Below is the lesson for “Morrison’s Jig”

Helpful Tips

Learn a show-stopping Irish jig for baritone ukulele that’s fast, fun, and impressive! This arrangement uses an alternate tuning: the 4th string (D) is tuned up a whole step to E, while the other strings remain unchanged. This tuning makes it easier to play in E Dorian, and in the intro of the lesson video, we’ll explain why.

The biggest challenge here is speed: the tune is performed at a brisk 160 BPM. But don’t worry! While that’s the target tempo, it still sounds fantastic played slower.

P.S. This lesson features a guest performance by Samantha Muir, a brilliant ukulele player from the U.K. We’re thrilled to showcase one of her beautiful arrangements!
