Pogues tablatures for all instruments

[Mick Molloy]

Anyone know where i can get accurate Piano sheet music for Pogues? In particular Fairytale of New York and Rainy Night In Soho. I've got a simplified version of the FONY sheet music in the house but I want to learn the full thing, especially the intro.

The Pogues songbook. I;ve seen several online

Here are some really good links I found for lyrics and tabs.

Pogues song tabs? I've looked around and they dont seem exremely accurate, im talking solo effort on accoustic here, id like to do a couple

Hells Ditch
Sayonara
Lorca's Norvena

if anyone knows a good link, could you reply?

[Pyro]

By tabs you mean chords, or single notes? I could be of some help, maybe, as far as I remember, I could whistle Sayonara and play pieces of Ditch and Novena. I may try to figure them out today.

And please tell us which instrument´s tracks - for example, bass in Lorca´s Novena is played on guitar as holding E-moll, playing only two pushed strings (A and D), sliding it to third fret - you should hear when to do so (it´s changing rather fast).

Btw, I like your nick - don´t you have tab or notes for Wake of Medusa? I love that song. Possibly bass and accordion tabs.

Ive been teaching myself guitar and ive been looking at the chords to Pogues songs and i figure ill eventually be able to play them. They dont look to hard. But i want to get a full song under my belt. Can anyone recomnd an easy song for me to learn. Maybe 2 or 3 chords throughout the whole song (if there is any pogues songs like that). Thanks.

Streams of Whiskey is quite easy

Kitty even more so

Dirty Old Town.

Still teaching myself to play mandolin and am looking for some pogues tab.

I've found most of it such as from
http://www.folkpunktabs.com/Mandolin.htm and
http://www.theinternetlol.com/mandolin/tabs.html

I've been playing around w/ Dirty Old Town to styart off w/ after doing some lessons however I don't feel it is correct.

What is bothering me particularly is the bit starting at: ...By the old canal... all the way through to Dirty old town:
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--2~~5~~7~~5~~2~~~~--0-2---------------------2-0~~~~~~~~--2----0------------|
D|--------------------------5-----5-0~~~~--2-5-------------------------5----2~~~~~~-|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
by the old canal | I kissed my girl by the factory wall| Dirty old town Tirty old town

I felt the first bit sounded better as:

A|--7~~5~~~2~~~0~~2~~~~~...
----BY THE OLD CA-NAL...

but now the rest of it still sounds very wrong to me: I KISSED MY GIRL BY THE | FACTORY WALL | DIRTY OLD TOWN | DIRTY OLD TOWN

Does anyone have a set of corrected tab for Mandolin?

Thanks,
Coop

[theCOOP]

so this is what I started w/


And this is where I'm at. AFAIK, the green areas are all gooder, the top portion is unmodified, the green portions on the bottom are modified from the original:


Still having problems w/ the unmodified bits.

thoughts?

I understand why my post was merged with an older thread, but I can't help but feel it's been lost in a thread ppl have already stopped reading.

I guess I feel it'd be a better idea to leave the two threads independant of one another at least until the new receives a response, THEN they could be merged, purged and/or archived.

I find it hard to believe that no one has any insight on this topic?

Cheers!

If I had my mandolin with me and five minutes in your company, I could do this. But I never got the hang of "tablatures", I'm sorry to say.

I'm impressed by anyone who can write out this tab thing - I can just about read it.

For Mandolin there's a great site called the Mandolin Cafe at http://www.mandolincafe.com/ and I'm thinking of buying a banjo this month, but can't decide whether to go for a 5 or 4 string, and if I go for the 4 string, whether I need to tune it the same as my mando or learn a whole load of new chord shapes?

Anyone?

Yeah, Mandolin Cafe is great. I found them before I even got the Mando. It's just a little unfortunate that it seems to cater more to the Bluegrass or classical croud however moreso than celtic, not that there's anything wrong w/ that, but most of the lessons I've found, lean toward bluegrass.


Because Mandolin is the first instrument I've ever picked up, and I can't even really read music, I really couldn't say definitively whether the Banjo should be tuned like the Mandolin, but if I would hazard to guess, I'd tune them seperately, otherwise one may not ever play the other instrument as it is intended to be played...not that there's anything wrong w/ that. Kinda like it might be important to forget all about Mandolin when learning to play Banjo, otherwise you might just get stuck in a never ending loop of trying to get the banjo to sound like mandolin, but really, what do I know? A reputable dealer should be able to tune it properly in any event.

For all I know, they're basically tuned the same way anyway...or not.

As for writing or reading tablature, for someone who can't read music, Tab is pretty much intuitive IMO, especially considering it basically looks the same way the strings are laid out. And coming from someone who's mostly using TAB 100%, and I've looked at a lot of it, it goes from very very simple, so very complicated (and I haven't learned to read all of it yet either).

I'm kinda learning to read tab and play by ear, because most of it is so poorly written IMO, that it takes a few tries to make even the correct notes to sound like anything familiar. I am learning to read standard notation too, because it helps to make sense of the more complicated TAB, what with up/down beats, speed, breaks, repeats, etc.

Hopefully in the end, I'll be reading standard notation and forget all about TAB.

Thanks,
Coop

I've had a quick search but can't find anything, which I'm surprised at. So if I've overlooked it, apologies!

I bought a mandolin on Saturday and am starting to get the hang of it (I can play one string), and although I'm nowhere near good enough to play anything properly I would like to find some pogues sheet music. I bought a fantastic little book of auld Irish songs and ballands which include songs such as Irish Rover, Muirsheen Durkin, Waxies' Dargle, etc, but not any Pogues originals. I have scoured the internet but have only found guitar tabs. I could translate these into mandolin tabs, but this would take a while and I would prefer a hard copy. Even if I could just get Young Ned of the Hill I'd be happy!

Much thanks!

I'm not.. I just wonder how do you do it, guys? Do you always walk barefoot coz after a quick search you fail to find both boots and car keys?

Young Ned of The Hill mandolin tabs

More tabs (mostly guitar) here

Look through previous posts in this thread, you'll find cupla useful tips for you and your mandolin i believe.

Enjoy!
