Kesh Jig / Swaggering Jig on Tenor Guitar

An old favorite Bothy Band arrangement. 3-fret capo on the 5th to get a nice G drone

Thanks for watching. My CDs can be found here:

Nice stuff Dan. You don't have tabs for your version of gusty's frolics do you? It's a cracker!

[DanBeimborn]

That setting came from _The Northern Fiddler_, which is fairly hard to find a copy of. I can't remember which player it came from, most likely Johnny Doherty

[Celticwithakick]

how much did your guitar cost? and how was it tuned?

[DanBeimborn]

This is a gdae (like an octave mandolin) tuned tenor. The prices are all over the map, they can be found from the 30s and modern days too

[DanBeimborn]

It's from an english builder named Patrick Arbuthnot. He calls them "chanticleer"

[JewishRage]

What's your tuning?

[DanBeimborn]

it's a GDAE tenor guitar, but with a capo on the 5th fret that covers only the top 3 strings. so it's (G)GDA, effectively

[jarmbru]

Manufacturer and model? How's the volume on it for sessions of say 10 people? By the way, what a great job you do on the Kesh!
