This is a fingerpicked arrangement of an Irish tune called The Wise Maid that I pulled out of the Fiddler's Fakebook. All I've really done is to put a very straightforward bass line under it, but it sounds pretty cool. When I play it alone, I do it once through at a slowish pace, trying for a harp sound, then I pick it up and do it a second time at a fair clip. I generally follow this with two other tunes from the Fakebook, Allie Crocker and Eighth of January, flatpicked at as ridiculous a tempo as I can manage. Enjoy it, and comments are welcome. (I'm working on similar stuff for Kid On the Mountain and Rights Of Man, if anyone is interested in more of this sort of thing.) -------------------- The Wise Maid (Traditional, Arr.

Unless, of course, you want to do otherwise. *Comments to jkiparsk@reed.edu
