A bit tense today, so I'll have to work on this more, but since I had everything set up for recording the County Down GP - here ya go. 

 

My version of Cecile Corbel's "En La Mar"

If googly is correct, then this translates to something about the Sea - hope it's okay.

@ABitRusty , @Mark -

Thank you for listening! 

I'm hoping that with a little more practice I'll be able to loosen up & smooth it out (maybe even play all of it in tune). 

Any suggestions you might have that could help me get the 'feel' of the tune better - would be greatly appreciated! 

 

...Thanks for the great Party, Stringy!

@Katie L , @wtw -

Thank you, appreciate you listened! 

Sorry Katie, I'm not very helpful, just wasn't really thinking about any specific bow strokes - except to keep it light .  I was more preoccupied with whether to use pizzicato or bowing at the beginning & still trying to figure a better ending.

@ELCBK  Enchanting tune! Great playing--I think you’ve captured the Sea-ness feel smile

Thank you! 

Nice to hear you are traveling again! 

Do you take your fiddle with you? 

Listening to any traditional folk music?

For this Party, here's the last of the 4 tunes I have to share from recording the other day with my Mini Spark amp & App, using Mortimer - my 5-string A/EV. 

Wanted to see how bad this patch's reverb sounded playing something a little more upbeat.  ...sorry, still haven't quite got all the kinks worked out of "Leaving Brittany".

@Katie L & @ABitRusty -

Thank you, both! 

I'm glad I was able to add to this Party!

Thought this amp patch made my A & E strings sound too bright (for my liking), but all that reverb didn't bother me - I was afraid it might with a faster passage.

I didn't record hardly anything last year, hope to do better this year. 

Appreciate you listened!

Listened to all your tunes Emily really enjoyed them, I think the Electronic gizmos really suit your style of playing, sounding really good, you have obviously put a lot of work in, sounding great. Particularly liked the Mominette sounds very French.

@stringy & @Mark - 

Thank you both for watching! 

 

...just getting started. 

I'm grateful I found a way to tryout & learn about the differences in many amps & effects pedal, how they work - and at such a low cost.  Amplification also makes my goof-ups even MORE noticeable to me, so hopefully it will also help make me a better player. (lol) 

More people need to join the Party!
