The Blackthorn Stick REVISITED - a jig in G Major tabbed for mandolin and played by Aidan Crossey

4 July 2024. Sheet music and tab for this tune is available to download FREE OF CHARGE at the following link: https://theirishmandolin.com/wp-conte...

When a tune appears here for the first time, the sound file sticks pretty closely to the dots and tablature "script". Revisited videos may deviate a little because in the intervening period I may have begun to play the tune a little differently. That's the way with this music. Our personal playing styles and our approaches to tunes develop over time.

Notated, tabbed for mandolin and played on his Belmuse EM-190 electric mandolin by Aidan Crossey. Browse my collection of archived tune learning materials at http://TheIrishMandolin.com - follow the link to "learn some tunes".
