Subject: RE: Accepted chords for traditional tunes
thanks trad singer and will fly.
of course I would not put in the chords I was suggesting,if there was another guitarist playing more conventional chords.
I generally listen and look at another guitarist,before plunging in.
it is another reason why I find smaller sessions enjoyable.

some people assume it is in g major,although G modal doesnt sound too bad .
if Iam playing with someones who is playing it with g major chords ,Iplay it with no double stopping or chords,If Iam playing it on my own or with another melody player,I use more chording.
here it is
