Freddy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm currently getting to master the tune The Charlesworth Hornpipe on anglo. This tune I consider one of the hardest and interesting 'new Old English Hornpipes, (for me at least) I play. I was wondering if anyone had any pointers or links to these old type of tunes. Be it Digital files, CDs, Videos or indeed anything that I may listen to... I play by ear, so a software to slow down recordings and\or transpose would also be a fantastic help. Thanks for reading, FREDDY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dunk Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 You can download the hornpipe tune book John of the Green Cheshire Way in abc format. Download the ABC Explorer software (free) and you can play the tunes back at any speed you like ... Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The software is also a gem. Are there any more fans of this style of music that play it on anglo? I don't seem to see much discussion on the theads.

Pete Dunk Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I'll let the anglo players speak for themselves I play quite a lot of hornpipes but more dotted 4/4 tunes than 3/2. You may find a tune or two you like in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may find a tune or two you like in this thread. I like the 3/2 hornpipes too, and their distinctive slippery sound. I recorded a few Northumbrian tune sets back in 2005/06 (when I was playing Anglo), including two 3/2 hornpipes: Jamie Allen / Rusty Gully Lamshaw's Fancy / Lads of Alnwick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
