Here is the from Monday 27th online class, a Swedish tune called Schottis fran Idre – it’s made its way over to some English sessions, and I’m not to pretend that we’re playing it in an authentic Swedish style! The first video is an arrangement of the tune, harmony, chords and bass line – my ukulele is very much out of action at the moment, so I had to substitute my fiddle in, I hope you can still hear the patterns and chords! The second video is a walk through of the tune with a slow version of the tune played through at the end (there is text throughout to help orientate yourself).
Here are the dots for the tune and harmony as taught in the online session, with a PDF available here.
