Swallowtail Jig - Irish cello

Groove Cello Academy - tunes library
The Swallowtail Jig is an Irish jig (in 6/8 time) that is one of the most popular jigs in traditional Irish music. It's one of the most-played jigs by far and is a "must-know" for any player of traditional music. Here it is in E dorian, also sometimes played in A dorian. The higher key (here) presents some challenges that inspire melodic variation to assist with some quick shifting. Cheers!
Demos, walkthroughs, and backups for loads of tunes can be found at Groove Cello Academy. As well as courses, challenges, and live classes for cellists!

Groove Cello is the playing of a cello as a "rhythm section" instrument. That means, in addition to playing melody, we play chords, baselines, percussion, accompaniment backups... or everything all at once. Ready to learn how?

@@groovecelloacademy my orchestra teacher assigned this as the fiddle conglomeration tryout, so I have to learn the cello part before school starts in the fall. 😁
