The Basic Slip Jig. The Slip Jig is similar to the Jig but it has an extra three beats so therefore has a count of nine. The rhythm can be heard as three groups of three with the emphasis on the first of every three or on 1, 4 & 7 if you are counting in nine or to help you with the sequence you could use the words A-pple-tree, Or-ange-tree and Le-mon-tree. The commas between each group are there to show you the three separate groups.
