The Celtic fiddle tradition — Irish reels and jigs, Scottish strathspeys, Cape Breton dance tunes — has been a steady source of repertoire for bluegrass and old-time players. Many Appalachian tunes descend from Celtic ones; modern players add new Celtic tunes constantly. Nineteen Celtic-tradition tunes in our catalog.

Each tune’s page on Picker’s Guide has chord charts, recordings, and notes on arrangements.
