Notes: This often gets played fast, as a reel, but was intended as a lament. Composed by the Scottish fiddler Niel Gow when, after a poor harvest, no barley was permitted to be used for distilling.

Notes: Session tune. England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland all seem to lay claim to this tune. I've included a setting of the B-part up an octave with lots of places to let chords ring.

Notes: Not my normal genre but this is my version of this great rag. I go up an octave in the middle and back down for the end as the tune goes below bottom D.

Notes: The A part is quite easy, but the B part I found tricky - getting the high 'b' and keeping the pedal going.
I've tried to arrange the B part to make the left-hand fretting as efficient as possible so that it can be played at 'session speed'! I shift (left hand) position on the open strings at the last beat of the 1st bar, after first beat of 2nd bar, last beat of 2nd bar, 2nd beat of third bar (going to a half bar on the 9th fret) etc.

Notes: Not only Tobin's favourite, but one of my favourites too! A classic Irish jig. Note the timing of the tab isn't quite right, I think you need to hear a recording to get the phrasing/timing right.
