Cooley's Reel

Hi GMCers and welcome to a new lesson.
This time we´ll see some Irish folk, so, I came up with a famous Irish Reel.

What´s a Reel:
Basically, it´s a folk dance.
All reels have the same structure, consisting largely of quaver movement with an accent on the first and third beats of the bar. A reel is distinguished from a hornpipe by consisting primarily of even beats. Reels usually have two parts (A and B); in most reels each part is repeated (AABB), but in others it is not (ABAB). Each part (A and B) typically has eight bars, which in turn are divisible into four-bar and two-bar phrases, as in a scheme of question-answer, where the first phrase is the "question" and the second is the "answer."

This awesome tune is played in many Celtic gigs around the world! So, you´ll find so many listeners once you learn it! XD

Hope you like this lesson!
Take it step by step and have fun!

Used scales: F minor. E minor *
Meter: 4/4 –
Guitar Tune: Down 1/2 step
TEMPO: 95 Bpm.

* this reel is composed in the key of E minor.
I played it in F minor ´cause my guitar tune is down 1/2 step. So, you can learn it in both keys.

As some of you know, I use a POD xt to rec all my lessons. you´ll find my presets on my board ;)

If you have any problems let me know.
Take care and see you all around.
