You answered your own question. trying to play a traditional’ chord on a different tuning is bound to sound strange becuase you are playiing different notes when fingering the same chords. DADGAD has its own chord voicing and so you would have to learn where to put your fingers to play the coresponing chord, which in dadgad is much easier with the basic chords. you could play a D , G and A with just 2 fingers ,which allows you to have some free to to add some notes. the other thing about DADGAD is it gives you ‘that’ sound, the one your looking for I guess , and black and tans sounds great on it too!! DO a search of the internet and you will come up with several dadgad chord charts with the basics.WHen you get more confident and more hungry to learn more you will find DADGAD books that go into more detail. Slan mo chara!

I saw your auld post when I was lookin mfor the chords to the song my self, so I thought why not try and figure them out! And of course I did, but not all. I downloaded a shitty version of the song and the whole negative vibes chorus is fooked up, so I could only get the first bit, but here it is.
C, (not sure of the name of the next one. Just move the note c down to a b on the fifth string and take off the finger below it), am, g, f.
For the bridge it’s just : c, f, g, am, em.
Thats all I know, but if i get any more i’ll be sure to tell. toodles.
Its not too hard, great tune tho.without tab its kinda hard to explain bt basically its C then move your highest finger of the c chord to the second fret(rather than the third) and leave the next string open (im sure this is some variant of the C chord bt i dnt no the name!) then its an Am diminished (jus Am bt leave the middle string open) then G then F. thats for the intro/chorus,try hammer ons n stuff to jazz it up a bit!.the verse is C,F,G,Am dim,then G again.then the bit where he starts "never goin to let…." is C,that C variant,F, and G. Hope you can understand! i can play a load of his songs so jus let me know.

I’ve played irish tunes on the flute for 20 years, now I’m adding guitar. I’ve got the chords, I’ve found DADGAD, what I need now is the strumming/picking technique for different types of tunes. I know the "down/up/down up/down/up" method for 6/8 jigs. Has anyone got advice on styles for slip jigs, polkas and reels? Any help would be appreciated.
Well personaly I would advise to use down/up/down down/up/down for a jig. To get a nice swing it is important that not all notes have the same length. Something like saying ‘applecake applecake’ It’s easier to get this swing by playing down/up/down down/up/down, a bit more practice though.
For hornpipes, reels, polkas it’s just playing down/up/down/up. Rather fast for polkas.
To get some variation you have to put the accents on different beats, also on upstrokes, but keep the some movement going.
Anyway, if you’ve been playing flute for 20 years, you should know how it should sound.
i was wondering if anyone could help me i have the lyrics but no tabs it was my brothers favorite song and i would love to have them it the version by the wolf tones.
thank you very much.
Likewise if anyone has it. I loved the song as a kid and it’d be good to play it. I only just found the song again after years of searching. Thank God for Kazaa!!!

Well, I can’t guarentee that these are perfect, but they’re the way I play it. 🙂 Skim to the bottom of the words and I have the chords at the bottom. 🙂 Corrections and stuff are welcome.
I am also looking. Will forward if I find one. If you want to hear a great rendition, download the mp3 of the Irish Rovers version from the "Brassed Off" movie soundtrack. Simply inspiring !!
: Have you tried Arbuckle´s Celtic Tunes (www.users.uswest.net/~rainbaby/).
So far I´ve only played "The Maids of Michelstown" myself, but that one sounds pretty good, even when I (being an eternal beginner) play it.
Good luck with your guitarplaying.
I’d like tabs to a lot of Luke Kellys stuff if anyone can help me there. I’d also love green fields of france. If tthere are any good trad sites please let me know.
My aunt has just recently passed away. She was extremely close to multiple churches. At the service last week a cool song was played…and I forgot about it. Then…just today…there was a memorial at the Methodist Church where she sang. The song was done again but by different people. I love it. The way it was sung blew me away. Anyways here is the link. Some versions are in different keys. Others move up a key each verse. Enjoy.
I am having great dificulty with the rytham, backing Irish jigs. I can play in standard and DADGAD tunings. I am a good finger picker but not that good with a plectrum.
Any help would be greatly received.

I screwed that up eh? Yes – in response to your problem with the jig – it’s not easy when you first set to to learn it. I was tought a simple rule to apply. Use the word "Liv-er-pool" to help you get your mind and fingers around it.
Try it using a minor chord to start.
It is a three count that alternates the emphasis (beat)from the up stroke to the down stroke on the first and third stroke.
Here is how it works:
Liv = down er = up pool = down ; Liv = up er = down pool = up….and so on. It is not easy at first but within a few minutes ( hours or days ) it becomes second nature.
The main problem for most people with jigs is that in order to maintain some kind of flow the main beat is alternately a down beat then an up beat.
dud/udu/dud/udu,etc. The effect is, of course that you have a big bass sound on your downbeat but the up stroke is a little weaker due to the fact that you are hitting the higher notes first.
One way round this is to restrict the strings you are playing to the three or four bass strings.
This is quite useful in DADGAD as the other strings will resonate naturally and it will not be the end of your reputation if you inadvertently hit them.
I have a friend who played a bit on the bodran but swore blind he would never get the hang of jigs.
I felt he was suffering more from his fear of trying it than actual lack of technique. I set him off on a slow reel rhythm (dudu/dudu/dudu/dudu,etc)
and when he had established himself comfortably in that I cut in with the jig as a cross rhythm.
All I did really was to emphasise different beats in what he was already doing, his actual playing hadn’t changed, only the accents.
Try concentrating on the first and third beats of the triplet only. If you are still in trouble concentrate on the first beat only. By the way where are you sending this from. Are you Irish?
Ok, this is late, but maybe it will help someone else.
Each bar of the basic jig rhythm (6/8) is counted as "1-2-3 4-5-6", with the accent generally on the 1st and 4th beats. Played as shown, using a plecturm and no stroke omissions, the plectrum strokes are :
DOWN-up-down UP-down-up.
As you can see, played in a loop, this means the first stroke of each of the two triplets -and hence the accenting- is alternatingly DOWN and UP. This is a little tricky at the start (play it slowly until you settle into the rhythm). After a while you will find it entirely natural.
What you should NOT do is to play each initial triplet stroke in the same direction. Do this, and it’s likely your rhythm will -though only very slightly- be sufficiently off to throw even seasoned instrumentalists.
Once you have the basic rhythm, experiment with dropping some of the strokes, with occasionally varying the position of the accents, with slight delays or counter-rythms.
There are a vast range of possibilities open to you with this core dance rhythm, some of them gorgeously explosive. If you’re curious to hear just one of the many possiblities open to you, listen to Solas’s eccentric and original version of the song "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" (on "Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers").
Built on (DADGAD guitar crack) John Doyle’s complex rhythmic foundation, the song takes on a decidedly choppy, almost east European flavour (I took it for a 7/8ths rhythm during the first hearing).
Would like chords of this great song about my hometown.

Intro like verse
Verse:
Bb Eb Bb Eb
By the shores of the Swilly, two children at play
Bb/D Cm Bb/D Eb F
The king of the castle, the queen of the may
Bb Eb Bb Eb
Just me and my sister, in a world of pretend

Where the sun would keep shining, the day never end
Chorus:

And if I was a flier who crashed now and then,
Bb Eb Bb/F Fsus4 F
she would put me together and fly me again.

My father plays it in the Irish Band he’s in, "The Fly’n Colum" (for info on the band, contact [email protected]), and the chords he uses for rythm are G and Am, but he capo’s at the 5th for flavor.
The intro is something like this. (start with the Am shape)
D|—-2-0——————-
A|——–3-2-0————-
E|————–3-0-(3?)—-
Hope that helps,

I’ve played irish tunes on the flute for 20 years, now I’m adding guitar. I’ve got the chords, I’ve found DADGAD, what I need now is the strumming/picking technique for different types of tunes. I know the "down/up/down up/down/up" method for 6/8 jigs. Has anyone got advice on styles for slip jigs, polkas and reels? Any help would be appreciated.
Well personaly I would advise to use down/up/down down/up/down for a jig. To get a nice swing it is important that not all notes have the same length. Something like saying ‘applecake applecake’ It’s easier to get this swing by playing down/up/down down/up/down, a bit more practice though.
For hornpipes, reels, polkas it’s just playing down/up/down/up. Rather fast for polkas.
To get some variation you have to put the accents on different beats, also on upstrokes, but keep the some movement going.
Anyway, if you’ve been playing flute for 20 years, you should know how it should sound.
Hey folks, have a look at the website for my new book, Accompanying Irish Music on Guitar, the address is irishguitar.net.
Hope it sheds some light.

Did you ever end up finding the chord charts? I would really love to find a copy. My father put this on one of his albums when he was alive and I would really love to be able to perform this song for him in his honour.

: Have you tried Arbuckle´s Celtic Tunes (www.users.uswest.net/~rainbaby/).
So far I´ve only played "The Maids of Michelstown" myself, but that one sounds pretty good, even when I (being an eternal beginner) play it.
Good luck with your guitarplaying.

I would like to have guitar tab and words for the song "the holy ground" from Gerry O’Beirne. I cannot find it anywhere. Many Thanks!!!!!!!
My aunt has just recently passed away. She was extremely close to multiple churches. At the service last week a cool song was played…and I forgot about it. Then…just today…there was a memorial at the Methodist Church where she sang. The song was done again but by different people. I love it. The way it was sung blew me away. Anyways here is the link. Some versions are in different keys. Others move up a key each verse. Enjoy.

I am having great dificulty with the rytham, backing Irish jigs. I can play in standard and DADGAD tunings. I am a good finger picker but not that good with a plectrum.
Any help would be greatly received.

I screwed that up eh? Yes – in response to your problem with the jig – it’s not easy when you first set to to learn it. I was tought a simple rule to apply. Use the word "Liv-er-pool" to help you get your mind and fingers around it.
Try it using a minor chord to start.
It is a three count that alternates the emphasis (beat)from the up stroke to the down stroke on the first and third stroke.
Here is how it works:
Liv = down er = up pool = down ; Liv = up er = down pool = up….and so on. It is not easy at first but within a few minutes ( hours or days ) it becomes second nature.
Happy dancing.

The main problem for most people with jigs is that in order to maintain some kind of flow the main beat is alternately a down beat then an up beat.
dud/udu/dud/udu,etc. The effect is, of course that you have a big bass sound on your downbeat but the up stroke is a little weaker due to the fact that you are hitting the higher notes first.
One way round this is to restrict the strings you are playing to the three or four bass strings.
This is quite useful in DADGAD as the other strings will resonate naturally and it will not be the end of your reputation if you inadvertently hit them.
I have a friend who played a bit on the bodran but swore blind he would never get the hang of jigs.
I felt he was suffering more from his fear of trying it than actual lack of technique. I set him off on a slow reel rhythm (dudu/dudu/dudu/dudu,etc)
and when he had established himself comfortably in that I cut in with the jig as a cross rhythm.
All I did really was to emphasise different beats in what he was already doing, his actual playing hadn’t changed, only the accents.

I am having great dificulty folowing the rytham on jigs.
Try concentrating on the first and third beats of the triplet only. If you are still in trouble concentrate on the first beat only. By the way where are you sending this from. Are you Irish?
Ok, this is late, but maybe it will help someone else.
Each bar of the basic jig rhythm (6/8) is counted as "1-2-3 4-5-6", with the accent generally on the 1st and 4th beats. Played as shown, using a plecturm and no stroke omissions, the plectrum strokes are :
DOWN-up-down UP-down-up.
As you can see, played in a loop, this means the first stroke of each of the two triplets -and hence the accenting- is alternatingly DOWN and UP. This is a little tricky at the start (play it slowly until you settle into the rhythm). After a while you will find it entirely natural.
What you should NOT do is to play each initial triplet stroke in the same direction. Do this, and it’s likely your rhythm will -though only very slightly- be sufficiently off to throw even seasoned instrumentalists.
Once you have the basic rhythm, experiment with dropping some of the strokes, with occasionally varying the position of the accents, with slight delays or counter-rythms.
There are a vast range of possibilities open to you with this core dance rhythm, some of them gorgeously explosive. If you’re curious to hear just one of the many possiblities open to you, listen to Solas’s eccentric and original version of the song "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" (on "Sunny Spells and Scattered Showers").
Built on (DADGAD guitar crack) John Doyle’s complex rhythmic foundation, the song takes on a decidedly choppy, almost east European flavour (I took it for a 7/8ths rhythm during the first hearing).
Hope this clarifies things a little..

Douglas Hope (Switzerland).
