Randy Clepper: Accompanying Irish Music: Chords and Countermelodies (Friday, Session 5, Level 3 - Intermediate, All Instruments) 15AL002
What’s different about accompanying Irish music versus other traditional music styles? We’ll explore chord choices that suit the modal nature of much of the music. We’ll look at alternatives to full chords such as drones, movable patterns and countermelodies. Information here is useful for any accompaniment instrument -- guitars, bouzoukis, keyboards, even dulcimers!
