Tablature: Anach Cuain / A Dorian Linked by Tom Hanway 13 years ago: A bare bones arrangement of the famous Irish air and lament. Compare with the highly ornamented version of 'Anach Cuain'.
	Vintage Banjo CD/Mary Z. Cox Linked by maryzcox 13 years ago
Tablature: Blackberry Blossom Jig Linked by Tom Hanway 13 years ago: I thought it would be fun to come up with a jiggy 6/8 arrangement for Blackberry Blossom, the well-known fiddle tune. This has some interesting ornamentation in the B part, as well. Enjoy!
MP3: (untitled) Linked by androo 13 years ago: Taken from Chris Grotewohl's Celtic 5 String book. Better description in my music section.
MP3: (untitled) Linked by androo 13 years ago: Ploughing my way through The Broken Pledge and Julia Delaney. These go together nicely.
Tablature: Garryowen Linked by Tom Hanway 13 years ago: This is in “Celtic E Modal” tuning, which I stumbled across many years ago. I use this tuning (and related “Dogface” tuning) to experiment with "complex tonality" and different modalities.
MP3: (untitled) Linked by androo 13 years ago: The Collier's Reel/Monaghan Twig/The Ladies Pantelletes. A little Irish tunage in honour of St. Patrick.
MP3: (untitled) Linked by androo 13 years ago: Here are The Scholar and The Silver Spire. I am making some progress in this style of music but it still needs some work.
