Thread Name: 6/8 Hornpipe - is it possible?
Subject: RE: 6/8 Hornpipe - is it possible?
Stanron, thanks for the explaination.

I bought the CD shortly after it was released and, having learned the tune for a Morris side a couple of years previously, I thought I could just sit down and play along. After a WTF moment with the intro, then Sam playing it in Amaj (it's usually in G to accommodate the melodeon players), I sat down to re-learn it. I spent many an hour trying to work out what the hell was going on beneath the jig. Then the whole thing segues into his self-penned "This Shirt Makes Me Look Like a Kite". A truly remarkable track.

I doubt that I would have paid for the patreon lesson even I'd known of its existence.


Mr Red, what was the tune that started this debate?


GUEST, I'd be interested in the Jinky Wells info if you discover it.


Oh, and Sandman . . . . where in the OP does it say this thread is about 'whether it is danceable'?
