Galway Girl - Bouzouki version by Johannes Broborn

 Just came across this lovely version of Galway Girl. Well done, Johannes.

 

 

And here's his version of Creggan White Hare:

Alan Murray, Eimear Arkins - Cunla - Tab

For some time now Tune Supply brings us lovely sessions on youtube. Here's a version of the song/tune Cunla by Eimear Arkins (Vocal, Fiddle) and Alan Murray. It starts at approx. 1:20:30. Did I mention that I really enjoy Alan's Bouzouki playing?

Now I tried to tab the first 2 Verses and Refrain of the song. You can download the whole tab here.

If you would like the tabledit file, so you can listen to it and edit it please write a comment or a mail. 

Note-orious App - Find the notes on the fretboard

Note-orious is an app/game which helps you to learn the notes on the fretboard. It cost approx. 2€. You can use it for a lot of stringed instruments, also for GDAD tuning. It's fun playing around with it and it really helps to get to know the fretboard.

It is available for iPhone, iPad, Mac (Catalina and higher). Sorry not for Windows or Android.

Brenda Curtin, Donal Murphy, Kevin Murphy - The Banshee Tab

The Banshee, a well known Reel is the second tune in this set. I like the accompaniment of the bouzouki a lot, so I tried to tab it. You'll find the download link under the video.

The Muskerry Tram - Accompaniment transcribed - Macdara Ó Faoláin

A few days ago I discovered the album by Pádraig Mac Aodhgáin (Paddy Egan) called Tobar Gan Trá which you can buy by pre-order. On it there is a lovely jig-set which starts with the tune "The Muskerry Tram" written by Sean O'Driscoll and released on his CD "The Kitchen Session". 

The accompanyment by Macdara Ó Faoláin is really beautiful, so I tried to transcribe it. There may be lots of mistakes in it, but I think you can (hopefully) find the essence of it.

Here's the tune on bandcamp:

 

Here you can download my tab as pdf. It contains also the melody as tab. Capo on 5th fret.

Eoin O'Neill - The Cliffs of Moher Tab

I really love Eoin's new CD, so I tried to tab his accompaniment of The Cliffs of Moher, a well known Jig. First, here's the link to the recording on bandcamp. Please consider buying the album if you like it.

Here's a picture of my attempt to  tab the arrangement. It is in GDAD, but if you play in ADAD there's no big difference. If you'll find any mistakes (I'm pretty sure you will ;-) please let me know.

SMI Plec Pads

 I always have problems losing my plectrum. I tried several things like cutting a hole in them, gluing cork or sandpaper on them, all worked, but a month ago I came across the SMI PlecPads. I bought a sampler pack of them and was overwhelmed. They really feel good and the plectrum does not slip anymore. There are different shapes available. The ones on the picture are the ones that work best for me, but you have to find out which ones are best for you. 

They've got different thickness, and it seems different stickyness. I like the red and the black ones. The yellow ones feel a bit strange and I think they stick too much imo.

If you are interested here's their website. (I don't get anything from them!)
