The Miller’s Maggot (jig) on The Session

The Miller’s Maggot

The third and last tune in the set with The White Petticoat and Stan Chapman’s, from Solas.

In the B Part, play those "extra" fs and gs in measures 1, 3, and 5 more like grace notes leading up to the next note: |e2 f f/g2e| and |e2 f f/g2g/|aga etc…| to get the swing that Solas puts into it.

You can also go to town on nearly all of these quarter notes, cutting them or using triplets on ‘em.

Guitar chords?

Does anyone have the guitar chords for this tune? If so please post them or send me an email. Thanks a lot! :-)

Guitar chords part 2

They’re not very good chords. Especially that A7 at the end.

jigs for miller’s maggot

Hey there, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a jig or two that would work well with the miller’s maggot. Maybe sets your group or local session plays. I have put together a couple of sets but haven’t really found any that work nicely. Any offerings much appreciated….

Re: jigs for miller’s maggot

i know the solas set…i like it alot…that was white petticoat and stan chapman’s, eh?

Re: jigs for miller’s maggot

I’m still trying to get up to speed on the set. the White Petticoat is the tricky one for me (banjo), especially the second part. Stan Chapman’s and Miller’s Maggot seem to go more easily. Our whistle player plays them all very nicely.

Re: jigs for miller’s maggot

i am play them on the tenor banjo, you too? I agree with you on the white petticoat thing… something about that is tricky…can’t put my finger on exactly why…
