Scottish Songs for Guitar: Rattlin' Roarin' Willie

Here’s a song that’s been equally popular in Scotland and Ireland for at least 200 years. 'Rattlin’ Roarin’ Willie,' a tune celebrating the adventures of a freewheeling, hard-drinking fiddler, is the only song in this collection in 9/8 slip-jig time. Think of it as a jig-and-a-half if it seems elusive at first.
