Davy Rogers is a Celtic Fingerstyle guitarist, singer, composer, and performer who also teaches banjo mandolin and acoustic guitar. He plays dobro, tenor banjo, Irish bouzouki, mandola, mandolin, fiddle and whistles, and lives in South Co. Galway, Ireland. His website "Davy Rogers' Traditional Irish Guitar TABs and MIDIs" is located at : - http://www.davyrogers.com
On this website you'll find 506 no. assorted traditional tune arrangements (as of 23rd July 2005) in MIDI format (with links to the TablEdit guitar Tablature for each tune). The site is categorised into six seperate archive lists: Jigs, Reels, Hornpipes & Marches, O'Carolan compositions, Davy's own compositions, and Miscellaneous tunes (world music). It's an online archive resource for fingerstyle guitarists interested in learning traditional Irish music, and also for anyone who wants to download FREE Irish MIDIs. The tablature files contain detailed information on the fingerings and ornaments used. Most of the arrangements utilise open guitar tunings, predominantly open G (GDGGBD) and DADGAD, in order to facilitate ease of playing, and for simplicity's sake. Each MIDI file is under 3 minutes playing time.
The website is regularly updated with new material and also contains the latest information on Davy's gigs and performances.
