I was at a bar 2 weeks ago when i quit my job, i was just drinking and thinking about what i had always wanted to do if i had free time.
then a musician came in and started to play a banjo. i studied at Texas A&M and the banjo really bought back some great happy memories. the upbeat sound and brisk notes! i just said thats it! i want to learn the banjo! and in my drunken state just bought a random 4 string banjo from amazon (i actually wanted the 5 string bluegrass banjo but i didnt know lol)
Now i am picking between learning Irish Tenor or Dixie Jazz. you sir had convinced me to learn the Irish Tenor style!
Brilliant it’s great fun to play!
Incredible player. Wow every time I hear Fergal I realize I have much much practise to do. He has truly set the bar very high we'll done Fergal 😉
paul doyle thanks.
My ex-husband and I have always been wanting to visit Ireland. It's culture is amazing. Seeing this beautiful views make me feel that maybe I should have been born in Europe ❤
This is my kind of music
❤ Love your work Fergal. Perth West Australia
Thanks very much glad you enjoyed.
Nothing sounds as good as a banjo played well and boy do you play it well.
Kevin Baddeley thanks! Appreciate it
Fergal O’Hanlon is an incredible banjo player.
lovely! wonderful! cool!
Thanks
I have been listening to 3 years now, each time I like it more than the last. Just amazing sir.
Thanks very much it’s great to know you keep enjoy it for so long.
I’m still about it. This is just a wonderful tune
I can't stop listening, I don't know how there are over 1 million likes in this beautiful song
Thanks
I went from the great Luke Kelly playing Raglan Road live, to this! Man this is awesome! Thank you!
Thank you too
And to think that I've 'wasted' over 45 years playing the five-string banjo when all this time I could have been perfecting my craft on the four-string Irish banjo. It's makes a grown man want to openly weep in disgust. (By the way, Fergal, your playing is sublime.)
Dean thanks. I love the sound of 5 string banjo!!
I got lost on youtube but damn that was good
Valentin Gonzalez glad you found it and enjoyed it! Thanks

Bro I have NEVER liked and subbed so fast, well earned man this is amazing! DEF the first thing im going to learn!
Thanks!
@@fergalohanlonmusic is there anywhere I could find the tabs? I can transcribe if needed, but it would be a help, lol
@@D-ster if you go to the session.org there’s a version added to the tunes section it’s not tabs but it’s a good transcription of the basic tune.
@@fergalohanlonmusic for sure! I’ll check it out, thanks a bunch! Keep at it man, i’m listening to more and more of your content and loving it all
Absolutely fantastic please share the tabs so I can learn... love it
Hi. When i composed this i never wrote it down (and haven't played it in ages). I have no idea what the tabs are. Glad you enjoyed. Cheers
Deadly 👌
Lovely banjo BTW.
Nice one. Cheers!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bloody great playing ....
Cheers Robbie
@@fergalohanlonmusic iv just bought a cleareen elite...see u hav the setanta.... amazing banjos....
@@robbiekennedy1029 yeah great banjos. Had an Oyster first and then got the Setanta after. Enjoy the elite!
@@fergalohanlonmusic tanks man..... iv a long way to go to b as good as you....
Damn son
Too much fun! This sounds like it could have been a traditional. Do you think square dances should have a DJ in addition to a caller?
Victor Eijkhout would be interesting to see!! 😊
Thats the beauty of Irish trad, musicians can make a tune their own with ornamentation
Fantastic! Is there abc for this on the session? Amazing playing!
What banjo are you playing?
Hi. No I never wrote it down before so there’ll be no notes anywhere for it. Banjo is a Clareen Setanta Nickel
Outstanding, I would love to play this on my banjo or at least something like it, do you know what tuning you were in when you made this? If not then what’s the regular tuning for this kind of music?
Thanks. I always use GDAE tuning which is the most commonly used. Some people use CGDA or ADAE too but most of the time it will be GDAE
Any Chance i could get the notes of this off you?
Great job dude. Have you used greenscreen in some video parts? And yes, very nice triplets, I really would like to play them once. Regards from Czechoslovakia :)
banjoman80 hi. No green screen. All filmed on location in Wexford town. Thanks
@@fergalohanlonmusic Brilliant work. Keep it up! Cheers with pint of Guinness of course :)
banjoman80 my favourite!
I love it! i just bought a banjo and am trying to learn, would it be possible to have tabs by any chance? I would love to learn your song!
Hi. I don’t have tabs for this when I composed it I never wrote it down
I'm late to finding this, but was some filmed in Wexford by any chance? I was there several years ago for a painting festival, and it looked familiar.
Hi Elaine. Yes this is all in Wexford Town
@@fergalohanlonmusic I loved it there, and enjoy keeping up with some of the people I met. Hoping for the day when I can come back. Slainte!
Super banjo playing here , live to learn that tune superb , is that a Clareen Banjo Fergal?
James Flanagan hi. Yeah that’s my Clareen Setanta. Had it custom made in 2013. It’s in all the videos just with different heads from time to time. Cheers
@@fergalohanlonmusic you are some player man how long are you playing? Those triplets are insane 😃
James Flanagan about 11 years when it was recorded. I was playing a lot of banjo at the time. Nowadays not so much so don’t know if i could even play this today
@@fergalohanlonmusic wow get that banjo back in your hands be an awful shame , are you an all Ireland champion? I'm out looking for a good banjo if ya have any advice I'm playing one a few months now but the one I have is too flat.
James Flanagan depends on the budget you have but Clareen banjos is worth a call as they have vintage stuff as well as new. No I never played in Fleadhs solo only a few group competitions. Just wanted to learn for myself really
Brilliant playing, is this in galway?
Hi. Thanks. This is in Wexford Town
Brilliant playing Fergal. Hope you're keeping well. Which Clareen banjo is that ?
Hi Spencer. It’s a Setanta Nickel, with an all maple construction
@@fergalohanlonmusic Great sound to it.
I’m learning bluegrass banjo and I’d love to learn this style as well are there any pointers you could give for beginners
Listen to as much music as you can in this style and also Irish music in other instruments too. That way you’ll get a good feel for where to put ornaments etc. Apart from that just very regular practice. Relaxation is very important as it’s ver easy to become tense especially trying to perform triplets and play faster
What model of Clareen banjo are you playing there? Sounds awesome.
Jamie Cooper it’s a Setanta Nickel
@@fergalohanlonmusic Thanks. What make and gauge of plectrum do you use?
Jamie Cooper I like Clayton’s. Usually the Black Raven ones in either 0.50 or 0.63. I used to use the teardrop shape but now I like the larger triangle shape.
@@fergalohanlonmusic Do you give online lessons?
Jamie Cooper not at the moment but will be looking to do so in the future.
I'm new to Banjo. How is this tuned?
Did you shoot this in Galway?
Faolen Marrok Wexford Town
Where did you shoot this? Is it in Ireland?
Any notes of this tune anywhere, it’s not on the session
Ryan Savage no I never did write it out. I haven’t really played it since I recorded this so even I would have trouble remembering it!
Fergal O'Hanlon yeah suppose it’s been 2 years, it sounds class btw just found it again on my liked videos. Thanks anyway.
Thanks!
By any chance do you do banjo lessons?
Not anymore I’m not playing that much banjo these days
Tempted to buy a banjo after watching this to learn and keep me occupied during the covid lockdown
This is brilliant 5 ***** but Barney mckennas banjo solo is the best version
