Thankyou for lesson. Found this in my grade book, avoided it as I am not good with chords, but now I find it very easy with your explanations. Great tutorial.

Like double thirds on the piano: the two fingers striking the keys exactly together so as not get a "grace note" effect

[@JoshLayne]

Indeed!

Hey Josh, did you get my Harp Tuesday Request in one of your Previous Harp Tuesday Videos you released a while back?

[@JoshLayne]

Hi Arianna, just replied! :)

[@caroleadams5050]

with the stems of the accented G's going down, (near the end) I've always played them with my left hand, because normally, the stem would go up. How do you know if its left hand or just say, another voice part for the right hand?

[@JoshLayne]

Hi Carole, no way to know for sure, but the fact that Hasselman's assigns it to the 2nd finger (rather that 1, which is what I would use if I were playing it with the left hand) and the fact that it fits so nicely (and is similar to earlier patterns when the G wasn't part of a 2nd voicing) would lead me to want to play it in the right hand. Sometimes a downward stem is used to indicate which hand to play with, but not always... In this case I think it's just to indicate the different voicing. No right or wrong choice, though! If you prefer the left hand, great :)
