Toormore Slide, An Chóisir, The Wedding Feast, The House Party - One tune, many names - Lots of chord possibilities

I always loved the Toormore Slide. Now I tried to collect some chord possibilities and I found a lot of them. Some are obvious, some might sound a bit strange. If you want try them and tell me which are your favourites.






















Here's a version with whistle: Athas


A very slow Fiddle take by Mossie Martin


And a fast one by The Press Gang

20 Slides played on banjo at slow speed (100 BPM) with Metronome

This is what I found today. Ben Hockenberry plays 20 well known Slides on his banjo at 100 BPM with Metronome. This might be very useful for learning accompaniment. Each tune is played 3 times. You can play with it and speed it up to your needs or ability. 

He also offers some more tune types! So have a look at his channel and maybe subscribe.

Matt Heaton - Accompanying Slides

 Just found the time to make a little tab for this tutorial by Matt Heaton. In this series he talks about accompanying slides. He takes the DUDUDU - Jig Rhythm as basis and omits some parts. He ends up with D_DU_U|D_DU_U| etc.


This is how it looks in Tab:

The last bar is a little variation for endings.
