Ignoring the flubs, am playing Off to California as in a hornpipe rhythm? Am  I exaggerating the rhythm?

Flubs aside, that's pretty much the hornpipe rhythm.  A hornpipe, does have a distinctive rolling/bouncy rhythm.  It's ONE two THREE four, ONE two THREE four.  Or if you prefer WAterMElon, WAterMElon...

Thanks!!  As I have been searching the internet for explanations I have heard so many say that most people aren't true to the hornpipe and "flatten them out."  I want to be as true as possible.

Yes, they are good!!

Good job.  I love hornpipes as they are just so much fun.  I'm playing one for my next recital.  

 

Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.

GO FOR IT and enjoy !

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

Thanks,
