Thread Name: metronome help
Subject: RE: metronome help
That Connemara performance is WAY slower than I've ever heard the tune played before. You can see how it makes perfect sense to do it that way with the dancing, and it sounds great in its own right, but don't expect anyone in Scotland to play it that slow! (The feet are basically doing an even 12/8 over the 2/2 of the fiddle).

This is normal session speed for the same tune, though his title suggests a different rhythmic activity I'm not about to suggest a metronome speed for: The Liverpool ****pipe
