Good morning, Nostr ☀️ Hope you’re having a great day. This is just a little St. Anne’s Reel progress update! Today I’m off book, no sheet music! Also playing a bit faster than yesterday. I’ve dropped that slight swing I had before, and now I’m playing the rhythm more straight, just with a touch of bounce. God, I love this tune. It’s so fun and beautiful. I still have to think a bit as I go, but a few more days of practice… and a few more years of playing it… and it’ll be totally in my bones. I love this process. Hope you enjoy. 🎻 #musicstr

Thank you! Yeah, it’s such a great tune. There are so many amazing renditions of it. The real fun of learning tunes is to transcribe them by ear from a version you like… and to try to really pick up all the nuances of rhythm, feel, ornamentation. That’s how to go really deep with it!
