out I use the Left Hand Push D (C box) and A (GD box)situated on the D and G rows whilst playing on the C or G rows. This note I playing with my little finger and it saves a change of direction. It is a cross row note I rarely use as I normally play the tune on the right hand and chord left, but I now use it on a fast French tune and it is a really lovely option. I expect ITM players use it all the time but I just thought I would let you know what I am doing.It may help somebody. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Wooff Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Very nice, as usual Alan. May I make the suggestion that it could be time to check your "bushings"? I noticed you have one or two clicking keys. Best regards, Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
