Two hornpipes to cast away the chill of winter. Unless you're in Florida or some other warm area of the world. Please excuse the quick transition between the two; the Glenbeigh triplets gave me hell! Also, note that in The Galway HP, I play a C natural. Usually, I hear a C sharp played instead but it's how I learned and like it. As for the sweatshirt? Hey.....you KNOW what is coming next weekend!
Here is a perky melodeon version(followed by the Harvest Home HP):

And here is a clear and stripped-down version of Glenbeigh on octave mando:

Hope to hear one or two of your takes!

Good choices, Wayne, fine work!
All the best ~ Tom

Good Job Wayne. These hornpipes turn out to be rather harder than they look. My approach to the back to back triplets was to miss them out - too much else to think about what with this crazy rhythm - give me a Jig anyday

Good job James and I agree, as hornpipe said go, these are a little demanding.

Nice one James! I've been remiss learning hornpipes lately so I must give these two a go!

The Galway Hornpipe has been on my 'to learn' list for a while, so this has been an excellent excuse! I'm getting there with the Glenbeigh, and will try to make a video before the end of the month. Thanks for the suggestions Wayne, and great playing Wayne and James!

Well that was thoroughly enjoyable Bob!

And at this point, I think it's only appropriate that I refer to my sweatshirt comment in the original post here. Sorry, but we are a nation!

Just curious when doing those run of triplets in the Galway...Do most of you follow Enda's method with DUD DUD or do you do DUD UDU? I like the bounce I get with DUD DUD but it is definitely harder to do fast on runs like these.
BobGooday - Posted - 02/13/2017: 04:05:22
I use DUD UDU almost exclusively for jigs and hornpipe triplets. It makes it a lot easier to play them quickly, and I feel makes them 'flow' better.

What Bob says underlines a reality; there are no hard fast rules.
One thing I would recommend is that when you have a series of back-to-back triplets then I would use DUDUDUDU. For example, the notes at the half mark of the A part that go down from the open E string: E/F/E/D/C#/B etc.

Sorry, I never referenced the tune for the triplet example I used. It was the Galway hornpipe. Same sequence occurs in the Harvest Home hornpipe as well.

A day late, but I got ambitious and added the pick up notes and triplet run a few days ago. However, I failed to get the triplet run smooth enough, especially with the camera on.

Rocksolid picking here! Timing was dead on.

Thanks Bribak and Wayne, put a nice big smile on my face.

Great stuff Bob and Dan!
