----- INTRO -----
The purpose of this page is to provide an idea of what kind of music I play,
re. music written and composed by other people. Hopefully, it will provide a
basis for an understanding of my musical style, via my listing of ranking
preferences re. which instrument I prefer to do the music on for each song.
It's worth mentioning before getting into the list, that I really don't do
anything the same way the original artist did it. Everything's
phase-shifted a bit toward the scruffy blue end of the spectrum.
It's also worth mentioning, that to keep things simple and the list uncluttered, I haven't been
meticulous about making notes within the list in places where the current preference is vague, or
I don't know the name of artist &/or author. The metronome settings which I enter into this list
are simply my preferences - not the rates at which the originals were done.
The list I'm presenting here has 3 columns: Title of the piece, preferred Metronome Setting, and
Preferred instrument. In the sections termed "Miscellaneous", when I know the source of
the piece, I place that data under the Title. This list continues to be a "work in progress".
Every now and then, I remember that I used to have something memorized (or have something memorized
at the current time), and when that happens I enter it into the list. When I go to practice something
and use the metronome, if the rate I settle on isn't in the list, then I add it. No rate specified
means I haven't practiced that particular piece using the metronome, since I began this list.
Here are the meanings of the abbreviations I use in the 3rd column:
|
A6 = Acoustic 6-string guitar
|
|
A12 = Acoustic 12-string guitar
|
|
E6 = Electric 6-string guitar
|
|
EB = Electric Bass guitar
|
|
V4 = Acoustic 4-string Viola
|
|
V5 = Electric 5-string Viola
|
