Summary of This Book
Fingerpicking Irish Songs gathers 15 Irish Favorites arranged for solo guitar in both standard notation and tab. Designed for intermediate guitarists, this collection focuses on clear and musical fingerpicking playing: a bass that supports the rhythm, a singing melody, and accompaniments that give the impression of a complete arrangement on a single guitar.
Thanks to the combined presence of the staff and tablature, you can choose your reading method (or combine both) to work on position accuracy, clean attacks, and rhythmic flow continuity. It is an excellent resource to develop right-hand ease, stabilize thumb-finger alternations, and improve the sound balance between bass and treble while playing essential themes from the Irish tradition.
Songlist: Dicey Reilly, Down By The Salley Gardens, I'll Tell Me Ma, Londonderry Air, Molly Malone (Cockles & Mussels), Star Of County Down, Sweet Rosie O'Grady, The Foggy Dew, The Galway Piper, The Gypsy Rover, The Wearing Of The Green, Water Is Wide, When Irish Eyes Are Smiling, Whiskey In The Jar, Wild Rover.
