Jen Wood Music 🏳️⚧️Goofing around tonight on the tenor, and out came a sweet, spare version of "soft all the time."
Might pull that out in concert sometime.
Turns out you can do a lot with a few chord forms and the ability to count to 12.
Turns out this really cracked open the tenor for me. Picked it up again right after breakfast, tried a different song.
I was playing a barre chord for Bb and thought, there's gotta be an open form... found it partly through logic and partly by ear. Leaves a finger free for melody, too. Sweet!
And a little moving my fingers around, a moveable form. Noice.
More puzzle pieces to think about for arrangements!
Okay, so there's this powerful queer anthem of a song I'm polishing up, which I usually play on the 12-string, but have been rehearsing on the tenor mostly for ease of counting measures, to square everything up to be "studio ready."
Only, now, I can't decide which is more effective: the tiny but determined sound of the four-string, or the walloping resonance of the twelve.
Try them both out with the band this Sunday I guess.
Fun problem to have, though!
Seventeenth Magpie@jvw I'm a sucker for a loud 12-string. Puts me in the mind of Leslie Fisher and a good friend from my local session.
