Old Morpeth Rant

Sheet music and play-along backing tracks for many of our tunes available here - https://www.patreon.com/thegoodtune The perhaps lesser known of the two Morpeth Rants, although by no means inferior! The Old Morpeth and New Morpeth rant are commonly played together and have become signature tunes from the Northumbrian tradition. The rant is a dance step performed in Northumbrian dancing, which Kevin talks about and demonstrates over at - https://www.patreon.com/thegoodtune Which other rants do you play together with the Morpeth? Featuring Kevin Lees (fiddle) and Sebastian Bloch (guitar).

Delightful, as always! This is different from the tune I learned as "Morpeth Rant" (probably from The Fiddler's Facebook). Maybe that's a "New Morpeth Rant"?!

Nancy Couch

Almost as much fun to listen to, as you are having playing it :-)

Yes that's right, it's generally regarded as an older version of the more commonly known version, hence the name Old Morpeth Rant and (New) Morpeth Rant. The B part has the most obvious variation, enough to warrant that it is indeed a different tune in its own right.

Drew

Such a merry tune. Look forward to learning this one!

Chris Webb

Can I please ask Sebastian how the guitar is tuned for the early release of the Old Morpeth Rant? I'm used to looking at the headstock of the guitar to guess the tuning, and this guitar seems usually to be tuned CGCGCG, but for this tune it sounds different. What is the tuning please? Thank you.

Hi Chris, this time it's DGDGDG. We will try to remember to write the tunings for all future videos!
