Tuning: DADGAD

This is an Irish jig usually known in the Irish language as "Tiocfaidh Tu Abhaile Liom." The English title is a direct translation. I've arranged this in DADGAD. It's a lovely flowing tune and the tuning suits these kinds of flowing melodic lines. As often is the case with DADGAD the melodic "flow" is accentuated by playing across the strings - little thee note groups can be played on three adjacent strings to great effect both in terms of melody and rhythm. I also use a little bit of frailing - an old time banjo technique for the right hand adapted for guitar. Second time through the tune we bring in a moving bass line and keeping the melody, with all its ornamentation, flowing over that line involves a bit of work- but it's worth it.
