Cliffs of Moher is a really cute Irish Jig, and it can be easily incorporated into many different sets. I hope this fiddle tune tutorial helps you learn the tune! =)

This tutorial goes over the basic tune version for the Cliffs of Moher that I know. There are a lot of variations out there, so feel free to mix new ideas into your version to create your own unique way of playing the tune! =)
I've been receiving a lot of comments asking about both notating the tune as I play as well as increasing the tempo. I am apprehensive to put the notes into the tutorial, but I also realize that a lot of my viewers would appreciate seeing the sheet music. Learning how to play the music without the aid of sheet music is a very good skill to learn, so I encourage everyone to try to learn the tune by ear. However, I realized that how I pronounce the letters in the English alphabet may be confusing to others that speak different languages, so hopefully the sheet music will help add some clarity.
Because one of the easiest ways to learn how to play faster is through repetition and gradually increasing the tempo, I've added additional tempo run-through versions at the end of the video. I hope you have fun learning the tune! =)
Thank you for watching, and happy fiddling! =D
