Great tune...I'm working on 'Hewlett' another O'Carolan tune...a bit of a way from uploading yet !

[clumsystrummer]

Hewlett is a another good one (there's a bunch of em'), I'll be looking forward to hearing it

Cool. My research drove me to Plaxty Scott as the title for that No 179. From O'Sullivan page.

You're right acousticaddic, In the back of my head I had Plaxty Steven -always been bad with names.

Hi Clumsystrummer,

You play beautifully, thanks for posting. I've been playing Carolan's 179 as rendered by El McMeen, but I like yours as it makes better use of the open strings - hence more harp-like sustain. Do you have a tab for this one? Thx! Blarney Player

Thanks Kiowa22, I arranged this piece much like the last piece of the "Six anonymous pieces of the renaissance" for classical guitar [with a little bit of Bach minuet thrown in]. I'll post the notation/tab on my website (hillgrovemusic -add the w's and dot com) within the next week or so. I like the El McMeen's version too; I just wish it wasn't in such an odd tuning.

Beautiful playing Jeffrey, Bravo! *****

Thanks so much, CS! Yes, El's CGDGAD is a little odd, but it's not bad if you already happen to be in DADGAD. I'm off to check out your website. Best! Robert
