"The SS Stewart version we are discussing is for C tuning. The transposition from the original A tuning sheet music has already been done. "
"Isn't this written for A tuning though? I can't tell if it's meant to be transposed."
"In the last 4 measures I would go TIMT TIMT etc. No problem using two thumb strokes in a row if played at Titanic String Band speed. If played at high speed I would try something else."
"Had a look now at the first version Joel attached here. In the last four rows, when it moves to the key of Fm, that's the thing I was curious about. For me, I think doing an alternate thumb in-between middle and index is probably the most…"
"Joel, I missed your reply earlier (I swear there was nothing between Jody's and mine before). But thank you very much! I will have a look at that soon."

"Edit: third technically not fourth"
"Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XlaDB5PCH0&t=754s The first time is at 10:40. You can't see Peter's hand that time, but when he plays it again at 10:54 you can tell that he plays strings 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, but…"
"Actually I devised a method for this sort of reverse roll. You just use the fourth finger to alternate pick the first string and then roll back with the third second and first finger on the second third and fourth string"
"The only Youtube "video" I can find on youtube of Titanic String Band playing this piece is audio only. The only four note descending passages I hear are strings 5,1 2 3. It's the characteristic triplets of this piece followed…"
