Don't worry! Just play 3rds when you don't know what to do. And take care to know, when there is a 4-3. There play the 3rd only after whatsoever confusion and dissonance... ;-) Arto PS It is utterly important that you have practice! Even the recorder players will do... ;.) Singers are the best, because normally they don't know anything of the rhythm and pulse; you normally will be the boss with the singers... And take care you know those things then... :-) To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
