This was our first session of the new year and we were pleased to welcome again Paul who visited us for the first time just before Christmas.
Tom counted us in for ensemble playing tonight, starting with a four part arrangement of Walking in the Air. Then we tackled Bai Mudan, White Peony, a traditional Chinese Folk Song arranged by Andrew Forrest; a lovely tune - watch out for D sharps!
The three South American tunes all arranged in three parts by Ethor Thorlaksson had fewer sharps but rhythms proved still to be tricky.
These pieces are some that we are considering when we play in the Bromley Guitar Festival on Sunday 8 th March. There are only a few sessions before then, so we need to listen harder to each other, polish up and work on dynamics.
There were no solo pieces this evening.
Our next session is on Saturday 18th January.
Happy guitar playing in 2020!
