Chris Peterson's Traditional Music Traditional Music This is a collection of (mostly) traditional music to look at, listen to, or download at your convenience. The emphasis is on traditional Celtic tunes, but there are some others you may find interesting, as well. Tunes marked with a dot are basic repertoire tunes, generally considered useful for beginners to know, at least where I live (it varies somewhat by region). As far as I know, all of these tunes are in the public domain. Remember, this is folk music. Click on the title to hear the tune, and click on [sheet music] to see it.

irishtune.info Irish Traditional Music Tune Index Chord Playing Charts - For Session Tunes & Songs, start page & titles list A large collection of charts that provide the chord playing sequences for 400 popular session and jam songs and tunes. THIS IS THE SECOND COLLECTION of chord charts on this site. Thanks to the folks at the PEGRAM JAM for this collection. They describe themselves as follows: The Pegram Jam began when a group of folks (mostly fiddle students) started playing Old Time/String Band music together in Pegram, Tennessee, just west of Nashville, back in December 2001. We were told by our teachers that we needed to practice with other musicians. There is also a PDF version of this chart book available from their site. Here you will find the sequence of chord changes for a large number of popular session tunes and songs. Many, but not all of the tunes listed below are in the Public Domain; do not assume that because they are old tunes that they are without copyright protection. Each page has about 10 charts on it.
