    Irish Washerwoman is a famous traditional tune in the Folk Genre. Visit any Irish Pub around the world and you are likely to hear this tune during the evening. This book will guide you through the process of playing and understanding this great piece of music on the guitar. Like any well constructed piece of music, it is open to many interpretations, so feel free to adapt it for any ensemble or style you choose to play in. I recommend you learn at least two other Irish Folk Tunes and play them as a medley. Look at my ebooks for a selection of these great tunes arranged for guitar. There are many great examples of the piece on YouTube. Go to www.youtube.com and do a search for: Andre Rieu, The Dubliners, The Irish Drovers or The Chieftains.

    This book is the final in my first series of Irish Folk tunes for guitarists. If you learn to play these six tunes and understand the technique and theory, you will have gained some great repertoire and fantastic foundation skills. The moves and patterns in these tunes pop up everywhere in music, from Bach to Rock. Cork Hornpipe, also known as Harvest Home, is a lively dance and one of the most often recorded of the traditional Irish folk tunes.

Firstly you will add a great piece to your repertoire, which can be played in practically any style you like.
