dmksails Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Can anyone direct me to a harmony version of The Parting Glass. I'm a beginner on the anglo, and could really use a tab version of this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Hare Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Not quite sure what you mean by 'harmony version' and 'tab version', but here's a simple tabbed version with accompaniment chords. The tabs are more or less self-explanatory, and are for C/G concertina. Parting Glass, The.pdf Edited February 2, 2021 by lachenal74693 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Some other chord suggestions that I use when playing “Star of the County Down,” which is practically the same tune: On the 3rd beat of measures 1, 5 and 13, an F chord. In measures 4 and 12, replace the G chord with E minor. I don’t play Anglo, so if these chords are impractical, I apologize. But I like the way they sound.

It do sound like Star of the County Down don't it... I haven't tried it on the infernal machine, but those extra chords sound OK when played back via EasyABC (on a Windoze machine 😎). Ta.

My pleasure, all part of the service...😎. I should have said that the PDF I sent was based on Lester Bailey's transcription in the 'Melodeon Net Big ABC File'. Also the PDF I posted does not have the modified chords as suggested by David Barnert. Here t'is. Also sans bar numbers which I know some folks find distracting... Edit: ABC code added... Parting Glass, The.pdf PartingGlass.abc Edited February 4, 2021 by lachenal74693 ABC code added - which I should have done in the first place!

And I suppose I could add that my chords came from the recording of “Star of the County Down” on Yankee Ingenuity’s album, “Kitchen Junket” from the 1970s, where the chords are embedded in a 2nd fiddle part by Earl Gaddis.

Roger Hare Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I'm ever-so-slightly piggy-backing on dmksails OP - I apologise in advance! Did anyone find the PDFs/ABC I posted useful? I see there have been a few downloads. I'd really appreciate some feedback, it would help me develop the software I used. I suggest responders use PMs to avoid clogging-up this thread... Thank you.
