LOW G DOUBLINGS
PO
POLSKU KLIKN₯Ζ TUTAJ
Doublings are one of the most
common embellishments used. Each
note has its own but the principle is basically the same for all - play a
gracenote from one note to another note and then repeat (double) that note
bu cutting it with another gracenote.
The musical reason for playing
a doubling is to make a particular note stand out.
A Low G doubling works
by playing a High G gracenote to Low G and then doubling that Low
G by cutting it into two with a D gracenote.
The Order of Events for
a Low G Doubling is as follows:
1.
Preceding note - E in example 7.
2.
Open High G gracenote.
3.
Change to Low G.
5.
Close High G gracenote.
6.
Double Low G by cutting it in half with a D gracenote.
7.
End on Low G.
When coming from High G
remember to use the Thumb Gracenote (example 8):
1.
High G.
2.
Open thumb gracenote.
3.
Make Low G
5.
Put down thumb.
6.
Double Low G with a D gracenote.
7.
End on Low G.
As it is impossible to
play a High G gracenote from High A,
one simply goes straight to Low G and then doubles it in the usual
manner (example 8):
1.
High A.
2.
Put down Low G (little finger).
3.
Put down High A.
4.
Double Low G with a D gracenote.
5.
End on Low G.
