One time around the block, very basic form, one handed – trying to overcome bruised shoulder and ribs. I don’t sing in front of people, so submitting humming/lalas to go with my left hand is progress for me. I wish I could have presented the lush chords and melodies I played the last few weeks, but I worked with what I had.

I’m playing with just my left arm, I bruised my right shoulder and ribs. I couldn’t get through it more than one time, but I wanted to see what I could do with one hand.

In this video I’m playing the chorus of “Somebody loves me” from George Gershwin.

What do you think about it? What could I improve? I play the descending bassline in the bridge only with the thumb. Is this possible? This week I will start with the improvisation.

This is the 96bpm swing/latin drum beat. I’m playing RH Pivot – LH slap #4. Excuse the mess, I needed to be able to reach the computer and also my Thormahlen has a busted string.
Oddly enough, I found the Latin easier to do than the Swing. My mom sang a slot of swing tunes, (a la “Up A Lazy River”) so I thought that was weird.

I don’t know if you can tell, but as the pivot grew wider and I wanted to switch the lower finger, it kept messing me up. Suggestions on what do to about that?

Swing/Latin rhythm practice. I used “chord & bass 04” except I changed the key to Bb/Gm. Its the key I sing Autumn leaves.
My query is between the swing and latin: latin is more syncopated? using more notes accentuate the rhythm?

I have worked the 04 chord & bass before but not on the electric harp. Its different. I really have to get my thumb up to play what I think is the Latin rhythm. Im getting closer to that I think. I set the F# (Im in Bb/Gm) so I didnt have to think about it . Am I finding the difference in rhythms? I did work with the different speed backing tracks – after that (whew) workout, I really wanted to see if Im close to understanding the difference as I fall into tango rhythm so easily.

In this video I tried to use some of the rhythms from the work sheets and to have some different atmospheres.
I had a melody in my head and I tried to sing it while playing.
I only play and sing at the same time when I am sure no one can hear me… I thought I had to try and dare for the video…

What do I need to do to have the right balance in notes and tone between harp and voice? Keep singing in tune while playing?
What can I do to be able to feel comfortable doing this maybe on stage (after improving a bit…)?
Is there anything else you want me to know about your video?
This is the very first time I share something voice and harp with people that are not my husband or daughter….. it feels a bit scary, but also very uplifting to have done so…..

Two choruses of the short roadmap where I’m trying to differentiate a swing feel and a Latin feel in the two sections.

I’m using a stride bass in my left hand & improvising in my right. I was going for a Swing feel the first time through and a Latin the second time. Not sure I was successful so what might I do get to get the right feeling. I always feel very classical when I play so I find these styles difficult for me to get the feel and groove.
