Being relatively new to playing instrumental Celtic music, I keep coming across these musical monikers that I can't seem to find a definition for. Pardon my ignorance, but what do these terms mean? And what is the difference between them? For that matter, what is a "slip jig" or a "strathspey"? After plunking out the tunes on the piano and working them out on tinwhistle, I still can't discern what makes each type unique. Help?
Thanks in advance.


Peace......
