This year I got a tin whistle for my birthday, and over the last several months, I've slowly been trying to learn new songs. Unfortunately, a lot of the songs I love and want to learn are hard to find online. There are a few websites that give tabs, among those the simply wonderful MartinDardis.com, but other than those few resources, there's not much for the tin whistle. Sometimes you can find the sheet music for various songs, and that's nice, but sometimes even that's not easy. And I'm awful slow at reading sheet music to begin with. So I've started making my own tabs for songs. Sometimes I'll create the visual tabs, and sometimes I'll just write out the notes, but in either case, I hope this will be helpful to other beginners like me who want to learn new songs without having to deal with sheet music.
Just a note, I'm not the most talented musical person, for all my wishes to the contrary, so a lot of the songs which I picked up by ear might have a few mistakes here and there. If you see any, PLEASE correct me. I'm here to learn, same as everyone else, and I'd love to have someone fix my mistakes.
I'm open to taking requests, but I have trouble learning songs by ear which I don't know very well, so...it might not always work. I'll be happy to give it a try, though.
Hope you find something useful here!
