Haste To The Wedding in D Major — Jig | Tenor Banjo TAB & D Whistle Fingering

Japanese version: Haste To The Wedding（Dメジャー・Jig）｜バンジョーTABとD管ホイッスル運指

“Haste To The Wedding,” an Irish session jig, has been converted with ABC2Tab for D tin whistle and GDAE tenor banjo. The score shows standard notation, note-by-note whistle fingering, and banjo string and fret positions.

Basic information

• Tune type: Jig
• Time signature: 6/8
• Key: D Major
• Tenor banjo tuning: GDAE
• Whistle: D tin whistle (zero unsupported notes)

Both the whistle-fingering score and banjo TAB use consistent four-measure systems.

D tin whistle: standard notation and fingering

Six circles appear below every note. A filled circle means covered, an open circle means uncovered, and the top circle is nearest the mouthpiece.

Tenor banjo: standard notation and GDAE TAB

Note names appear above the staff and TAB below it. The strings are tuned G-D-A-E from lowest to highest; numbers are frets and 0 is an open string.

How to practise

1. Feel 6/8 as two broad beats, with three notes inside each beat.
2. Repeat each four-measure system, checking whistle fingering and banjo position separately.
3. Play with the practice audio, then use the fuller arrangement to hear the complete tune flow.
