So this jig, the Out on the Ocean, is a little unusual in that it follows the same format as many tunes,
that is two A parts and two B parts, _ but in this case the two B parts are not the same.
There's a slight variation _ and it's normal to play this tune with _ one B part played a certain way
and then the second B part is played a different way.
So I'll _ talk you through this somewhat basic version of the tune,
but I'll include the variation for the B part,
because it's such a standard way of playing it that I would consider it a basic version.
So we start with a big long B at the beginning, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
so that would be the first [G] phrase,
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] and then _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _
it starts again.
_ So Out on the Ocean starts with _ a B, a dotted B.
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
So again we have options, we can divide that up into a long note and a [Bm] short note,
_ _ _ _ we can put the roll on the first long note,
_ _ _ or we can keep it as the dotted note and put the roll closer towards the end. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [F#m] _ [Bm] Both versions have rolls, but one is on the beat and one is a little bit behind the beat.
On the beat says_ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _
