Duka report

Once again, here is another great tambura lick from Jerry Grcevich. The lick comes from standard tambura repertoire for most experienced tamburasi. The Hungarian Czardas is one of the most fun and exciting songs to hear and play. Jerry makes it even more interesting by adding his own signature improvisation to theme A. The improv is appealing because it is very melodic without a great deal of skips and jumps in the line. It fits in perfectly with the chord structure and really compliments the original theme.
Try to keep as many groupings of four sixteenth notes on the same string. For example, in the second measure, play the last four notes on the second string. Crossing over strings at awkward times may cause you to accidentally hit undesired tones or to not play cleanly. The same goes for measure 10. Some people may prefer to cross strings after sets of 2 sixteenth notes. That is fine also. My personal preference is sets of 4 for a more smooth flow. Enjoy, this one is one of my all-time favorites!
