Links for “tune collections”

A series of collaborative playlists, compiled by Aidan Crossey and guest contributors, which aims to build into a useful resource for those new to the music or indeed to seasoned listeners/players who may use the playlists to get inspiration for new directions…

A companion to my website www.theirishmandolin.com

Videos which display tunes set out in both "dots" and mandolin tablature while I play the tune once through, so the listener gets the gist. Currently updating at around 5 new videos per day (end-November 2020).

Did you know that in the settings cog for each video you can slow a tune down to half- or even quarter-speed without altering the pitch? A great way to learn tunes…
