Nigel, thanks for that on The Old Tune. I can see how it can be played as a strathspey. I must have seen it somewhere with the name , The Old Tune' or maybe 'Auld Tune'. Wonder where that was?

Hi Folks
Here are the resources I've posted this month. Hope you enjoy them. Remember, they're not too difficicult and work best in small groups or at least duets.

Lovely stuff.

Sorry about the links not working, but I've now tried the 'play' links on a PC, an Android phone and an iPad and they all seem to be working - except that you might have to 'refresh' the page before...

Thanks John. Hope you're enjoying these tunes as much as I am.

Hi Folks
Here are some new resources I've posted for February. There are various audio files to help you learn the tunes and tablature and notation too. I think the main benefit here is having an...

Hi folks

I've posted some new tunes this month on my Tune of the Week page. As well as helping intermediate level players learn some great tunes you could look at these as kits for small groups...

Hi all

Hope you had a good Christmas. The daylight hours are increasing by a couple of minutes with each new day here in Scotland. I'm really looking forward to getting a bunch of mandoleers...

Gurgling the Churn is a great name. I notice that there are loads of names for it on thesession.org, and a few 'churn'.

Fig For A Kiss, Figs For A Kiss, Gáire Na MBán, Glugar An Mheadair, Milk...

Hi all,

I've posted a series of tutorials for this tune. You can just learn the basics of the plectrum style or try to play triplets and Irish style ornamentation.

If you have a go I'd love...

Might be an iOS problem. The files seem to open on some devices. Refresh the pages if you're on a normal browser - might be best to use google's Chrome. Odd that you can't open anything in the...

Ah, I see. I posted it to a rockabilly section.
John

Thanks John. Hope the stuff proves useful.

Hi Mike
Not sure why that is. I just tried it on someone else's iPad and I could open the PDFs but audio wouldn't play. Refreshing the page sometimes works. I'm not so up on the tech, thus I use...

Hi Jim
It is actually a google hosted site and I've directed the URL to the site. I can't seem to get google or my domain company to help me make use of the domain, which should simply disguise the...

Hi
Lots of free stuff on my site - and no, moderators, nothing for sale although I do a wee bit of teaching in the Edinburgh area. Hope that's not breaking the rules. I'll be doing some work on...

Wow! What a resource. Can't wait to get stuck into these. Do you mind if I post any versions I manage to assemble? It might be interesting to hear how we are all using the materials. Would...
