A staple in Irish sessions, "Pigeon on the Gate" in E Dorian is often played with a relentless, driving rhythm. While the Em-D progression is standard, some guitarists in DADGAD (capo 2) might add subtle G major voicings or drones, or a quick A minor, to add texture to the core E Dorian sound without overcrowding its rapid melody. Pairs up nicely with Tam lin. Open the arrangement to leave a comment! 👇
