"Dheanainn Sugradh" is an example of a Scottish "waulking song" (with a "u"), or a song that was meant to accompany the process of pounding wet, loose, newly woven tweed fabric to tighten it. It features repetitive, hypnotic verses and refrains, and in my arrangement, a few bridges to add variation. (C-F-C, Capo 1)

Hi Jessica , would you happen to still have the tabs available for this piece ..or any other songs. I hope one day you put together a book. I would be more than happy to buy it. Your music is an inspiration.

Oh, thank you, Dusty! I just discovered your comment... Yes, this song tends to propel itself once I get started! :-)

Very pretty, Jessica. And yes, "hypnotic" is the right word.

Thank you, Stephanie! :-) It was a fun change to play a song thatused rawfingerpicking. I would usually use picks, but this one simply demanded bare fingers!

Carrie, I'm glad you like it! This song is so much fun to play! It just sort of happens... couldn't tell you how! :p

You're welcome, Nila! :-) Fingerpicking seemed to be the best approach for this song; I usually use a flatpick or fingerpicks. If you are interested, Ido have basic tab for this song but for a different arrangement and key (just to get started!).
