Shambles, The

Slide · 12/8 · D major

Composed by Scottish fiddler Bruce MacGregor, The Shambles is a contemporary 12/8 slide written in the key of D major. Because the tune's history beyond its modern composition is not formally documented, its musical character is best defined by its driving dance rhythm and vibrant, melodic flow. It is typically performed in traditional Scottish and Celtic sessions with an energetic and rhythmic bowing style suited for the slide meter.
