Hi folks
Here`s my flatpicking guitar arrangement of a nice old-timey modal (mixolydian)
fiddle tune, Kitchen Girl. (It`s also sometimes known by its politically
correct title, The Food Preparation Area Person. ;^) This is kind of a rough
guide to how I play this one. I tend to get the third and fourth strings
ringing pretty much throughout the first part as a sort of drone, and try to
let the notes ring into one another as much as possible. I`ve indicated some
optional notes, which are (in parentheses).
Also, I`ve just given general directions for the accompaniment chords. Learn
the tune first, and the chords should fall into place. Where I`ve indicated Dm,
F will usually work, too. Where I`ve indicated D/Dm/F I mean D or Dm or F.
Use bass runs in measure three of the four-bar phrases. The standard G to D
walkup sounds good going from G to Dm in measure 19, etc. Like most of these
modal tunes, it kind of accompanies itself, and the chord choices aren`t that
critical (at least to my ear).
This one`s usually played in A, so put Mr. Capo [tm] on the second fret. I play
it around 210 - 240 beats/minute. Be sure to use strict down-up-down-up
alternate picking for eighth note passages.
