FAQ

Questions about The Skibbereen Lasses

  • The Skibbereen Lasses is in A, in C| time. The A major scale gives you every note it uses.

  • Easy. 99% of the notes fall in first position, between the open string and the fifth fret, and the highest fret used is 6.

  • The tune type is not recorded in the source collection.

  • Yes. Copy the ABC below into the ABC transposer, move the transpose control by semitone, and the notation and tab are redrawn together in the new key. Handy if a singer wants it lower or the tune sits awkwardly on the neck.

  • 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.
