The G minor Karimba
First Song, Variation 2

Last week we looked at Variation 1 of my first karimba song. This week we look at a second variation.

First Gm Karimba Song, var2
The second variation in my first Gm Karimba song.
Download the KTabS file for the second variation.

In these two variations, the right thumb is always on the down beat. The 1 and the 5 of the G minor chord are presented on the down beats in the first two measures. The 3 of the G minor chord is the Bb which is played on the left side, so the two sides do work together to create arpegiated chords.

The 1 and the 3 of he D minor chord are presented on the down beats in the last two measures. The 5 of the D minor chord is A, which is played twice on the left side.
