Ask My Father

Slide · 12/8 · G major

Ask My Father is a traditional Irish slide in 12/8 meter and G major whose exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown. As a lively dance tune, it features the characteristic flowing rhythm and bouncing phrasing typical of the slide genre from the Sliabh Luachra region. Because historical records and early printed sources for the tune are scarce, players typically approach it with a light, rhythmic touch suited for social dancing.
