Thanks for the post.

In A

As a flute player, this sits much better in A than E; the pitch breaks much more nicely on those wide ranging triplets///

Great performance of this on the Dervish DVD: Live at Johnny Fox's

Guitar chords anyone?

Would anyone happen to have the guitar chords for this tune (in E as listed here)? If so - please send them to me :-)

Cheers!

Remember, this is Edorian not Emajor. Use your Eminor chords and go from there.

What are the markings in the sheet music that look like rests but seem to be "extra"?
I get the rests being at the beginning of most of the measures- for the syncopation, but there are extra markings in some measures that would require more time than the measure has in it?

They look like grace notes Murph.

That is, they look like grace notes to me, Murph.:-) Reviewing the abc file often will clarify problems encountered when reading the sheetmusic unless the file has been edited after the sheetmusic has been posted. In those cases the sheetmusic usually won't reflect the editing.
