Comments closedMelnet’s theme of the month for December 2011 predictably enough is Christmas tunes, so here we are with another couple of Christmas tunes. Played on a Hohner D/G Pokerwork, and double tracked (in places).
Comments closedA reworking of the East Anglian polka ‘Oh Joe the Boat is Going Over’ into a french style bourree. This mostly involves changing the music to mixolydian mode and playing with a bourree style. Played on a Hohner 1930’s Club in C/F (so the tune comes out in C Mixolydian).
