Broken String
I am always searching for.
Does the harp guitar like chords?
Or is the harp guitar a single-note instrument?
I reported on my blog the day before yesterday that I had decided on my next song, but I decided to make it an ensemble of harp guitar and piano.
Originally, this piece was to be a piano and violin piece.
However, we couldn’t have a meeting in Corona, and the song was left hanging in the air without any progress in the discussion.
Now that I have bought an e-bow, I believe I should be able to express the string part of the piece as well.
I have set the HG for the e-bow in the same tuning as the cello, C, G, D, and A from the bottom, plus C and E.
I was so close to being able to get to the same violin register as the score without using an effector, so today I went out on a limb and raised it to C, G, D, A, E, and G. The result was fine, but I had to try to get it to the right register.
As a result, it was fine, but there was a phrase that was difficult to play without using A on the free string, so I raised it further to A. The tuning was fine.
However, after a little playing, the string broke as if it was unraveling.
It was a terrible pity, but A was too high.
This left me with a choice again.
Do I use the octaver?
Or rewrite the score for HG?
It just occurred to me that it would be theoretically possible to use the e-bow in the early passages and step into the octaver only on the first note of the triplet A.
However, since the speed is so fast, I want the octaver effect to be applied only when the e-bow is depressed.
If this were picking, it would be no problem at all.
Why would I go that far and want a single note on a HG fretless?
Anyway, we won’t know the answer until we try it.
I am someone who sincerely seeks success from trials of my own choosing rather than the right answer given to me.
It will still take time to realize it, but I can see the way.
So I am going to savor this process.
To my heart’s content.
