Name: The Humours of Glendart Type: Jig Key: D Major Level: Beginner/Intermediate Music: https://thesession.org/tunes/45 The second setting on The Session is closest to the version being taught here, but note that for some reason the A part is inadvertently listed twice on that site. Tabs: click here A couple of years ago I started a Spotify playlist called "Tunes to Learn," and this tune was one of the first to be added to the list. It's got an easy, accessible pattern to it, and it's just lovely to play. I hope you enjoy it, too. I like this version by John Whelan on his album Celtic Roots (Spirit Of Dance). Slowed down for learning

Name: Christy Barry's Type: Jig Key: G major Level: Beginner/Intermediate Music: https://thesession.org/tunes/843 Tabs: click here When I first began searching for tunes to learn, Christy Barry's was one that tickled my ears a lot. The version I heard is played by Kevin Crawford. It's on his 'd' flute album. Let's learn it together! --Dan Kaufman, Arlington, Virginia, USA First, listen to Kevin's version. It's just the first tune on this set: Slowed down for learningNow let's learn it. If you learn best by reading the music ("the dots") you can download the music from thesession.org. The second version at the link is probably closest to the one we'll learn here. That said, as most teachers will tell you, you'll pick up tunes a lot faster over time if you learn to play Irish music by ear. So I encourage you to give this a try.
