- This slip jig is in O'Neill's 1001 (alternative title Up and Down Again), but is apparently Northumbrian in origin (known as The Peacock and the Hen, or variants thereof. I am playing the version on @TheIrishMandolin 's website, which is in Am, though O'Neill's is in Em.
I would say deceptively simple. A tune with as few notes as this presents two challenges - getting the notes right and making it sound interesting.
One of those tunes which is commonly played in either E Minor or A Minor. I much prefer playing the A Minor setting ... just a personal taste thing. Interesting to contrast how I play the tune with your approach. Your take is much straighter than the way in which I would approach it but then I *do* have an over-fondness for swing (or so I've occasionally been told...) This is one of those tunes which regularly appears in lists of "the easiest tunes in the world to play". However I often find that these supposedly "easy" tunes - despite, or perhaps because of their inherent simplicity - require surprising amounts of concentration and effort.
Oops, above was obviously a reply to you, Aidan.
