    Here’s a tune from Baron at Mandolessons, nice tune but I couldn’t find it anywhere else...
    Enjoy!

    I love this and most of your Christmas camp recordings (can’t comment them all).

    Thanks Frithjof and Dennis, me too, I don't want to comment too much!

    But thanks for the reminder Dennis, I appreciate it. If I start to record a tune and I'm a bit stressed, I find that I start to focus more on certain things than others. For me it's rhythm and bounce!

    Usually, just before recording a tune I can tell if the tone is going to be good or not. Any complicated finger movements, and tone go out of the window if I’m tired, then I just think about rhythm. Yet another thing to work on.

    This is a nice one, Simon. I like the back track propelling you into the bouncy beat.

    Thanks CC and Ginny. I think this is a great practice tune.
    I use D D DUDUD D DU etc. on it but there is a swing rhythm to it which is quite difficult to hold onto as the tempo increases.
    The melody itself is quite straight forward, it’s just the rhythm, so it’s great for smoothing out right hand flow.
