Choan Galvez – Drama-in-the-box (Tab)
Today’s post is a guest post from Choan Galvez taken from his 50 Miniature Studies for Ukulele.
Most of the piece is played on a banjo roll style arpeggio involving three fingers. Accentuate the first two notes in every bar to create a sense of ethereal melody. You can even add some dramatism by slowing the beat just a little on the start of the measure.
Grips are fixed for the full measure in almost every bar, and position shifts are minimal. Maybe you’ll need some practice to achieve a smooth transition into bar 6, otherwise, I’d call this one a quite feasible piece.”
About the project:
I’m publishing a collection of 50 short pieces for ukulele solo I’ve title 50 Miniature Studies for Ukulele, at a rate of two videos per week. Videos are released every Wednesday and Friday each week and can be found on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. The tabs, performance notes and other goodies are accessible for patrons through Choan’s Patreon page.
Thanks to Choan for the tab. And here’s my take on the tune.
