Tune 9: Greenwood Side

Number in Book: 8
Tune Type: Quick March
Time Signature: 2/4

While most of the tunes in the Scots Guards are not ones I have played before, some I have. As luck would have it, this one not only was familiar to me beforehand, but I've actually been practising it up for a competition in a few weeks.
The problem is, this version is different to the one I've been learning, and a fair bit more complicated. Ah, it's the never-ending problem of a piper!

For an acoustic (and significantly different-sounding, and quite beautiful) version of this tune, check out this link:

...I respect the “ish”
I know it’s written differently for many bands...
But I feel there are a couple places you’re using a D throw when it would sound better as the B, C & D separate the last one of the first part is a D throw tho

To be fair I haven’t struck my pipes up in years so 🤐
