Subject: C&W flavor.
I've got to play on and solo in a new song for an upcoming show called "Get Drunk & Screw" by Jimmy Buffet. Ok, ok, not the most flattering song, but please try to get by it.
Anyway, it is a country and western song and I was wondering if anyone out there could give me some ideas to get a good C&W flavor. I know already that I should use 5 draw (because its too flat by one semitone). I also read in a book that a typical C&W scale based on C major is:
G A B D E G
Finally I think I read somewhere that C&W harp generally keeps the bending and vibrato to a minimum. Can anyone out there help me out? What about chording? Please hurry I could use this info by Wednesday. Thanks.
