Si Bheag, Si Mhor By Turlough O'Carolan Performed by William Coulter on Celtic Treasure - Track 07 Tabbed by Fargenator ([email protected]) DADGBE (Dropped D) Tuning, Capo I This tab is matched to the sound of William Coulter's rendition of the O'Carolan classic found on the Celtic Treasure Album. Although I did my best to represent the timing, tabs can only do so much, so you'll need to listen to the song to get an idea of the rhythm. While this may seem tough, most of the song is just slight variations on two different, basic verses, those verses being the First Verse and Third Verse. I believe this is pretty accurate, with some slight uncertainty when it comes to which strings are played in the chords. Email me any mistakes, please.
