FOllow the Heron

(Karine Polwart)

Composer: Karine Polwart | Arranger: Lindsay Straw | Key: A (G w/ capo 2) | Tuning: Drop D

A perfectly bright-hearted song for springtime from the wonderful Scottish singer-songwriter Karine Polwart. She is a fabulous interpreter of traditional songs as well, and I love how their influence comes through in her originals.

The tutorial and transcription explain how I play this song, but note - this is my own arrangement, and though it’s not wildly different it is not quite the way she does it either solo or with Malinky.
