The Kesh - Traditional Irish Jig



Here is another fun traditional Irish jig played on the guitar. The only tricky part with this tune is how to hit the high 'B' note at the end of the second part. I usually slide up to get it or play the 'B' and then slide back down to the 'G'. Here is the TAB for the tune:
