You can't beat a William Clarke instrument to make you smile. I'm a big fan of Bill as well. I have transcribed this song... if you would like a copy drop me an email.
Hello David I have a question for you
Could you send me the transcription for "blowing the family jewels" I have the whole song figured out except the part towards the second turn around when he does triplets either on 5-6 or 6-7 then goes back to 8 draw. That would be SO helpful to see what is the right way. My email is Andrewbfa0@hotmail.com or just send it someway on here. Thanks!
Andrew
Cool man!
I think Bill Clarke would be happy to hear this version. Really great work Wheel!
Thanks a lot! I hope he will
Thanks a lot! I hope he will :)) I realy appreciate your comment!
Wow!!
Wow - that's some wicked work on the ten holes!! Rhythmic patterns steady all the way and nice articulation. Switch to low notes @1:00 pops out . Cool effect @1:20 (what was it?). Thanks for sharing this - man it's good!!
Hello Hank! Thanks a lot for
Hello Hank! Thanks a lot for the comment :) It was very hard to play this song because tempo is very high for me. I try to play it better now and use big octaves (4-7 and 5-8). About effect on 1:20 try to play like this:
1 1 2'' 2'' 1 1 4 4
1 1 2'' 2' ' 1 1 4* 4*
1 1 2'' 1 1 4 4* 3'' 1
* - blow,
'' - 2 bends
