G,A,H...???

Did you mean B rather than H? Or at least a key other than H (which doesn't exist)?

Just wanted to avoid confusing MacIntyre.

H is the standard German (and older European) notation for the note 'B'. H molle = B flat...
I believe it was to avoid confusion with something else? Howard Goodall would know; in fact he mentioned it on a doco I saw, but memory being what it is...

As far as I know it should be B like in the Anglo-Saxon area. H seems to have come into existence simply because it was some kind of transcription / spelling error. B of course makes much more sense although Germans etc. still use H instead of B.

That sounds right, and of course we shall defer to a native German speaker. I knew I'd heard a reason for it somewhere...

Interesting, I didn´t know that. Here in Czech republic, B is H flat.

D - all holes full
G - 3 holes full
A - 2 holes full
H - one hole full

hi all. i'm new to the forum so excuse me if what i'm asking for is somewhere i haven't seen yet...well i'd like to find the sheet music for the pogues song, jesse james. does anyone know where i can find it? thanx.

Good song. I believe it starts in G, althought it can be played in D. Start with G A B B B A GG, and work it out from there. Also theres a bit of playing around with those notes if you want to play the song like Spider does it. Btw I have presumed you are talking about the tin whistle....

Yeah, it starts with G. Not too difficult imo. But I wouldn´t dare to write whole tune here, I am not too certain of it, haven´t played it for a year. But if you play for some time, you should be able to play along the record.
