Here is a tune I have played since a child on the recorder, and now other instruments. Here it is for Irish tuned Tenor/Plectrum. The stretch for some on the plectrum may be bothersome. Reference recording for the tab posted--<a href='/tab/browse.asp?m=bymember&v=48965'>view my tabs here</a>.

Star of County Down (Reel) Plectrum Irish Tuning

albert52 — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 15:41:00 CST

Here is my second attempt at this tune in 4/4 without background music. The banjo I am using is a Washburn B-16 5 string bluegrass I have now set up as a plectrum (22 frets) in Irish tuning. the other recording was on the KAY string converted to Irish tenor, but the recording was really bad, to the point someone thought it to be a midi. so here is a quick play to replace it. You will also find it in:

Garech's Wedding (Irish Tenor GDae)

Paul Moloney / Arr by me-A.J. Wrigglesworth — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:42:00 CST

Here is a tune I picked up in the 1970's. I first heard it by the Chieftains. The song is written by some one named Paddy Moloney, supposedly for a friend's wedding, who's name is Garech. My playing may be a bit off here on the sound file (also on guitar), my apologies. The transcript is from me playing a phrase and then notating it down on paper and then setting it up in Guitar Pro 6. Hope you enjoy it; AJ Reference recording for the tab posted--<a href='/tab/browse.asp?m=bymember&v=48965'>view my tabs here</a>.

Blind Mary (D) in GDae tuning.

Turlogh O'Carolan — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:38:00 CST

This tune is quite a tune, originally written in 2/4. I transcribed into 4/4 so my friends can follow along. They have a hard time playing 2/4 slowly. This sound file is an old 6 string guitar converted to a Tenor GDae. I will be putting up the Tenor Banjo version in a couple of days. Hope you enjoy AJ Reference recording for the tab posted--<a href='/tab/browse.asp?m=bymember&v=48965'>view my tabs here</a>.

Star of County Down (Bm) Tuning is GDae

Irish Traditional — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 20:28:00 CST

Here is a tune that has stuck with me for over ten years now, and is a staple for me when I play at Old folks homes and such. On the fiddle I treat it as a ballad style, and on the Tenor Banjo more of a dance tune. I have heard many Irish bands play this tune at "sub-light speed", and then again have heard fiddlers play it quite slowly and sweetly. Hope you enjoy AJ Reference recording for the tab posted--<a href='/tab/browse.asp?m=bymember&v=48965'>view my tabs here</a>.

Hector The Hero (D) Tuning is GDae

James Scot Skinner/ arr. by A.J. Wrigglesworth — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 20:21:00 CST

This is a tune I had "fallen in love" with a few years back, and generally play it on the fiddle. As I play Irish Tenor Banjo as well I thought I would give it a try on this instrument. With Audacity one can be a 1 person band. I am playing both parts. I need to get a better grip (strength) on my upper position chords, but it's working. It's been a few years since I put away this instrument, and now back at it. Reference recording for the tab posted--<a href='/tab/browse.asp?m=bymember&v=48965'>view my tabs here</a>. Hope you enjoy.

I originally heard this sung by the great Peggy Lee. I know this is pretty rough, it's the first song I've been "comfortable" enough with my banjo to record. (This is my first string instrument, keep in mind.) I hope to add some better improv as I continue learning.
