Shenandoah- on mountain dulcimer and guitar

Robin Thompson » Audio » Shenandoah- on mountain dulcimer and guitar

Artist: Robin & Mark Thompson
Duration: 00:02:12

Description:
I am not at all used to trying to play with a metronome. Funny, on this recording, you can hear metronome clicks on both ends and at times through the tune. It was unintentional-- we didn't realize our recorder would pick up earbud noise. :) In any case, I want to work with a metronome further just for fun to help me get the feel of actually playing to a steady beat. I'm not good about keeping a steady beat even when I want to.

@jan-potts Thank you-- porch season is coming!  :) We recorded this as part of Ariane's music project for which Shenandoah was, fittingly, chosen to honor Maddie MacNeil.

Absolutely lovely!  It's music to swing to in a hammock or porch swing...very soothing!  Great job, you two!

@jill-geary and @kevin-r Thank you, folks!  It is a timeless melody and was a great exercise in playing slowly and cleanly as much as we were able to.

@Dan We need a different set-up yet really needed the metronome to keep at a solid 60bpm as best we could.

I never thought of using an ear piece for the metronome!

@Dusty-Turtle Thanks for the nice comment.  The tempo set for this tune established how we would play it.  A metronome can be a helpful tool for learning and I don't want to give up on using one once in awhile, at least.  Having an in-house guitar player helps me lots.  :)

What sensitive playing, Robin. So soft, so delicate, so precise.  And Mark always does a great job of laying a solid foundation and never stealing the spotlight.

I used a metronome for all the audio demos for my last book and it was a real humbling challenge.

@Steven-Berger & @Gordon-Hardy Thank you, gentlemen!  

It has been a challenge to work with a metronome yet Mark & I both found the exercise of benefit and want to use the metronome on some tunes to help us not speed up (like we always seem to want to do).
