Some Tunes to Learn

Walsh's Session Tunes (328kb PDF) is a good source of basic repertoire.

Here are some new sets/tunes to learn/play. Each named tune link will open up a lightbox that floats over this page. Click outside of the image (or use the close button) to close each tune. Use your mouse wheel, or the arrow buttons to switch between tunes within each set. To save a copy of the music for a tune, right or control-click the name link and choose "Save link (or target) as..." Click on the speaker icon adjacent to each named tune link to hear the tune (use your browser's "back" button to return to this page).

Please feel free to submit tunes, preferably in sets, for everyone to learn. See ya at sessions!
