Do you use drones in your music? A drone is a note or notes that continue throughout a piece or section of music. Both the Scottish and Irish bagpipes use drone pipes. It's those notes, usually in fifths, that keep playing through the melody. A 5 string banjo has a drone string. There are drone tones used in Indian music. Early organ music will have a pedal tone.

Many folks will play a G, C, and D chord on the guitar while keeping the notes D and G on the top two strings (making a G, Cadd9, and D sus4).

How about you, do you drone? How about me, am I simply droning on?

All the Best,
Mike


You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash

It's only music.
