This is a great lesson Kyle.. Thank you 🙏🏽! I love that you include the historical background. Tracing this conceptually back to a war on the Crimean peninsula .. then through blues interpretation and adaptation is truly awesome. Love it ❤
Great video! I think it’s worth mentioning here that Elizabeth Cotten played upside down with fingers on the bass notes and thumb on the melody. It’s one of many reasons it’s so challenging to get the feel right when learning her remarkable playing.
another great video thanks!! Do you mind me asking a question, do you have any trouble playing snippets of other artists music on your vids in terms of copyright etc, I'd like to do similar? all the best Ed
Nice video. You got that right about the rhythmic complexity of left hand hammering while keeping the thumb bass driving. To be precise, Mrs. Cotten's "Vestapol" is more than likely not based on "The Siege Of Sebastopol," but one of another series of pieces by Mr. Worrall that were a bit more approachable for students and much easier to sight read called "Six Mexican Dances: Tuned Like Sebastopol."
Thanks for the video. I’ve watched it several times and it has been helpful. I still don’t understand what makes vestapol “misunderstood “if you’re trying to say that folk music is misunderstood because people try to learn pieces strictly note for note, I get it but what makes vestapol misunderstood?
Hey dude! That’s awesome, glad the vids been helpful. As far as what makes it misunderstood, it’s just a light hearted comment regarding the history. Most people don’t know about the Henry Worral connection. Hope that clears it up!
