Renowned flutist and composer Michael McGoldrick has published a new tune book, 50 Original Tunes & Chords: Volume 1. The collection gathers fifty original melodies with accompanying chord suggestions, arranged for players at a range of levels.
The material reflects McGoldrick’s mix of traditional roots and contemporary writing, offering reels, jigs, and other dance forms aimed at both practice and performance.
A companion digital audio download comes with recordings of all fifty tunes, featuring Donald Shaw on piano and Innis White on guitar. The tracks sit at a slower practice tempo to support learning and play-along use, giving players a clear guide to phrasing, rhythm, and accompaniment options.
