Gently As She Goes – Lyre Harp Tutorial

 

Learn how to play “Gently As She Goes” on the lyre harp. This song was featured in the 2007 movie “Beowulf” and was also covered by Erutan, the multi-talented independent singer. Notes are in the video and can also be downloaded on my Patreon page.

Tuning instructions:

This is a 16-string lyre in the video. Tune the strings to the following notes:
G, A, B, C D E F G A B C’ D’ E’ F’ G’ A’

or sometimes written as:
G3 A3 B3 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4 B4 C5 D5 E5 F5 G5 A5

To play using both hands:

Simply assign the low notes to one hand and the high notes to the other.

Happy playing! 😃
