GRIP, don't THROW!!


Since we have our formal “kilting” coming up on Monday (2/11/13) Joe and Neal reviewed our playing the marches.  (A process LONG overdue in my opinion!!)

At any rate, I played The Green Hills of Tyrol followed by The Battle’s Over.  These are staples for us at this point.

I thought I did well, if a little fast.  But Joe pointed out that my fingering was a little rushed and I was missing some of the embellishments.

So I was going over the music today and I realized that I’d been playing all the grips as D-throws.  What’s more, I COULDN’T REMEMBER HOW TO PLAY A GRIP!  Seriously, I had to re-teach myself!

Now I gotta go back and see if I can eliminate the bad habit from all my tunes….
