HI Johnny /Mark

I’d like to help Paddy, but I didn’t use the chart, I transcribed it by ear.
From low D to high D you can put in a fast chromatic run. Doesn’t really matter which notes but as long as you
hit the high D hard and on the beat.
Hope that helps.
cheers Mark.

I am a long way from been able to transcribe something like that by ear, thats a great skill to have in the tool box. But i shall work on the chromatic run up to nailing the high D. Thank Mark

Paddy, think of it like this; there’s a bunch of notes between the middle D and the high D, just play them all as you go from one D to the next.
It’s not even a matter of playing a chromatic scale, that would be too many notes. It’s like if you did it on a piano and slid your finger from those two notes, you would be hitting all the white keys along the way. Does this make sense?

[King Casey]

Yeah what Johnny said. Think of it like Jerry Lee Lewis’s well used parlour trick 🙂
cheers, Mark.
