I'm a guitarist, so of course I first heard this in Richard Thompson's version. I wonder if someone could answer questions about the idiom. There's some tiresome and unhelpful kvetching at The Session about how Skinner shouldn't have called this a pibroch to begin with...whatever, dudes. I play slide guitar in open tunings, so I get a drone for free. Some ornaments are easy with the layout of open strings; some would be impossible. I have The Harp and Claymore in front of me, but perhaps the "variation" shown there is just one option? The C# in the melody in the book is ornamented with a quick snap (acciaccatura?) from the D. The A, on the other hand, is preceded with a 32nd-note triplet: A-D-B. I notice that Paul does not seem to play the latter: he just pulls off a B to get to the open A string. Maybe the longer ornament is used in an uptempo variation? One day I'll get up the nerve to post a video of myself playing it on my Stratocaster tuned to open A...but I'd like to get the details right. I don't want to say, "Look, I'm rendering a pibroch with my amp on 10!" and disrespect the conventions.

Thank you so much for this superbly informative video. I really enjoyed it!

Damn… So beautiful! 🙏🇧🇷

Your fiddling of this and 4 Poster Bed made our morning here in the USA! Our family has dear memories of musical times past where these two tunes were fiddled by someone very special to us who lives now only in our fond memories. Your superb playing immediately brought back to us those days gone by. Thank you for your joyful fiddling in that acoustically wonderful space!
