A few days ago I posted another version of this lovely jig. Here's the version of Mary Bergin with Alec Finn. I tried my best to tab the acompaniment, but there may be some mistakes in it. So please let me know if you find them ;-)

Some days ago I posted the tab for Martin Wynne's No 3. Now I tried to tab the second tune in this set, The Pinche's Snuff, also called The Pinch of Snuff.
This is my attempt to tab Eoin's accompaniment of The Pinch of Snuff:

This is an excerpt, the melody is underneath the accompaniment. The melody is taken from thesession.org and varies a bit from the melody the fiddle is playing:

I tried to tab the backing for the first verse to study Eoin's playing. Here is my humble attempt. It is for the tuning of ADAD. But as the A-string is rarely used it is also possible for GDAD with the exception of 2 notes in bars 13 and 16, it has to be 2nd fret on G-string which gives the needed A.
Last October I took part in an online workshop with Eoin O'Neill. 9 video lessons, each around 20-30 minutes long he produced for the O'Flaherty retreat 2020. What an inspiration. Since then I play bouzouki in ADAD most of the times. It's much fun to back tunes in ADAD. But when singing I still use GDAD.
During that workshop he backed the singer Clara Buteler when singing "Down by the sally gardens". Now I tried to tab the accompaniment of the first verse. So here it is. Unfortunately I can't post the video here.
The Tab is for ADAD, but if you use GDAD it is nearly the same. Only one note is played on the low string, so you just have to play this D-Note on the 7th fret instead of the 5th fret which is notated for ADAD.
