Thanks for those that have commented regarding the melody that I have used, I first heard this here • Trobar de Morte - The ... however it's use may be explained below.

I think what's happened is the version I heard was song to the words of "The Unquiet grave" but sung to the Tune of "The Star of the County Down", which according to Robert Cogan in his book130 great Irish Ballads was written by Cathal McGarvey 1866-1927 to an old Scottish air. According to Robert the Air has been used for many ballads including "Dives and Lazerus", "The Murder of Maria Martin" and "Claudy Banks"

Karan Casey sings”The Unquiet Grave”. This tune is “Star of the County Down”. Nicely played though!
Ah! I too thought the tune here is "Star of...."
Very simple! Will be my first piece to learn, thank you!

Thanks for this it's the first time i managed to keep up with a tune in the background without getting distracted :) you've just given me a huge boost ❤❤
Glad I could help!
I really like how you put the finger below each note. That’s very helpful for students! Nice going.
Glad it was helpful!
Great idea to show the fingering as you play.very helpful

Nice little tune. It sounds a lot like the Star of the Cpouonty Down.
I believe that it is

@@fretsnreeds It took me a long time to realise that a tune can have many songs associated with it and songs can have many tunes. If you do an ABC search for "The Unquiet Grave" it will turn up loads of settings (most of the tunes I play are for dancing to, and I know them by the name of the dance, so I know this tune by a dance name). I have heard many settings of this song, from Luke Kelly, Karen Casey et al and this stands with the best of them it makes a lovely ballad. Thanks.
Thanks, yes I arranged for the version I first heard on UA-cam and soon realised that was the case from kind comments of the folk community.
Love this! It is now on my list of tunes to learn how to play.
Thanks I'm pleased you like it! Have fun.
At 1.5 speed sounds like Star of the County Down
It is
Pretty
Thank you Michele, I'm pleased you liked it!
This isn't The Unquiet Grave, this is pretty clearly Star of the County Down

That does not sound like the Unquiet Grave. Totally different tune.
thanks for the feedback, could you link to a version that you think does sound like The Unquiet Grave so I can get what you mean. :)

Good video but hard to follow a long as it is quite small writing
I understand, are you looking at it on a smartphone? it's best viewed on a desktop.
This is the version of Unquiet Grave that I have heard - I guess there is more than one version ? ua-cam.com/video/mmhiAJ1qIG4/v-deo.html
