“The Wind That Shakes the Barley” is another classic reel in the key of D. It’s in the key of D, but it starts and ends on an A note, the open A string. There’s a big jump in the first part of “The Wind That Shakes the Barley” from the open D string to the G on the E string, so Emerald shows you how to “rock” your bow to make this jump cleanly. You’ll learn the first part of “The Wind That Shakes the Barley” in this video.
