How to adapt your repertoire
- Whether singing or playing, get people to join in with a long low drone or untuned drums.
- When playing from your folk tune repertoire, flatten all your 7ths (turning the major scale into the mixolydian mode). Here is a search for mixolydian mode tunes
- Sing in a raw style and emphasise the story behind the song.
