Brittany Teaches “Down the Hatch,” Part 1: Melody and Bowing
Brittany recorded her original tune “Down the Hatch” with guitarist Jordan Tice and bassist Paul Kowert on their debut recording, You Got This. The tune has an old-time feel but more of a song or march–like melody than the regular stream of eighth notes of many old-time fiddle tunes. It has two parts but the parts have irregular bar lengths. The first A has 24 measures, the second A 22 measures, and the B parts have 16 bars each. Brittany starts this lesson by playing “Down the Hatch” through with guitarist Scott Nygaard and then breaks down the melody of each part phrase by phrase. She also shows you the double stops she uses to highlight the chord progression, and talks about her bowing.
