Martin Howley - We Banjo 3- Dawnbreak Jig chords
Start Jamming...
Hello, Mandolin Café users.
Martin Howley here, [F] David Howley.
We're from We Banjo 3, the Irish band,
and [Am] we just released a new album, Haven,
[B] and we're going to play you one of the tunes
that's [G] in the set, Dawn Break.
This is the jig, Dawn Break,
and it was inspired partly by a surf
on the west coast of Ireland.
And I'll give a quick [Dm] few rundown of tips
on Irish music after we finish.
[Bm] [D]
[G] [Bm]
[A] [D] [G] [D]
[G] [Bm]
[D] [G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G] [Bm] [D]
[G] [D]
So [Bb] that's a tune called Dawn Breaks.
[E] And we're playing an Irish jig,
is what it's stylized on.
And for the picking pattern,
it's very important that [D] down, up, down.
So that's down, up, down, down, up, down,
down, up, down, down, up, down.
Because the jig [Dm] is in 6-8,
that rhythm of three really carries through.
[Eb] And so even when you cross strings,
[A] it's [B] [D]
[Eb] get down, up, down, down, down, down, down.
[Db] A very important part of Irish music
is triplets and trebles.
The space, the long notes.
So an example [A] would be,
[B] [Gbm]
is the tune and we're adding [B] in.
So that's simply down, up, down,
and reset back to the down, up, down, down, up, down.
So triplet is three notes in the space of two.
[D] [Dm] And then another very Irish thing
is to pull rhythm here and there.
As [G]
[D]
[G] [D] [A]
[G] an example.
And if there's [Dm] interest in it,
we can put together a video
on the tune [E] piece by piece,
and [F] maybe some ABCs and tab and stave.
So let us know in the comment section below
if you'd like to have that.
And check out the album Haven.
Thanks very much for listening.
I play the guitar.
