Music TOW#6: Little Diamond
Little Diamond

[Image: littd.gif]

A great tune I learned a few years back from fiddler Clare McLaughlin. It's an Irish polka, possibly from the Coleman era.

The way I teach it is:

Liver Birds - arpeggio; Liver Birds - GF#E; Scale; Ending. Simple!

(Sorry the Tune of the Week is late, but I was exhausted after my 3-week summer schools.)

RE: TOW#6: Little Diamond
I found this a real toughie for some reason, I am still not comfortable with it but I managed a take: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzac89Mlnlo Played on my new Paul Shippey 10 String Mandolin which is absolutely fantastic.......Once I'm more comfortable I can try the mandola part of it, which I have tabbed out and attached here...
