Thread Name: Found a good DADGAD book
Subject: RE: Found a good DADGAD book
Hi 'nut - re your questions, sorry no lyrics but music and tab for the following: Jigs:the monument, the cricket's march over the saltbox, the coming of spring, munster buttermilk, charlie hunter's jig, the frieze britches Reels:the chicago reel, the green fields of glentown, sailor's return, the tempest, beare island Hornpipes:walsh's hornpipe, kitty's wedding, the blackbird Polkas:ballydesmond polka, denis murphy's, john ryan's

I'm not greatly knowledgeable of Irish tunes as I play in a ceilidh band playing mostly Scottish stuff (I'm from Glasgow) but I've certainly heard of a few of the above.

Another good tuning is DADGBD - saw Kate Rusby using this to great effect (see earlier post if interested?)

Cheers, Izzy
