Basic Tin Whistle Ornamentation: The Swallowtail Jig

Hey friends!  Today's lesson is a tin whistle tutorial, but also applies to flute players (anyone using a simple six-hole system instrument). We are using the popular session jig "The Swallowtail" (in E minor) to learn about taps, cuts, and rolls. We'll go through the nitty-gritty technical details of how to execute each articulation, and discuss where and how to use them in the tune (and in other melodies in general). As a bonus feature, I'll show you some variations that I use in this tune for some extra spice!
