Rythme Futur

Bones

For the tremolo sections of Stochelo's video (at about 7 sec and 1min 25 sec into the vid) he ends on an upstroke which I can't seem to get the timing for.

Does anyone know what speed of tremolo would allow one to end on an upstroke there? It would have to be an odd number of strums per beat I guess.

Thanks

Cancel that, I think it's just 16th note triplets

Bones

BTW, does anyone have a grille for the accompanying chords?

thanks

here's the correct way to play it as far as the rosenberg trio version is concerned. enjoy

Wow, that pretty much clears up that mystery!

Thanks D!

Hey all,

I'm trying to learn this diabolical modern piece...love it, but had a question in the B section...in the original Django recording the clarinet takes over the melody which is what I have in a published book.


Chip

What book is that? I'd love to take a look at the clarinet melody.

Hi there,

Here is the book that I have that contains the clarinet melody. I suppose it might be workable on the guitar if you practice it a lot---but I've been working assiduously since the summer on Stochelo's take on that portion. Still nearly impossible, but then I've managed to work up other things if I practice them for years. haha

Anyways here is the link:

Thanks Chip.
I can more or less do Stochelo's version, not up to speed by a long shot but it's the best picking exercise that I've found so far.
I'm now curious to see how hard it is on clarinet.
This is the only time I've ever seen it done.

Hi lezard,

I am using it in the same way---as a a great picking/string skipping lick.. I actually did perform it at a local wine bar with my trio, though quite a bit slower than the tempo Stochelo plays it!

I am planning on playing this for the rest of my life and I figure that when the time is right the high speed tempo will not be impossible for me! In the meantime, I am enjoying the quirky character of this crazy tune, it's so catchy and unique.

Clarinet seems to be an instrument where the execution of speedy figures is fairly idiomatic. I have no idea how well this lick fits on it, but I feel like it might be easier than on guitar.Perhaps it is why Stochelo recomposed it --- so it might work on guitar?
