  • Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
  • A set of reels for the ITM course I'm teaching. I don't know if this camera angle makes any sense though..
    Melody: tenor banjo (Pilgrim Celtic Dawn)
    Backing: Irish bouzouki (APC), I tried a pick made of oak (by Pickat) and it's got a nice grip of a thick pick but still decent bite.
    I uploaded the sheet music complete with the backing chords at irish.muualla.n...

    Thanks, really like the camera perspective, very clear and natural from the viewpoint of the player. New to tenor banjo, great set!

    This can also be played on a mandolin, yes? I love guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, fiddles .. anything with strings on it. Thanks for the upload.

    • @NiiloSirola

      Sure, mandolin is in the same tuning so this should transfer directly

    I always tune my G to the G on guitar, if you use an electronic tuner you can end up tuning an octave too low which will make your strings loose

    What string gauges/brand do you use? My strings always seem to be to loose, in GDAE tuning that is.

    • @NiiloSirola
      @NiiloSirola  8 років тому

      At the moment they're D'Addario LE011, LE018P, LE026PB and LE036P. Depends of course on the scale length and trim how loose they feel. I've got mine trimmed pretty close

    how do you pick triplets?

    • @NiiloSirola
      @NiiloSirola  3 роки тому +2

      Without thinking much about it, apparently :D
      It seems I'm almost always alternate picking, but trying to downpick on the beats. So for example consecutive quarter notes would be all down-picked. And if I do a triplet, that reverses the pick direction so I seem to reverse that back within the next couple of eights back into downpicking on the beats.

    • @NiiloSirola

      Haha, just don't take any technique advice from this, this is me trying to fret each note as visibly as possible, while desperately trying to keep the ol' thumb out of the way :)

    • @NiiloSirola
      @NiiloSirola  6 років тому +1

      770carlo I would have accompanied this in DADGAD tuning, but standard is just as fine if that feels more natural
