GUEST,Les B.	How to play variations ? (14)	RE: How to play variations ?	11 Feb 04
leeneia, et al - thanks, some great ideas here, I like the octave hops. I do play parts of tunes up or down an octave when it's feasible. I'm still trying to figure out how to play 3rd or 5th harmony notes - it's not as easy as I first imagined! My problem is I don't read music, so sitting down and writing out a variation is out of the question. I also find that when I sit down and learn a tune note for note, then I have a hard time getting off it - my ear & hands keep telling me I'm playing a "wrong" note. If I don't know the tune by heart I have a better time improvising around it.
