RE: upload-Sevillanas (in reply to Guest)

Cool. The first one is a standard, though you tossed in a weird chord. The others sounded real familiar too. What where you improvising exactly? Just around those chord progressions in the other 3? I am sure you must have worked out that last picado run. If not, that turned out amazingly cool.

I think if accompanying dance, improvising is a bit dangerous, at least for me, because I like to hit "tensions" when I improvise, so I might give a false sense of resolution to the dancer and throw them off. I prefer having it worked out, with the resolutions real clear and "pulling" the dancers where they want to go. Of course when I "F" up, I actually DO have to improvise to keep it going. But man I think it sounds lame, and I see the worried look on the faces even though I know we won't lose they beat. It is like a little tight rope walk there for a split second, scary.

Anyway, sounds good, looks like a cool site. Just to let you know I was clicking all over the place trying to get something to highlight, and suddenly it downloaded, but I am not sure what triggered it exactly. I use a MAC.
