Down By The Sally Gardens - Eoin O'Neill Backing

Last October I took part in an online workshop with Eoin O'Neill. 9 video lessons, each around 20-30 minutes long he produced for the O'Flaherty retreat 2020. What an inspiration. Since then I play bouzouki in ADAD most of the times. It's much fun to back tunes in ADAD. But when singing I still use GDAD.

During that workshop he backed the singer Clara Buteler when singing "Down by the sally gardens". Now I tried to tab the accompaniment of the first verse. So here it is. Unfortunately I can't post the video here.

The Tab is for ADAD, but if you use GDAD it is nearly the same. Only one note is played on the low string, so you just have to play this D-Note on the 7th fret instead of the 5th fret which is notated for ADAD.
