Si Bheag Si Mhor - Keith Chappell arrangement
Hi all
I have been trying to find this tab for a while now after deciding to learn this arrangement - but it seems almost impossible! I know that there are several AGF’ers that have learnt and played it and that Keith used to have a link to it on his video (which has now gone) I would really appreciate it if anybody had a copy they would be willing to share. Thanks Peter

Should not be too hard to learn it by ear. FWIW lots of nice versions of it out there that I like better and tabs of some of those are available.

A suggestion
Since I am hard at work on this piece of music, let me offer a suggestion....
I have listened to various arrangements of Si Bheag Si Mhor for decades and have played several. Not until I encountered William Coulter's arrangement did the piece completely overwhelm me with emotion and reverence(?). His arrangement consists of seven variations of the tune, each building on the other and is pure sonic joy at it's most extreme. He has published the tab in his book, Celtic Crossing published by Mel Bay. Find Bill playing it on YouTube. I have dedicated all of 2018 for this song and one other Coulter arrangement, Citi na gCumman, both in DADGAD. 'Citi' is memorized. Am working on 'Si Bheag'. What a pleasure it is to sit and play these two pieces over and over. They never wear thin. Steve

+1. A good tune to try your own arrangement, as well. Works well in DADGAD and Dropped D

I just double checked the music; yep, seven variations, building on one another, with a nice ending. Subtle differences in a couple.

Just had a listen to William Coulter’s version - it’s a cracker and I have found the book on Amazon. It sounds like quite a handful but I reckon I am up for it.. ;-) Thanks again Steve.

When you are ready for a real Coulter challenge, go to YouTube and search William Coulter. Look for one where he is playing guitar in a TED talk. The tune is called An Daingean, a Coulter composition. I'm setting aside 2019 for that one. It's an amazing piece.

Steve, is there a decent YT video of the Coulter version to help learn it? (I looked at a few but none great) nice to have your years planned out ;-)
