FAQ

Questions about Gillespie's Hornpipe

  • Gillespie's Hornpipe is in A, in 2/4 time. On a GDAE instrument it sits in first position.

  • Easy. 95% of the notes fall in first position, between the open string and the fifth fret, and the highest fret used is 6.

  • It is a hornpipe, written in 2/4.

  • Yes. Tenor banjo, mandolin and octave mandola are all tuned GDAE, so the tab above is identical for all three. A bouzouki tuned GDAD needs the top string adjusting, which the converter handles.
