Danny Boy
Anyone got a good transcription? I've got a copy of the one Mark Hanson has on his web site, but can't get it to sound too sweet. I know LJ did a great version of it.
Thanks.

Steve Eckels did an arrangement (simple but pretty) in Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine (one of the 1997 or 1998 issues I think....I used to get it then...)....not sure if that back issue is available...could check their website...it's in Drop-D tuning...(99% sure about that...)
if not, you could go to his website (steve Eckels) www.guitarmusicman.com and request it probably.... what's up with the one at Mark Hanson's site?

El McMeen has a nice transcription of Danny Boy that is part of the 'Ramble to Cashel' set that is published by Stephan Grossman's Guitar Workshop.
go to: http://guitarvideos.com/dvd/pdf.htm and get the .pdf for 'Ramble to Cashel'. Danny Boy is near the end. It is in the tuning that Mr. McMeen uses, which is CGDGAD.

I think it would help to *hear* his version to pick up the minutae. I'm doing much better with his Solo Fingerstyle Guitar DVD, where you can play along with him (he's brilliant!) I put it down to a lack of dexterity on my behalf..... but what do I know? |

The Ramble to Cashel CD is an amazing collection. Recommended.

a Little Miss Tree brought me the copy...
it's the Jan/Feb 1998 (vol. no. 25) issue of Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine... it is drop-D... very simple, very pretty...how pretty and musical you can make simple moves sound will largely determine how well you play....when you mean to let a melody note ring...let it ring....when you mean to emphasize a note...emphasize it....when you mean to bring out a moving bass...bring it out...when you mean to let a bass note ring out over moving intervals...let it ring...when you mean to use a particular finger so as to not let a string fall silent from measure to measure...use it.... I don't have the CD...that seems to be off in the abyss... (Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine comes w/CD's)....I'd love to hear him play this...he plays extremely well... lots of intervals of thirds and sixths...and then he does what I've seen him do in other tunes...he contrasts those with intervals of 4th and 5ths..very different.... milk the moves....don't just do the TAB...find the 'moves' in other places of the fretboard and then in other keys.....edit edit edit...and also try to take moves involving open strings into note for note movable moves.....end of edit he does out I-Imaj7-I7-IV and vi-IVmin/3rd in bass- I/5th in bass... milk, milk, milk

Hey Plex - I downloaded the midi files & threw them into Sibelius. For whatever reason, when I bring them in, Sibelius seems to think it was written for pedal steel. Now that would be interesting and all, but I seem to have misplaced my pedal steel. What tuning you in? A PDF might be great.
Thanks.

Chet Atkins did a very intriguing version/arrangment of "Londonderryaire/Danny Boy" in the key of "B." He modulates to C later in the song. But it is a different approach than I have ever heard. Don't know where transcriptions might be available. I saw him do it on a video that I have.
Thanks, |

for the I-Imaj7-I7-IV there's a
D to Dmaj7 to D7 to G 'outlined'.... how many ways can you play that around the neck...? (know thy triads!) the other key move is a vi is Bm IVmin/3rd is Gmin/Bb then D/A basic moves....how many ways can you find them...? put a basic rhythm on them....execute them...and build up your knowledge and skill... don't become a TAB-a-holic...

Both are Standard tuning. Just try listening with Winblows Media Player or other midi player. I like the first one, lots of expression. The second has less "Fingerstyle" and more single note runs. If you can just listen and let me know - If not, I'll PDF them both tonight when I get home. PS - 1st version is in a Tabledit file, second a GuitarPro file, if you have either.
