This is a gentle jig with a rolling rhythm.

This tune sounds nice when it isn't played too fast. Playing a faster tune after it can sound good. You could even put it before a reel.

Try sliding up to the opening B note. You could also try rolling it. The G at the start of the second part also sounds nice as a slide or a roll.
