RE: [Harp-L] "A-Train"

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

I corner-switch through the entire passage. The chromatic note sequences are no problem that way - they're just notes in one corner or the other. In the following (L) is left corner and (R) is right corner.

G (L)

E (R)

G (L)

C E  (R)

G#ÂÂÂÂÂ AÂ Â A# B (L)

E (R)

G Gb F (L)

Db C  (R)

E (L)

---Lots of the responses on this have involved using corner [or tongue] switching for this part of the tune...bars 1-5. I don't disagree that corner-switching helps with this, butÂfor me the real problem isn't with this part of the tune, it's with the next two bars...the little chromatic passage A-A#-B-E then G-F#-F-C# [all in one bar!] then C-E.

ÂÂÂHere i don't think corner-switching is relevent, and here is where, I think, the tune is difficult. At least for meÂ:-)
