Sounds Irish Melody (Tab)
A guest tab from Sam Muir today. It’s her simple but effective arrangement of a tune from The Guitarist’s Way by Peter Nuttall and John Whitworth.
The tune works well as a solo piece but it’s a perfect piece for ukulele groups as it has parts for all abilities: simple chords for beginners, a picking part (below) for those starting on fingerpicking and the melody (above) for the show-offs.
Backing Tab/Chords
The picking part is just the chords played arpeggio (i.e. one note at a time). Played against the melody part it sounds far more intricate than the simplicity of the two parts suggests.
Baritone Version

Baritone Backing
And here is a baritone version of both parts for the bariukers in the group. It’s in the same key as the standard tuning tab so they can be played together.

Al, this is a perfect arrangement for a ukulele group that’s getting interested in expanding its repertoire beyond “just” strumming and more into arrangements. Thanks very much for giving us this one to start working on. Hope you can find some more for us.
