How about we send your wife ad mine on vacation for a while, so we can practice w/o that pained look on their faces? 
Sounds good 
You know, I love my wife dearly, but yesterday she gave me this strange look while I was playing/singing. I assumed that she didn’t like it. When I asked, she said - “You sound so folky.” I’m just going to take that as a compliment 
Thanks Picardy, I’m a real hack on guitar, but I have a strong interest in fingerstyle and am trying to learn a bit at the moment, so the info you gave was quite helpful I’ll check out that link.
Cheers.

Are you sure about the Red Green style, you didn’t mention using duct tape once!
Oh, I’m sorry. I’m glad you mentioned it! The mic should be strapped to the amp using plenty of duct tape. A microphone propelled away from an amp can be quite painful if it smacks you in the head. Be sure to not use all of the duct tape for this purpose. You will also need some to patch up your blown speakers.
Well, I think I found my answer for some great whistle and guitar stuff. Many people here recommended Flook so I went and got the “Rubai” cd. They may not be duets, but they sound great. I’ve written out some note-for-note transcriptions of the guitar and whistle parts to Pod, Ballybrolly Jigs, Beehive, Glass, and Larry. One thing I like about transcribing whistle parts is that you only have a melody to write. You don’t have to listen for notes within a chord (like on guitar or piano) and wonder if there is some note hiding in the middle of the chord, or wonder if he is playing on the 1st sting 3rd fret, or 2nd string 8th fret or 3rd string 12th fret etc. Whistle (as are most wind instruments) is a very nice instrument to transcibe for. But I’m not saying it is easy to play!
I’m hoping the whistler I play with can tackle these (know I can’t on the whistle!)
Anyway, thanks to all who recommended Flook!

Well, not quite. One earlier suggestion—I forget by whom—is a good compromise. Look for whistle music which has the guitar chords. You’d have to work up a guitar part but this would probably be more rewarding than just playing someone else’s music. But really, any diatonic, or near-diatonic, melodies that you like will serve the purpose, they don’t have to have been specifically arranged with whistle in mind.
For those who, like me, play both whistle and guitar, you don’t have to learn to play with your feet to get full satisfaction. Just buy yourself a good multitracker and off you go.
Hmmm… I’d love to see those, if you’re willing to share them!
Sure, I willing to share. I’m just not sure how to put the transcriptions online. I’m a little cheater when it comes to transcribing from a CD. I have a device that allows me to slow the music down and even “grab” a note to ensure accuracy. It is a primitive piece of equipment compared to the computer software out there today, but I like transcribing the old fashion way-by ear (and my device). I got it while in college when jazz profs. would tell you to go transcibe a fast trumpet solo or saxophone or guitar or whatever by the next class period. It works great on whistle music because I can “grab” a cut or any grace note and figure out exactly what the performer is playing. Unfortunately, I have to write it out, unlike the new software. This is how I transcribed the “Concerning Hobbits” part on LOTR. I had that transcribed before I even owned a whistle, and when I got one I was amazed by how close to the recording it sounds. The only difference is how much feeling a performer puts into the piece (which Alan Doherty does nicely). So anyway, this is my evil secret of how I can transcribe all of this music and not even really play the instrument (except I’m really trying with whistle!)
I guess if people were interested, I could mail them a sample transcription and if they liked it and wanted something transcribed, I could do it for only the small cost of the postage (or not, I don’t know). It would keep my ear up to par! So let me know what you think.
