As I Roved Out - Planxty/Irvine (cover)

[killamonkey]

What tuning are you using?

[LiteGauge]

@killamonkey It's in standard tuning -probably capo 2.

[11gokey]

Really nice. It's a truly great song and you do it much justice. Brings a tear every time

I hear Andy Irving sing it, and I'm reaching for my handkerchief right now.

[LiteGauge]

@11gokey Thanks very much :o)

[batterseaspark]

great job ....beautiful song!

[LiteGauge]

@batterseaspark Cheers :o)

[Timothydlol]

this is actually brilliant i came back to it and all well done!

[LiteGauge]

Thanks very much. As an arrangement it pretty much follows the melody with a few embellishments. I think this is one of favourite Planxty songs along with P Stands For Paddy. Powerful stuff!

[Timothydlol]

you should do p stands for paddy too

[Timothydlol]

well done

[LiteGauge]

Thanks very much :)

[drunkenviking]

Very nice.. planxty is such a treassure... Do you play this in standard tuning? Loved it!

[LiteGauge]

Thanks. Yes, it's in standard tuning. It's a great song and Andy Irvine's arrangement and voice make it something really special. I wanted to try to capture some of that in my version

[harmonioushand]

could you perhaps put up the chord progression I really want to learn this song! thanks

[LiteGauge]

Check out my new video - 1st June 2009. I think it gives a clearer view of what I'm doing.

[billywhelan1]

where do i get the book Billy

[LiteGauge]

It was published by Mews Music of London in about '76. You'd be extremely lucky to pick up a copy of it now.

"It's a bit daunting attempting anything by Andy Irvine"

[LiteGauge]

Thanks very much, Mick

It's a bit daunting attempting anything by Andy Irvine

[notewortheymus]

very much enjoy your performance. do you know where i may find the guitar tab for this tune?

[LiteGauge]

There was a song book that came out a while back with melody and chords - I think I worked out this arrangement from there.

[lucabez]

I like very much this traditional tune and I find your rendition really beautiful: bravo!...

Cheers,

luca

[LiteGauge]

Thanks very much.

[drunkenviking]

Superb!Brilliant! Normal tuning?

[LiteGauge]

Thanks. It's a very sparse arrangement, but I like it that way. I find it difficult to sing, trying to reach the higher notes ;) Yes, normal tuning.
