Guitar Tutorial: As I Roved Out

Written By Lindsay Straw

I received a few requests for a breakdown of my arrangement of the wonderful Irish song “As I Roved Out,” so here it is! The transcription/tab is available on Flat.io. Download it so you can follow along!

This is a pretty straightforward arrangement that can stand alone as a solo piece, or could work well with violin or other melody instrument accompaniment. I broke down the different right hand picking patterns I use for the vocal accompaniment, as well as my intro and the chord-melody arrangement. It sits quite nicely in the key of G!
