*Notes: From Katy Adelson’s description in the Video above, “It’s a slide, which is kind of like a jig, but has a more “bouncy” nature to the tune — similar to a hornpipe. They also are also generally played at really fast tempos, but the “bouncy” vibe of the tune makes it feel like you aren’t playing so fast.”
