Here's a little tune I wrote (hopefully not channeling any other tune - I've listened to it back so many times I can't tell).

 

So here it is....

 

X:2

T:Speed t' Knitting

C:LDT

N:Inspired by a challenge set by TSMB

N:Composed on C/G Tedrow Anglo Concertina

N:Thanks to Steve for transcription of my playing

M:6/8

K:G

P:A

HD [| "G"G2A BGB | "D"B2A B2 c | "C"c2B "G"ABA | G2 F G2 E |

G2A BGB | B2A B2 c | "C"c2B ABA | "G"G2 F "D"D3 :|]

P:B

"G"G2A B2A | G2B "C"GFE | "G"G2A B2A | "D"G2B "C"FED |

"G"G2A B2A | G2B "C"GAB | "G"G2A B2A | "G"G2B "D"HD3 :|]

 

comments welcome

 

p.s. I have no idea with the chords....they are just a guess-timate.

Won't even contemplate commenting on the tune itself until I get home and run it through the Wheatstone - but I can see that you've got a transcription error in the final bar, a rogue H has crept in.

 

"G"G2B "D"HD3 :|]

That's assuming you're not writing some specialist variant of abc that allows H to stand for Bb, thus enabling you to do the old 'Variations on BACH' thing ...

It's not a transcription error. 'H' is ABC coding for a fermata or pause.

Can anybody please play this tune? I learn everything by ear, and I feel curious about this tune. I don't mind if the recording has mistakes, if this is the case, a few rounds to the tune will be enough to understand it. Or maybe someone can play it with another instrument that allows to play the melody line in an easier way. Or maybe someone can whistle it!

Ta! I wondered what it was called.

Looked like Dalek head looking straight on to me. ;)

Well you've both taught me something there. Cheers!

Another word for it is "hold", as in "
hold
onto this note a little longer than normal".

I suspect that's where the H comes from.

Thanks for this tune, I like jigs, and this style is the one I usually play. Never mind the mistakes, I always do them, and If I'm recording or there is someone listening I do even more, I wouldn't make a good professional player! But enjoy the playing... that's my speciality! :lol:
