UCL2.2 - WEEK 3
​"WHISKEY ON A SUNDAY"

This week you will explore "Whiskey on a Sunday", a song written by Glyn Hughes (1932–1972), which became popular during the second British Folk Revival. It is sometimes called "The Ballad of Seth Davy" and has been covered by many an Irish folk band.

NB: We do not condone the drinking of whiskey to practice this song ;) 

The song is in 3/4 time and combines strumming and picking and leary singing. Have a listen to the Audio track.
Here is the Dubliners version... Can you guess what key it is in?

STRUMMING PATTERNS

The song alternates between the two strumming patterns shown on the PDF as follows:

PICKING PATTERNS

There are two picking patterns as illustrate on the PDF. They both play over two bars each.
​The first one is quite light and the second, adds just one extra pluck to give it a bit more intensity.
