Re: tabature to irish song's

I STRONGLY discourage you from using tablature essentially for any instrument, but especially for this kind of music..

Use your ears and transcribe and learn the tunes from good recordings instead, and you will get correct transcriptions of the tunes (in contrast to most tabs I've seen out there..). And you will also develop your musical ear while doing it - talk about win-win situation, huh?! ;-)

Although I agree 100% with Mattias on this, you could also seek out session.org member Davy Rogers here;

He has a tabs web-site you may find useful in th meanwhile.

In any case I don't think you are talking about songs....

Des Rynne, I don't play tenor banjo. But I do know there is a website for irish tenor banjo;

I also don't play mandolin. But there is some mandolin tablature at mandolin cafe. If that helps;

How do you know he's not talking about songs. Des might well be wanting to accompany people singing various ballads etc. Why be so presumptive??..

I'd agree with the above. It's not a good habit to get but it's quick. Think of it like chrystal meth.

Mind if I ask why that particular song?

Songs with chords rather than tunes.

Re: tabature to irish song's

Fair enough. Why that particular song?

Meanwhile, it's not like me to complain, but the apostrophe in your title is totally superflous.

Re: tabature to irish song's

It's a fairly intense song. I was a bit surprised to hear someone was singing it for a gig. With a bit of web surfing I'm guessing it may have received some attention when it was performed by Steve Earle & Spider Stacy in the New Orleans HBO series treme (I'm waiting for a download of the episode).
I won't pester you with another question . . . But I was also wondering if it's for a listening or dancing audience. Only because I came across this video;

It doesn't seem as though the audience cares about the story behind the words.

Good luck with the gig Des Rynne.

Probably not all dancing. I don't really think of dancing along with "Clare to Here". But it won't surprise me if I find a punk version on YouTube.

Re: tabature to irish song's

I'm sorry to report that waiting for the download of Treme just to hear a less than inspiring (abridged) version of "Come Out Ye Black and Tan" was hardly worth the wait. The good news is while Spider Stacy & Steve Earle are wasting time on a New Orleans street corner up walks a fellow musician who offers some much needed words of encouragement.
Hopefully this clip of her does not disappoint;

We've our own battles to fight this side of the pond. And while this next bit of music is dated back to the last administration it is somewhat inspiring for the challenge of what lies ahead;

Re: tabature to irish song's

Why is it that songs like "Come Out Ye Black and Tans" are almost always sung by people who have no clue what they are singing about?

Stupid question, really ... :-(

Re: tabature to irish song's

Perhaps I should have added "these days". I also remember "those days".

Re: tabature to irish song's

I get that, eb. I only posted the link at this time because I just now found it. I wasn't even searching for the song specifically.
