Bouzouki player, Michael McNelly is sharing his collection of “tablature” sheet music for bouzouki and mandolin. Some of these tabs are incomplete, and a bit rough, but they’re all free to use and share. If you find them useful, you can say thanks by dropping us a line, or by purchasing our latest CD.

Songs from … Thirty Foot and Three

The latest CD from The Gallowglasses is all collected in this one place. The tune sets are listed as separate tunes.

Tunes and Tune Sets

This is a large collection of session tunes, most of which have been ornamented by Michael in his own … peculiar style. A few of these tunes are set (capo) in a key that is not the standard used in most sessions. Caveat emptor.

Pub Favorites

The songs we all love to hate … including two versions of Whiskey in the Jar.

Lesser Known Songs

While the title is “Lesser Known”, most bouzouki players will recognize most of these songs. Lots of pieces from Planxty here, thought not always accurate versions.

Odds and Ends

Sometimes Michael works out utterly non-traditional songs.
