I cannot recommend Robin Jones' workshops highly enough. Over the past few months, he has created some fantastic workshops on mostly well-known tunes. His latest workshop covers the jig ‘The Cliffs of Moher’. He teaches the melody step by step and shows various embellishment options. But I particularly like the intro. This is also well explained. Similar intros can now be worked out with slight changes and used for other tunes. Take a look at the video. The second part is available to purchase on his website. You might also consider becoming a member, which would give you access to all the workshops produced so far.
Oh, and he has recently started offering tabs for each workshop. This means you can practise at any time without having to watch the video.
Recently Daoiri gave a live concert on Facebook. One of the songs he played that evening was Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore. I tried to tab the Intro and first verse of his arrangement. Capo 1st fret.
Here's the video:
This is what the tab looks like. If you like the whole tab as pdf or .tef-file just write me an email.
{t:Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore}
{st:Daoiri Farrell}
From [D]Derry quay we sailed a[G]way [D] on the [C]twenty-[G/B]third of [D]May
We were [G]taken on [Am]board by a [D]pleasant crew,
bound [Am]for A[G]meri[C]kay
Fresh [G]water [Am]there we did [D]take on,
five [C]thou[G]sa[D]nd [G]gal[D]lons or [C]more
In [D]case we’d run short going to New [G]York
[D]far a[C]way from the [G]shamrock [D]shore.
So fare thee well sweet Liza dear and likewise to Derry town, And twice farewell to me comrade boys who dwell on that sainted ground If fortune it ever should favour me or I to have money in store I’ll come back and I’ll wed the wee lassie I left on Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore
Well we sailed three days and we were all seasick, not a man on board was free We were all confined unto our bunks with no one to pity poor me No father dear nor mother kind to hold up me head when t’was sore, Which made me think more on the lassie I left on Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore
Well we safely reached the other side in three and twenty days We were taken as passengers by a man and led round in six different ways, We each of us drank a parting glass in case we might never meet more, And we drank a health to Old Ireland and Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore
Here's a longer versi0n Daoiri sometimes sings:
{t:Paddy’s Green Shamrock Shore}
{st:Daoiri Farrell}
From [D]Derry quay we sailed a[G]way [D]on the [C]twenty-[G/B]third of [D]May
We were [G]taken on [Am]board by a [D]pleasant crew, bound [Am]for A[G]meri[C]kay
Fresh [G]water [Am]there we did [D]take on, five [C]thou[G]sa[D]nd [G]gal[D]lons or [C]more
Alan Reid posted a video of his backing of the tune Banish Misfortune on the bouzouki group on Facebook. I tried to tab the first round through the tune.
If you want the whole tab in pdf form just write an email and comment.
Here's the link to the video, but I think you need to have a facebook account and you have to be member of the bouzouki group to be able to watch the video.
