Here is a tutorial for how to play Swallowtail Jig! This is a great tune to play in jam sessions! I hope this helps you learn the tune! =)

Quick Links:
Demonstration: 0:33
A Part: 1:11
A Part Run-Through: 6:04
B Part: 6:45
B Part Run-Through: 11:06
Entire Tune Played Slowly: 12:08

This is a really fun tune to play. There are so many fun E-minor jigs and reels that can be paired with this tune, and it's also a fun tune to create variations with. The simple chord structure makes this a great for everyone to play, even beginners! I hope you have fun learning the tune! =)

If you would like the sheet music to the more advanced version that I played on YouTube, it can be found here:

It has variations that I do not go over in this tutorial, but the main tune that we learn in this tutorial is in it. =)

Thank you for watching, and happy practicing! =D
