SIMON GABRIELOW Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Have a good old fun-time improvising I say. There's a cheeky sense of fun to be had in taking a well known [respected] melody; and then transforming it in all kinds of ways! Just on a whim! After academic reading from music page let go your senses, and enjoy it [for the hell of it!] There's three tunes in my concoction here; Welsh, Scottish, and more stately and measured God save Queen/ King [all time favourite]! You don't need to be intoxicated by anything but a sense of pure fun, dare, and letting go at the moment. You don't need to raise a good flagon of beer just a smile would do instead!

conband Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Another variation on this theme my friend had was to see how many tunes he could play to the same bass line - even more fun if the meters were similar and all the different words sung at the same time.

SIMON GABRIELOW Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Yes, there's numerous approaches to things! I think in Britain we are lucky to have so many good tunes to choose from; and which lend themselves to a ( rather cheeky) opportunity to vary according to mood! Sadly, the flat acoustic of that room I use, with no reverb, makes tune playing all the more tricky! But it's fun whatever!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
