**A chanter with G drones Tunebook**Tunes for G major smallpipes with a range of G - a
compiled by Patrick McLaurinwww.patrickmclaurin.comLast Updated May 11, 2020
______________________________________________This tunebook has an odd organization.
First are tunes I like organized into sets, with the tune type determining the order alphabetically.Then, you’ll find tunes listed, alphabetically according to tune type, except tunes I like are denoted with an asterisk so they get listed first.
Tunes with "zz" also in the title require high B.Every tune requires a C natural instead of a C sharp.
Some tunes will have notes written above other notes telling you what the original note was that was outside the range.Some tunes will have superimposed notes in places where a note might be outside the range, pick one.

auld ac quain tance be for got, and auld lang syne? For
auld lang syne, my jo, for auld lang syne, We’ll

We twa hae run a boot the braes, an’ pu’ed the go wans fine; but we’ve
wan dered mony a weary fit, sin’ auld lang syne;
We twa hae pad dled in the burn, frae mor nin’ sun till dine; but
seas be tween us braid hae roared, sin’ auld lang syne;
-
And Here’s a hand, my trus ty fiere, and gie’s a hand o’ thine; and we’ll
tak’ a right guid wil lie waugh for auld lang syne;
