LESSON 2: UILLEANN PIPE JIGS
Jigs are tunes in 6/8 and are fast and fun.
How do you know something’s a jig? Try saying "rashers and sausages, rashers and sausages" in time with the music. If it fits, it's a jig! And if you’re not sure how an Irishman would say "rashers", try "carrots and cabbages, carrots and cabbages". There’s often a little bit at the end of the bar that sounds like "sat on a wall", so don’t let that throw you!
Jigs are pulsed like the word “EN-er-gy”
