Playing “In The Box”
Many tunes can be played in a “box” between the position markers. Experiment with tunes in the “D - Box”, and the “G - Box.”
Helpful Hints:
• Learn the names of the strings. It will help you learn the tunes faster....
particularly in a workshop setting.
• Hold the hammers, loosely, between the thumb and index finger. Bounce the
hammer, lightly, on the strings, using a wrist motion. To develop a good technique,
don’t use the full arm ... this increases you chances of error.
• Alternate hammers. Plan your hammering patterns so that you cross over the treble
bridge with the hand thats closest to the bridge. This keeps your hammering smooth.
Being aware of this will keep you from having to resort to an awkward movement.
• Practice scales and arpeggios ... these not only will help you become familiar with
your stringboard, but you will use scales and arpeggios to add embellishments to the
melody of the tunes.
• Listen to lots of recordings of the style of music you want to learn to play.
• Take advantage of EVERY opportunity to play with others. This is the best way to
develop the ability to keep a steady beat and to learn new tunes.
