In this Traditional Celtic mandolin lesson we’ll take a look at a great jig, The Blarney Pilgrim. The tune is in the key of G Major, has 3 parts and would suit the intermediate student.
The left hand positions are relatively straight forward, but the right hand has some difficult rhythms to contend with. As part of the full lesson we’ll break down the techniques required to fluently play the tune.
