Si Bheag Si Mhor
(Sheebeg and Sheemore)
Composer: Turlough O’Carolan
Arranger: Lindsay Straw
Key: D
Tuning: Drop D
Harp tunes make for great fingerstyle guitar arrangements! There are definitely easier O'Carolan tunes to start with, but this was my first. An essentially straightforward arrangement of melody with bass notes and some chord tones when they're easy to grab, this one still trips me up if I haven't played it in a while. Sí Bheag Sí Mhór, Sheebeg & Sheemore, or however you want to spell it, it's an O'Carolan classic.
