Thread Name: Chords in Folk?
Subject: RE: Chords in Folk?
I play a lot of music on fiddle with a Bozouki player, and find that he adds a lot of depth to the music I play. A simple tune, played however well can get pretty boring, but with decent backing can sound incredible.
At a session once a woman fairly new to the melodeon started playing the Bear Dance. Slowly the musicians around her joined in, with chords, runs, counter melodies and all ... which developed into one of the most incredible tunes I have ever heard.
