Coast River by Donal Lunny (print w/ Courier 10 font) Played fast! From"Donal Lunny," Gael-Linn CEFCD-133. This is a tough one, especially after he starts dropping, adding and shifting notes: to my mind, as if the river bank is collapsing into the current. The A to B chords in parts A and B come "off the beat" as marked. It works if you play the rhythm: dotted quarter, quarter, dotted quarter over two measures (think 1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2-3). ho = hammer-on; po = pull-off; r = rest Em _3_ ___ | | | | | A||----------------------------------|----------------------------------- ||o---------------------------------|----------------------------------- ||o-5-------2--------2-5-2---0------|-----------2--------2-----------5-- ||-------------------ho-po----------|---4------------------------------- |_______| |_______| |_______| |_______| D___ ___ ___ ___ ___ | | | | | | | | | | -----------------------------------|------------------------------------ -----------0-----------------------|---------------------0---3---2---0-- ---4---5-------4----0-----------2--|----4-------5----------------------- -----------------------------------|------------------------------------ |_______| |_______| |_______| |_______| Em _3_ ___ | | | | | ------------------------------------|----------------------------------- ------------------------------------|----------------------------------- ----5-------2--------2-5-2---0------|-----------2--------2-----------4-- ---------------------ho-po----------|---4------------------------------- |_______| |_______| |_______| |_______| ___ A___ B | | | | ------------------------------------|---------------------------------|| ------------0--------2---3---2---0--|------------------5-------------o|| ----5----------------ho-------------|-5-------4----------------4-----o|| ------------------------------------|---------------------------------|| |_______| |_______| |_______| |_______| Part B has two tricky hammer-ons from the 1st string 2nd fret to the 3rd fret. There is a long pause across two of the measures before you do the actual hammer.

He has shifted melody notes so that it no longer sounds "square," yet it is! Tough to feel these sections: better buy the CD.
