Margaret’s Waltz, Part 1: Waltz-Picking Exercises
The first waltz you’ll learn is the lovely “Margaret’s Waltz,” which was composed in 1959 as an English country dance tune. Marla explains the waltz rhythm and how it differs from a jig and a reel, with a rhythmic pattern in the right hand more like a reel, although waltzes are, of course, in 3/4. The one and, two and, three and of the waltz is played down-up, down-up, down-up, with a continuous hand motion, just like in a reel. To get your hand moving in waltz rhythm, Marla gives you a series of exercises to play.
