My Guitar Arrangement of some Irish tunes

Here's me playing one of my arrangements for guitar of the Leitrim Jig and A Fig for a Kiss. I know I said I'd put some fiddling up first but this just happened. Please tell me what you think, I'm hungry for feedback. Enjoy!

I just watched your video and listened to your playing some traditional Irish tunes.
EXCELLENT!!
As someone who knows a bit about traditional Irish music I have to say that you played those tunes wonderfully!!
Have you been playing long?
Do you "specialize"in finger picking , rythmn,etc?
Anyway I see where this video was poated a few weeks back...sorry I just saw it now.
Well, best to you and let me if you ever see this "comment".
You really have a great talent for Irish tunes!!

Gabe, I enjoyed your playing and love Irish melodies. I spent about 45 minutes trying to play it the way you do before seeing your offer of the tableture.
I would love to receive it.

By the way, music and farming do fit well together. It's what my wife and I do.

Hey david, I have no other way to get in touch with you except here, so if you're really interested in tablature you'll have to send me your email address.

Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Hey Gabe, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sending me the tablature as well. (mowgef@gmail.com)

I don't play guitar but I do play bass and I've been looking for some Irish sort of stuff to play along with. =)

Very nice work my man. Keep it up.
Best wishes.

Gabe,

You posted on my blog asking to come check our your music. Nice stuff, i enjoyed the fiddling, makes me wish i played that instrument. The guitar playing is nice, good selection of tunes. If i were to change a few things i might try to play the melody not so staccato all the time. The whole thing could flow a bit more. Perhaps play the melody on adjacent strings, using some of the notes up the neck, even if it means you have to get of a bass note or two.
