another useful technique in jig time,is to experiment with reversing the bellows,on every first beat of the bar,where one might tap ones foot. of course it can be predictable,if you dont sometimes vary it,sometimes to play the lead in note with the first beat,much as some traditional fiddlers mighton one bow,can sound good also. but as the main emphasis is on the first beat of six in jig time,a reversal at this point,will help that emphasis,occasionally reversing on the fourth beat will give some variety too.
