Play along with me
It's time for action! The recordings below provide a selection of popular tunes – 12 reels and 12 jigs.
You can adjust the playback speed of each tune by altering the little number to the right of the player – by default, the speed of each tune is set to 1.
If you are starting a tune for the first time, I suggest that you reduce this number to, say, 0.6 and you can then speed it up as you improve. A tempo of 1 represents an average playing speed, although some session players may go a bit faster than this (perhaps 1.2).
