This is an arrangement of a popular, modern Irish jig written by Eimer Mayock from Co Mayo. Tuning is CGCGCD. We are using the capo at the second fret to be in the key of D.
The first part of the melody hinges on a recurring C# which, against the D gives us a Dmaj7 chord... very easy to do in this tuning. The B part modulates to the key of A and with the little finger holding a G on the 4th string we can have the melody against an A7 chord. The trickiest part of the arrangement is playing the melody cleanly while keeping the bass line moving. Take it slowly and build up the speed.
