Whiskey In The Jar

Hello GMC!

This is the famous Irish traditional song called "Whiskey In The Jar".
I have prepared this easy version for beginners. You will play solo and fingerstyle accompaniment with alternating bass.

The accompaniment is playing only four chords: G, Em, C, D/D7.
As you can see in the video, for the chords I put the palm of my right hand on the sixth, fifth and fourth strings.
This allows me to get a more beautiful sound for the accompaniment.

Perform the song very slowly at first, then gradually increase the speed until you master the technique.
