“Whiskey In The Jar” by Thin Lizzy – Ukulele Tutorial

info-64  About The Song

"Whiskey in the Jar" is a popular Irish traditional song from the 17th or 18th Century. The author is unknown. A lot of artists recorded their version of this song. The Dubliners made a version of it in the 1960s and in 1990 they made a version with The Pogues. In the early 1970s the band Thin Lizzy had a huge chart success with their rock version of the song. In the 1990s Metallica made the song popular again with their a hard rock version. Our version is based on the  Thin Lizzy version with a little bit of laid back feel. We hope you like it, if so feel free to leave a comment. Have Fun.

    Thank you for a fantastic web site.

    Love the tutorial on Whiskey in the Jar for Ukulele. Would it be possible to find a tab for the melody line being played in the recording. Really nice

    Best regards

      Hi Malcolm,

      I’ll tab the melody, but at the moment I’m working on other things. Stay tuned.
      Thanks for your kind words.

      Best wishes
