I liked the book of Irish songs even if I didn't know some I was able to listen to the song on youtube and then it's easy to learn. The book for the Tin whistle was easy to follow.

A fantastic book great tunes songs. with fingering positions and chords a great aide to any beginner interested in traditional Irish music on whistle or guitar.

"Netter Versuch" - unvollständig und fehlerhaft
Reviewed in Germany on 10 June 2020Verified Purchase
Nachdem ich mich jetzt einmal durch das komplette Buch durchgearbeitet habe, diverse Versionen von jedem Song gehört und ausprobiert habe, und den Rotstift angesetzt habe:
Dieses Buch besteht aus mehr Korrekturen als Inhalt. Es fehlen Strophen, es strotzt vor Druckfehlern in den vorhandenen Strophen, und die Melodien sind oftmals rhythmisch oder tonal so weit abweichend vom "traditional", dass ich mich frage, warum ich überhaupt Geld dafür ausgegeben habe. Mit dem Aufwand, den ich da reingesteckt hab', hätt ich es auch selber schreiben können...
KEINE Kaufempfehlung, GANZ BESONDERS nicht für Anfänger, die dann am Ende alles richtig machen, und sich trotzdem fragen: wieso klingt das Lied nicht so wie ich das gewohnt bin?

Buen repertorio irlandés
Reviewed in Spain on 12 March 2021Verified Purchase
Es buen libro de repertorio con muchas canciones tradicionales, pero no es muy completo. Por ejemplo, "Irish washer woman" está solo la primera parte de la canción, y la segunda parte no la han incluído, una lástima. Otras piezas sí que están completas. Viene una página explicando la ornamentación muy claramente.
Echo en falta el audio descargable para tener una referencia antes de tocar, aunque algunas son muy conocidas. Me habría gustado que el libro incluyese "The Kesh Jig", "Out on the Ocean", pero bueno, en general me parece un buen libro con partituras y tablaturas. Y para los cantantes viene con la letra completa en todas las canciones. Cada pieza incluye además los acordes para acompañar con guitarra.

Great Deal
Reviewed in Canada on 27 March 2022Verified Purchase
This is an excellent source of all the old popular and familiar Irish Tunes. Contains Tin Whistle Notes, easy to learn finger charts, lyrics and even basic guitar chords. I Highly recommend this book especially if you are learning Tin Whistle or just want to add some new tunes to your repertoire.
