advanced Brighton Park standard tuning
|
Here's a sneak peek at my new album. It's a student version of the old traditional English song called
"Brighton Park", which was, like many other pieces, stolen by the American colonists. It was renamed
"The Girl I Left Behind Me" and later was the theme song of General Custer.
In my usual way I
play the A theme in two different octaves and try to take full advantage of the fingerboard. Notice
that the third measure of line 2 and 6 are the same and the second measure of line 3, 4, and 6 are very
similar.
This is a very challenging, yet rewarding piece of music. There are some big stretches
for the left hand in the first measure of line 3 and 4. Use the left hand fingering I've indicated in
the tab. Also take your time to articulate all the hammer-ons and pull-offs so they sound clear and
not muddied. There's a lot of counterpoint and harmonies going on in this piece. Take your time and
listen to the MP3's. Good Luck!!
