Short Finger-style Arrangement of Jenny Pluck Pears by Allan Alexander
I have always loved Celtic music. Nothing gets that 25% of me that is (Scotch-Irish) going like a nice jig or reel.
Anyways, I just thought I would put this up here as a belated Saint Patrick's day salute...
I still have about four or five bars worth of Alexander's variations on this piece. As Bear would say: I don't own it yet, but I don't think it is too bad a start. Wish the tune wasn't so dad-gum short of a piece...even with the variations. Always trying to get better at finger picking and I think this is a great genre for both finger pickers and flat pickers...just love this stuff... Thanks Cori

This is great Cori, very original video. Great picking giving a very Celtic recognizable song. I was in Temple Bar in Dublin many years ago and most of the pubs play that kind of stuff. This music brings smiles on people.
I hope that it will trigger some lessons in this style.

Great job! It is funny, as I cannot sit an listen to a Celtic album, but when someone is playing it live, like you did, or in an Irish pub or a festival, it is mesmerizing to me. Such emotional music. You did very well with that piece. I agree it is short. Your picking is pretty solid, you have been puting some time I see. I really enjoyed this upload. Thanks!
BTW, you had better keep an eye on Bill, he is bound and determined to get that beautiful guitar of yours......
