Here is an example of a piece I might call a "minor jig" if it did not carry the title "breakdown".

It is a nice piece and I like the title.

This has the phrase structure of Miss McLeod's Reel/ Hop High Ladies with all the notes changed.  

Very cool piece. Yah, I'd call it a "Minor Jig" too.

Here's Tab and an MP3 if anyone wants it. There's a rallentando in M8 that doesn't have a matching a tempo in the following measure...which makes it sssllloooowww...so I added it.

There's also a crazy Gm7 (G/Bb/F) chord in the 2nd Banjo part, next-to-last measure before the Trio. I inverted it and put the G on top (Bb/F/G). Much easier to finger and I actually prefer the sound.

Of course, I messed up the MP3. Here it is. This is @ 116bpm...what Musescore uses as Allegretto.
