Thanks for taking the time to comment. Keep trying - get the tuning right (this is actually played in a kind of Open G tuning - CGDGBD from thick to thin). I can send you the tab if you want.

Lovely playing of this great O'Carolan tune. Like the fluid "roll-on" embelishments. very much. Thanks for posting.

I think Dave Evans' version is in the same tuning and is very similar - this actually comes from Keith Hinchliffe with a bit of variation from me.

If i ain't mistaking , i am almost shure that this arrangement is by Dave Evans.

@12D1228 I do not / cannot play it in Open C. Keith's is really the definitive arrangement. Try his site for the tab - or let me know if you have difficulties. I assume you have TablEdit to run the tab?

@mlydiat Thanks - I asked because after working on it for a few days I'm wondering if the cgcgce arrangement - where there's lots of notes one after the other on the same string - lends itself more to a slightly slower thumb and one finger celtic hammer on/pull off doodle kind of thing while the cgdgbd arrangement might be easier for the quick fingerstyle 'roll' that you're doing here.

Sorry, I don't know the proper terms 'doodle, roll'. Hope you know what I mean.

Any video playing it cgcgce ?

@12D1228 Well spotted - you are absolutely correct. The issue is/was copyright. The arrangement here I learned from Keith Hinchliffe but he was not happy for me to include it on my web site so I did another in Open C. I think Keith now has the version here freely available on his own web site.
