I've been playing around with "Battle of the Somme" (a great Scottish 9/8 march in D), playing it in unison on bowlback and, one octave lower, on bouzouki. I now want to add a rhythm part on the bouzouki. Getting the alternating march rhythm right with a mixture of double stops and full chords works fine, but I don't seem to get anywhere trying to figure out the chord changes. Has anybody else tried this tune, or knows of a source for the chord changes?
The version I play is this (http://jc.tzo.net:1742/~jc/cgi/abc/gettune?F=GIF&U=http://users.argonet.co.uk/users/gatherer/tunes/abc/abc2/somme.abc&X=100&T=BATTLEOFTHESOMME&N=BattleOfTheSomme.gif) one.
Many thanks!
Martin
