Sheep in the boat - Jig accampaniment by Tom Oakes

 I found this recording on my harddrive. Tom Oakes sent it to members of a flute workshop some time ago. I love his bouzouki accompaniment here. So I tried to tab it.

My tab looks like this, it starts really easy. 

You can download the pdf here.

Robin Jones - Morrison's Jig

 Robin is very busy producing Bouzouki lessons. They are well made and so useful. I love his way of teaching. Cannont recommend it enough. Check it out and buy part 2.

 

Here's the link to his youtube channel where you'll find more fantastic lessons.

 

Here's the tab I made:

The Wren - Breton An Dro

 The Breton tune beautifully played on fiddle and bouzouki.

 Another fine version by Matt and Shannon Heaton can be found here.

 

Matt Heaton - Bouzouki Workshop #3 - Accompanying in Em

 Matt's workshop for this weeks is all about accompanying in Em without capo. He gives some ideas to play in Em which might be useful when accompanying a set of tunes in different keys.

This time no chord diagrams necessary, just watch the video.

The Wren - An Dro - (Em) - Arrangement by Matt & Shannon Heaton (Capo 2)

 Another lovely slow session by Matt and Shannon Heaton. This times two sets with bouzouki. One of them a beautiful An Dro called the Wren. I know it for many years as a song by Tri Yann from France. They called it Kerfank 1870 and it is on their Album "Urba". If you don't know it give it a listen. This is the album where they began to change their style to be more electric.

The melody can be found at thesession:

So here's the video. The Wren starts at  41.15

I made a tab file of the first round through the tune. Here it is:

A Fig For A Kiss - Bouzouki Arrangement By Matt Heaton - E Minor

Matt and Shannon Heaton broadcast a regular slow session during the lockdown. They play mostly well known session tunes. It is always a pleasure to listen to both of them and to play along with them. The sessions are saved on youtube so one can watch thCaem everytime. So if you missed one of the sessions, they are still on youtube. This is the link to Shannon's youtube-channel:

On August, 1st 2020 Matt and Shannon Heaton had another Online Session. As warmup they played this lovely version of A Fig For A Kiss. Tune starts at 2:36
