Jewish Leprechaun Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I really like the song the Irish Rover, but since the melody is sung what would be the best way to play along with the song? This is the sheet music for the song. http://www.8notes.com/scores/5024.asp?ftype=gif I'm looking for any suggestions or techniques that I might be able to apply to other songs like this too. Thanks, Lep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Lep First find the chords, and then you have three options: play chords, play a second melody which is most of the time a third above or under the main voice. Third option is to invent a counter-melody. I tried a little of all three, although I'm not an Irish expert but I hope you can get some ideas from it. http://www.tangosite.com/concertina/pub/irish-rover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
