Just git hit head-on ... what a train wreck. Just realized why my ride spang-a-lang, spang-a-lang sounds a tad different from what I hear on most of the recordings. I'm accenting the 1 and 3, not the 2 and 4. Would have been a bit different had I been with a teacher from the giddy-up.
I have no idea to what extent I'll have to start over regarding the independence issues, but I suspect it'll be a horror movie of some sort. And after three years of working my fanny off to get it together. You guy's know what I mean regarding the hard work it has taken to get all that comping down. Dawson's, Reed's, Riley's, Igoe's ... so many exercises and charts. I am shocked how dependent all of that is to the very subtle difference in the movements of shifting the accent from 1 and 3, to 2 and 4. I'm an idiot. Joey
