Sheebag Sheemore / Si Bheag Si Mhor - Turlough O'Carolan Fingerstyle Guitar

I have been looking for a simple, uncluttered arrangement for Sheebag Sheemore for a while to play on my 12 string guitar. I finally found Nick Kroes' arrangement (Thank You!) on his website in dropped d tuning. Turns out that after all I like it a lot better played on 6 strings, tuned down a half step.
I also found out on my first foray into celtic fingerstyle how much I like that kind of music. Time to get my mitts on some John Renbourn arrangements!
The guitar is a Martin 00-18V and I recorded with a Kodak Zi8.

Mir gefallen die Stücke von dem blinden Harfenisten fat alle sehr gut. Das ist alles so zeitlos und auch für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Gut gemacht, Christian.

@talesandtunes Danke, Michael. Ich gebe dir Recht, die Stuecke von ihm sind zeitlos und werden wohl auch in hundert Jahren noch gespielt.

Really lovely piece, I tried this on the violin years ago....less than stellar....

Check out Pierre Bensusan and some of his Celtic style. although not sparsely beautiful, beautiful still...

great playing !!!!!

@Cj12sings Thanks, CJ. Pierre Bensusan is on my list of favorite guitar players. Intuite is already one of my favorite albums but I still want to check out some of his more traditional celtic arrangements.

Hi Christian,

a good start into this style. There are so many beautiful melodies to discover. The more you get into it, the more you will love it. ... And John Renbourn is a great adress if you look for these songs, just as Pierre Bensusan, Pat Kirtley, Steve Baughman or Franco Morone, to mention a few! Keep on my friend!

Cheers,

Bernd

@BoeckmannLudwig Thank you so much for the encouragement, it's greatly appreciated. I just found a great arrangement for Planxty Irwin in dropped d. I'll give it a try later on this evening. Too much great music, too little time...

Best Regards,

Christian
