Weekly Practice Set

The Slow Jam has been running for a long time now and tunes have continually been added.

For newer players it’s a bit of a journey to get familiar with so many tunes.

Each week Finlay will post here a recorded set of tunes from the standard repertoire to help you get familiar with the material.

The sheet music, mandolin TAB and chords can be downloaded from GFW Session Tunes

Check back and try to play along with the recording.

Regulars at the Islay Inn sessions showed their thanks to Finlay by commissioning a tune for him. Sweet FA was written by Bruce MacGregor and presented to Finlay as a thank you for all of his hard work.
