Whist With A Twist

Hello!
It's time for a Scottish small pipe tune that I wrote today. It's a great tune for technique as well as rocking along. It's a four part jig that I wrote when I was playing around with the idea of implying chords within pipe tunes. You need to make sure your fingers are really accurate! Don't be sloppy when it's slow as it'll be impossible to play accurately fast!

Hamburska efter Pehr Ericsson

Hello!
This is the last of my Swedish tunes on the Scottish smallpipes for a while as I switch back to the säckpipa for a while now. This has to be one of my most favourite tunes I play on the pipes. Watch out for the rhythm, let it swing and enjoy!
