celtic session tune list
If you are new to playing Irish Tradtional Music and want to focus on a few tunes to get started, try learning some of these.
Most folks who come, will be able to play along with you, if you start playing one of these, or you will be able to join in, to some or all of it, if one of them is played by someone else. |
If you need a resource for music and or midi files of the tunes, go to ‘The Session’: http://thesession.org/ (Caution, the person who leads a tune may play it slighty differently to the version you have learnt).
The Celtic Session encourages you to bring your own favorite tunes along as well. |
