Eoin O'Neill - The Cliffs of Moher Tab

I really love Eoin's new CD, so I tried to tab his accompaniment of The Cliffs of Moher, a well known Jig. First, here's the link to the recording on bandcamp. Please consider buying the album if you like it.

Here's a picture of my attempt to  tab the arrangement. It is in GDAD, but if you play in ADAD there's no big difference. If you'll find any mistakes (I'm pretty sure you will ;-) please let me know.

SMI Plec Pads

 I always have problems losing my plectrum. I tried several things like cutting a hole in them, gluing cork or sandpaper on them, all worked, but a month ago I came across the SMI PlecPads. I bought a sampler pack of them and was overwhelmed. They really feel good and the plectrum does not slip anymore. There are different shapes available. The ones on the picture are the ones that work best for me, but you have to find out which ones are best for you. 

They've got different thickness, and it seems different stickyness. I like the red and the black ones. The yellow ones feel a bit strange and I think they stick too much imo.















If you are interested here's their website. (I don't get anything from them!)
