SHE MOVED THROUGH THE FAIR – for Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:51:20 +0000

“She moved through the fair” is one of the most beautiful traditional irish song: its original author is unknown, but the modern lyrics were written mostly by Padraic Colum. Most modern arrangements of the song can be traced to the recording by Fairport Convention in 1968, who adopted the style of the song from the travelling singer Margaret Barry. Also of note is the recording of the song by Alan Stivell in 1973.
Here I try to play it only for fingerstyle acoustic guitar. This adaptation is mine and I play it with my McIlroy guitar, tuning in DADGBD.

Led Zeppelin Black Mountain Side COVER DADGAD Acoustic Zep Blackwaterside

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:11:56 +0000

Led Zeppelin Black Mountain Side COVER Wheew! A very difficult cover of an acoustic number by Mr Page paying tribute to an old Irish folk tune, Blackwaterside. Many have attributed Mr. Bert Jansch with this tune but it is a twist on a called Blackwaterside. The song by Mr. Page was recorded on Led Zeppelin’s first album from 1969. This is in a DADGAD style tuning but 1/2 step lower to match the album which would make it a D flat. Mr. Page calls this his “CIA” tuning…Celtic, Indian and Arabic. What he did with this song and the arrangement and production with tabla shows how ingeniuos he really is…transforming an old Irish tune into sort of an international piece by bringing the connection of Celtic and Indian music together. Remember he did this in the late 1960s when the Beatles and the Stones had featured the Sitar and classical Indian instruments on the songs “Within you, without you” and the Stones “Paint it Black” I believe.
I made several attempts to play this in its entirety and correctly. It is a variation on a theme and is not exactly the way Mr. Page arranged it. I think the hybrid picking and fingering technique is more in line with what Mr. Page did in the studio then just fingerpicking or flat picking the song.
Sorry I do not have any tabs for this song. I learned it by ear. I made an attempt to also show both hands during the taping of this so you can get an idea of how its played.

When I get it closer to 99% I will repost.

I hope you enjoy it and can learn something from it. It is very difficult to learn and play, one of the most challenging of Page’s acoustic numbers. Remember, have fun with your playing !
