Irish Washerwoman: Mandolin Lesson

The Irish Washerwoman is a fantastic traditional Irish jig in the key of G. Played at quite a lively tempo, there are some demanding techniques within the tune including the right-hand picking structure to help emphasise the pulse, plus the melody has quite a bit of movement up the neck. This in combination certainly lends the tune to the advancing intermediate picker. In the lesson we’ll break down how to approach the tune and work through the techniques you’ll need to focus on.
