Hello all. I'd like to try "l'accord du pieds" that French Canadian fiddlers do - clogging out a complex rhythm during seated playing (or at least complex compared to the foot tapping you usually see).

On the fiddle-l list I found two descriptions of ways to clog a reel, which I will copy below. If anyone knows other ways that Quebecers tap a reel, or what the patterns are for other kinds of tunes, I'd appreciate knowing them.

Reel, version one:

1. Left toe.
2. Right toe, or whole right foot.
3. Left heel, with extra emphasis.
4. Rest.

Reel, version two:

1. Right food, with emphasis.
2. Left heel.
3. Left toe.
4. Rest.
