Fernando Barroso - Accompanying in 4/4 - Tam Lin/The Glasgow Reel
In this video Fernando shows several possibilities to accompany the Reel Tam Lin. It's all about the right hand. Very interesting video! He starts with accents in different places and moves on to things like dampening and arpeggio.

Matt and Shannon Heaton - The Maid behind the Bar - Tab
On January 21st Virtual Guided Session Matt and Shannon played the Set "Maid behind The Bar" and "Sally Gardens". The Set starts approx. at 46:35.
Today I made a little tab for the bouzouki accompanyment. I did not try to tab all the high notes correctly, but concentrated on the bass notes. If you listen to what Matt plays you'll get it, I think.If you want the whole tab just write me an email and comment here. (Melody is in the second line!)

Jimmy Noonan - The Maple Leaf Session - Courting Them All - Tab
Today I listened to the beautiful Album by Jimmy Noonan, Michael Shorrock, Chris Mc Grath & Ted Davis called Maple Leaf. On it there is a Reel Set called Courting Them All, which took my attention because I loved the melody of the first tune and also the bouzouki accompaniment of Michael Shorrock.
When trying to tab it I found out, that it is not too difficult, but effective. Of course, there are some difficult parts in it, you'll find out. I definitely did not catch all of the finesses, but this is what I found out.
You can listen to the tune here:
If you want the whole tab in pdf form just write an email and comment.
If you would like the tabledit file, so you can listen to it and edit it please write a comment or a mail.
This is how it looks like, First line = melody taken from https://thesession.org/tunes/4058, second line = Bouzouki accompaniment:
