The notes are the easy part. What makes a jig sound Irish is everything around them: where the lift falls, which notes get cut, how the phrase leans. We'll cover rolls, cuts, triplets, and the rhythmic swing that separates a tune played correctly from a tune played convincingly. Works on any Irish tune you already know!
