Londonderry Air is a traditional Irish melody, that in 1913 English lawyer Frederic Weatherly, set the lyrics to his song Danny Boy. It is a beautiful melody, and in this arrangement on the banjo we’re in the key of G (standard tuning) and is well suited to the intermediate picker. Featuring the chord melody, melodic and single-string techniques, there are some challenges in performing this arrangement, but we’ll break it down together in the lesson.
