If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you’ll know I’m presently wreaking havoc on the guitar...any remotely folkish sounding tune with an absolute max of three chords runs the risk of being butchered- Johnny Cash, Bawb Dylan, the Pogues, Billy Bragg- I’m really no respecter of reputations.
Anyhow, one of my favourite pieces (despite the outrageous fourth chord) is "Whiskey in the Jar"; my voice isn’t quite as dirty as Phil’s and perhaps a Gary Moore would move the fingers slightly more nimbly; but apart from that, after a couple of those jars, I do sound remarkably like this:
Got to be the best ever rock version of a folk tune.
