161 The King’s Mistress
Another cute little ditty from 400 Songs and Dances from the Stuart Masques. I worked on a lot of variations of position and fingerings, but then decided this set would work the best. I’m staying in position (1st finger on 17th fret of D string) on the top line just about throughout, moving down for the B natural, and then for both the Bb and G in bar 5. On the left hand, I’m also staying pretty closely in position (3rd finger on the G, 10th fret on A string), opting to shift down for the low Bb, but then moving right back into position until the last bar.
A lot of those choices become easier to make when you fire up the metronome.
Anyway, click the image below for a full size image, and let me know what you think. I tried recording a video but the audio on my webcam was really junky. I’ll get that figured out sometime.
