Just found this video of Donal Lunny and Mary Custy playing two Jigs. Unfortunately they don't remember the name of the first tune. The second one is Bucks of Oranmore. I like the intro Donal plays, so I tried to tab it.
So this is the tab.

Pat Rainey Intro in the style of Daoiri Farrell - Lesson
Brent Matusik posted a new lesson on youtube. This time he shows how to play the intro of Daoiri Farrell's version of Pat Rainey.
It's three years ago I did a tab for the intro. You can find it here on my blog. I also posted chords for the song here.
It might be a good idea to check my older posts as well. You also could have a look at the keywords on the right.
Maybe you could look for Daoiri Farrell, Tabs for GDAD, Workshops or Lessons.
But there are lots of other things you might find interesting like Helpers, Right Hand, Finger Practice or just look for some great musicians like Andy Irvine, Eoin O'Neill, Donal Lunny etc.
And if you're looking for chords like most of the people that visit my blog (is this really so important for you guys?) look here. Chords or here Chord Charts

Counterpoint and bourdons
