  • Saw a video of Ian Stephenson playing this cracking tune on mandolin a few days ago and had to learn it!

    This rocks! The lower octave tone is so rich on that Bouzouki.

      Thanks! Yeah I had it made specifically as a comp instrument before I really got in to playing melodies, so it's really been designed with low end tone in mind. The sustain is incredible! I think this was recorded on my phone so the low end sound is actually even better when you hear it through a decent mic (or live!)

    I've always loved this tune from the KAN album. Nice playing with all those ornaments too!

    Hey man! Such crazy version. Would you do a tutorial or write the tabs down for this so I could learn it? Thanks a lot!

      good idea! I think I have a tabbed version somewhere so I'll try to fix it up and post it

      Have uploaded the tab here - facebook.com/eamoncoughlanmusic/photos/a.761312267409321/1925834520957084
      It's closer to the version played by Ian (the composer) on one of Nigel Forster's mandolin demo videos (but the tab is for GDAD bouzouki).

    Hey great playing! i was wondering if you knew a place where I could find the same tune for mandolin!

      I don't know of any tabs or dots, but I learned it from this video of Ian Stephenson playing it on mandolin - maybe you can follow it by ear or eye ua-cam.com/video/50uaDkE_NDo/v-deo.html

    This is just beautiful! I’m inspired to learn Irish bouzouki. What tuning is this being played in?

    • @EamonCoughlan
      @EamonCoughlan  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Gabriella! It's in GDAD, one octave below a mandolin and with the high string tuned down from E to D.
