_ [D] _ _ Morrison's [Ab] Jig is a very popular tune that you'll hear a lot in sessions _ _ and _ we were
asked by a few people to include [N] this tune in the lesson series.
So [E] _ here we go, it starts
on an E _ _ and then the next notes are B A B.
_ _ _ [D] So your first finger has to _ roll over or slide
over [Ab] to the second string from the third string or you can _ _ hold the two strings down with
the first finger from [Eb] the beginning.
_ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ And then the next phrase.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [N] So the first finger is in play
quite a lot that's why it's nice to be able to find a comfortable position where you can get
board strings. _
So Morrison's Jig starts with that long E [Em] _
_ _ [N] and _ sometimes _ _ I _ _ take away the dot,
_ _ it's a dotted E at the moment, but if I take away the dot _ _ _ means there's an extra note to
be to substitute for the dot so it becomes a B.
I usually put in a [E] B.
_ _ So instead of playing
[B] _ [Em] _ I play. _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] Now _ sometimes I _ don't change the bow, [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
I just bow through [E] that.
_ _ So we have _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ and sometimes
I bow it the same way but I establish the rhythm in a bit more of a defined way by playing _ _ _ the _ _ _ _ _ _ _
in the beat is quite crisp and clear. _ _
_ _ [B] _ If [Em] I leave the grace note out [Bm] it _ sounds kind of vague which
is a nice effect. _ _ _ _ _
