The Open Fence

Another Ian Hardie tune which can be found on “The Spider’s Web” album.

This is the middle tune of a set I (try to) play along with The Blue Head and The Bull Ring.
Undoubtably, this is the trickiest tune of the three and I’m toying with the idea of transposing it into “D”. I think this would probably work OK although it was originally composed in “E”.
