GRIPS
(LEAMLUATH)
PO
POLSKU KLIKN₯C TUTAJ
A Grip is an embellishment
which essentially rests between two notes, either cutting or linking together,
somewhat like a gracenote. It is
very simple and always the same, except
when coming from D.
Simply, a grip is a low G
which has been cut into two apparently equals parts by a D gracenote.
When preceded by D, the Low G is cut by the B finger (up and down
once). Both Low Gs should be
perceived as sounding the same length.
Order of Events:
1.
Note - B in example 31.
2.
Make low G (putting down your little finger first).
3.
Cut Low G into two equal parts with a D gracenote.
4.
Make sure to sound and FEEL the second Low G before moving on!
5.
Lift next note - E in example 30.
From D (example
32):
1.
D.
2.
Make low G.
3.
Cut Low G with B gracenote.
4.
Make sure to sound and FEEL the second Low G before moving on!
5.
Lift next note - F in example 31.
