Genuine musical question here for the more technically adept that me, IE, most people! I can understand what Jack means about tapping 2 to the bar in 6/8 but from what I understand, and how I hear it, jigs do not emphasise, for instance, 1 and 4. On accordion the bass provides the emphasis and the lift to the tune. Depending how it fits, I would be playing bass/chord/chord on a 3/4 while a 6/8 would be bass/chord/rest/bass/chord/rest or bass/rest/chord/bass/rest/chord to give much more of a heartbeat type rhythm. Fanny Power does not have that 'pulse' when I hear it so I play bass/chord/chord, which works in either 3/4/ or 6/8 but does not come across as a jig. Is that right or am I missing something?
