Solas - Boy/Girl Tune

[okinawaisjpa]

いいですね。心に染み入る。

[marlesimms]

GAH! It's so impossibly good.... I love Solas

[onearmfrog]

Has anyone ever figured out the chord sequence?

[ghostofzappa]

you could count the first bar as 10/8 of course but somehow I hear it more as 5/4

[ghostofzappa]

The Time signature is as follows.

up to the 15 second mark ie 16 bars it is 5/4 6/8 6/8 2/4 then from 16 seconds till 31 seconds ie 16 its 6/8 7/8 7/8 6/8.

the song is a combination of these patterns

[tdbsnr]

Nice, now try listening to a tune or two from Julian Sutton, so you know you're up there with the best!

TIME SIGNATURES (BY MEASURE)

First - 10/8 6/8 10/8

Second - 6/8 7/8 7/8 6/8

Second Outro - 6/8 7/8 6/8 7/8

Third - 6/8 7/8 6/8 7/8

Fourth - 6/8 7/8 6/8 7/8

I was having celtic music withdrawl sydrome. Ran into this tune and it's all I played all day. A little Celtic, a little Samba, a little salsa. :)

[PlatinumRoss]

I love this piece. Learned it by downloading the Amazing Slowdowner. Kept the pitch, even when slowed way down.

[UberDeathTurtle]

Ahh, it is nice to hear them back when they were good. They just changed way too much for me to enjoy anymore.

[vinchichon]

magnifique  !!!!

[pianoman9876]

Watch in high quality? Sure...I don't want to miss any detail in that high quality still.

[simajirou1977]

素晴らしい　かっこいい　センスが良すぎる

[fernandeshilton]

fully agree with you, my friend.

[ladynightwatchman]

gorgeous. really fun.

[Raichu234]

I love this tune. It becomes very indian or eastern at one point. Solas are my fave band and I love this tune especially because of it complexity. x

[Hrisdolgr]

i like this song =) very cool

[Vikke1985]

Fantastic! Top one tune! I'd like to play it with my band, but John Doyle's guitar playing in Drop D is sooo haaaaard!:-)

[Hrodelbert]

Hey Vikke! I'd really like to play this song with a few friends of mine as well. Have do you know what to play? Do you have a tab of some sort or are you just a really good listener? I hope you can help me, this song's amazing!

Not sure if there's sheet music available for stuff like this. Best way to learn is get yourself a copy of SlowGold (downloadable off the net). Slows music down to learning speed while maintaining correct pitch - very useful for trad stuff.

[shawnruade]

[mataicheala]

[niteynite]
