2) hornpipes, jigs and reels
3) tunes from the Bunting collection
4) harp tunes of Turlough O'Carolan

All are in either standard or dropped-D tuning, and can be played on either nylon or steel string guitars. All of these melodies are accompanied with brief historical notes. Written in standard notation and tablature. Intermediate in difficulty.
