In this fingerstyle guitar lesson, we’ll take a look at O’Carolan #174, written by the blind Irish harpist Turlough O’Carolan in the 17th century. The title, devoid of a specific name, reflects the historical convention of cataloging O’Carolan’s vast repertoire by number. #174 captivates with its intricate harmonies and emotive nuances, and this arrangement takes the beautiful melody and develops the harmony and movement for the advancing fingerstyle guitarist. In the lesson, we’ll break down the left-hand positions and rhythmic structure to help you play this wonderful tune.
