Whistle

Hi all,

I know another request for some help, I came across another fab little tune played by Brian Finnegan, its not trad as far as I can tell, but its a well catchy little tune will loads of swing.

usual request anybody fancy doing a real music notation or abc conversion, I know MTguru
always come to my rescue, so big thanks in advance if anyone has the time, quite a bit of vibrato on this one, all I am after is a basic interpretation, I can then work on it with the aid of the youtube clip.

cheers Guys and gals :smiley:

Wow, Brian is the MAN! What a neat, simple tune.
Everyone who feels they sound bad on a Feadog,
please note that even Brian Finnegan occasionally
loses control over a Feadog. They’re challenging!

EDIT: I think I got it from watching the fingers,
let me go downstairs and get my whistle out of
my car to confirm and I’ll post it.

I loved that tune. It is a good clip showing how Brian teaches a tune with exaggerated fingering. The youtube poster has put up some other tunes like this by Brian so don’t forget to check them out as well.
