So what would have happened if a Sailor danced their Hornpipe to Jamaican Reggae? Let's find out!
Here's a fun piece for players and audience alike - the traditional Sailor's Hornpipe sitting on top of a Reggae-like accompaniment. To be honest, the tune got a bit damaged in the re-assembly, but it's recognizable.
Guitar 1 is the tune, and the rhythm plays a few tricks here - firstly it's definitely in a swing style, but the repeated phrases have a few notes just ahead of the beat on the second playing.
Guitar 2 has a small number of 3-string chords - the first occurrence of each is fingered. They need to be quite crisp and short.
Guitar 3 is supplied in both treble and bass clefs - in a larger ensemble, you can use one or both in your ensemble. And it’s ideal for those with limited experience of guitar.
