i was playing with a western swing band last night, and came up with a neat little thing i thought i'd share. we were playing a song in F, with a desending chord pattern that goes A7-D7-G7-C7-F7. i found that i could play a chromatically desending double stop that goes like this:
A7 D7 G7 C7 F7
D string 5(G) 4(Gb) 3(F) 2(E) 1(Eb)
A string 4(C#) 3© 2(B) 1(Bb) 0(A)
it sounds really cool in a song like "please don't talk about me when i'm gone" when the band is chunking along, and you play this with tremolo. i really like how the 3rd and 7th flip-flop back and forth.
happy new year!
