About Cincinatti Hornpipe:

Cincinnati Hornpipe According to the Fiddler’s Companion:

CORK HORNPIPE [1], THE. AKA and see “Cincinnati Hornpipe [1],” “Dundee Hornpipe,” “Fred Wilson’s Clog,” “Granny Will Your Dog Bite?” (Pa.), “Harvest Home [1],” “Higgin’s Hornpipe,” “Kephart’s Clog” (Pa.), “Kildare Fancy,” “Snyder’s Jig” (Pa.), “Standard Hornpipe,” “Wilson’s Clog [1],” “Zig-Zag Hornpipe/Clog.” Irish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard. ABB’ (Moylan): AABB (Levey, Roche). The name Cork is derived from the Gaelic word coraigh, a swamp. The tune was known under this title by central New York fiddler Winifred “Murph” Baker (Champion, NY), a regionally significant traditional fiddler in the mid-late 20th century. Most American versions were learned under a variety of alternate titles (the most popular being “Harvest Home”), with “Cork Hornpipe” appearing exclusively in Irish publications.

    Vi, What are the back up chords for the second half of the song…pretty sure I’ve got the first half figured out, but am struggling with the second half. Thanks,
    BJ

      Sorry for not having a count off on this one. I will make sure I count it off on future videos. The first note I play is the first beat of a measure, and it’s an eighth note. Almost all of the notes in the song are equal length, so as soon as you get the first couple of notes, you should be able to get in the groove.
