This is the full fingerstyle guitar lesson for Danny Boy.

The lyrics to Danny Boy were written by Frederic Weatherly in 1910. Later, he added the lyrics to the melody of Londonderry Air, which is an Irish folk tune.

It’s a truly beautiful melody, known the world over, and makes for a great fingerstyle arrangement.

Danny Boy Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

This arrangement is aimed for the beginner – intermediate fingerpicker but you’ll likely still enjoy playing it even if you are more advanced. I’ve placed a capo on the 2nd fret but this is completely optional – don’t use one at all if you don’t want to. I just find it helps to sweeten up the sound a little.
