it’s coup de quatre all the way with the bar emphasis moving backwards through all positions in the 4, count 7 playing coup de 4, bar 1 starts on 1, bar 2 starts on 4, bar 3 starts on 3 and bar 4 starts on 2 etc, then the pattern repeats.”</p>http://www.gurdypedia.com/post/46067076523http://www.gurdypedia.com/post/46067076523Sat, 23 Mar 2013 13:46:10 +0100hurdy-gurdyNigel
