Ken Kolodner: Misconceptions of Left-Hand Lead: “Are You Sleeping Maggie” (Friday, Session 1, Non-Level-Specific, Hammered Dulcimer) 15HD107
Have you heard? “You need to be left-handed,” “Start with your left hand,” “Left hand plays melody,” “This tune requires a right-hand lead,” “Harmony should be above melody.” Not true! I will define what left-hand lead (LHL) does and does NOT mean! We will use LHL to learn this haunting Scottish reel and demonstrate how LHL opens the bass bridge for chords, basslines, and separating harmony from melody, without switching your lead-hand.
