NEGC Meeting Minutes April 11th, 2005
Attendees: David, Dev, Glenn, Martin, Victor
We arrived and began by tuning. Guitar were then remove and we worked with the rhythm introduced last week. We began with the basic pattern in the hands then went on to marching (8th notes) and accenting the count (16th notes). Victor showed us a 6th note pattern as well but this proved more difficult. We sat and went back to the original pattern and added variations such as counting 4, keeping the left hand going and varying the beats accented by the right hand etc.(If anyone cares to add more detail to this feel free, I was having enough trouble with the basic pattern!)
We move on and split up to learn the first bars of IBE. Glenn, Martin and Victor on lead and Dev and David on base. We merged back together and Dev and Victor played the lead and bass parts together. Glenn will provide tab/chart.
Victor spoke of the importance of the pattern to learning IBE and hearing the
16th note grid “musically”.Circulation work:-Cmaj scale, three octaves, asc and dec. We did this once then failed to repeat it a second time. Victor the added skipping a person after every fifth note (there were 5 of us). We failed and tried varations, just counting, saying the note names, counting and playing. We almost made it with some sketchy notes, but not with confidence. Discussion of the division of attention when skipping ensued.
-circulating the C Maj pentatonic scale. We did this asc and desc, then with a star patterns and it’s reverse and finally the reverse of the asc, desc initial sequence.
We spoke of Askesis and Victor told us some history of its origins at Claymont. Comments about 4ths and 5ths led to Victor showing us an alternate Calliope.
