Irish Songs for Tin Whistle

Irish Songs for tin whistle

In this book you’ll find some of the most beautiful Irish melodies for tin whistle in D. These songs stem from a long and rich musical tradition meaning there are quite a few variants of both lyrics and melodies.
All songs have been arranged for the beginning to intermediate player. To facilitate playing I added tin whistle tablature to the standard notation. This handy form of graphical notation shows you exactly how to play every note–reading music not required.
Chord symbols are added to all songs so you can play them together with others. You’ll find the chord diagrams for guitar where you need them–right next to each song.
In the appendix, there’s a fingering chart for tin whistle as well as the basic guitar chords and a selection of picking and strumming patterns.
