Play-Along Tracks
Using tempo change to add interest: Both tunes in this set are in E minor, so the transition from one tune to another is not dramatic. By abruptly increasing the tempo at the transition to the second tune, you can make the set more exciting to play and hear. The third play-along track below does just that, with the first tune played at 65 bpm and the second at 85 bpm. (Of course, if you are playing for dancers, an abrupt tempo change may be an unwelcome surprise.)
King of the Fairies (Em)
The Pride of Petravore (Em)
Tips: Each change of tunes is signaled by a spoken “hup.” Use the Playback Speed control to increase or decrease the playback tempo. (Click on the 3-dot symbol on the right-hand side of the the player to get to the Playback Speed control.)
