Hooray! Welcome back! I was the person who found you through your previous channel, recently bought your wonderful book, and who reached out to you to say that during my work days throughout the pandemic, I would sit in my car at lunch and play along with your tutorial of this song. Thanks for many hours of music and many hundreds more to come!
Hello James! Glad to see you again...! I hope we will have a lot of old and new tutorials to continue learning Irish tunes. I am a real idiot in music theory, and your «old» tutorials (by ear) helped me a lot... like when I was learning the violin with my violin teacher, who quickly understood that I was impervious to such activities... about 60 years ago... 🤪
Thanks for the support! More tutorials are on the way to help you continue learning Irish tunes - by ear (which is the most traditional way to practice!) 🎶🍀
Will try my best! Retrieving old content from the last channel is proving very difficult! In the interim, I'll continue to create new and improved videos! Many thanks for watching 😊

If only your wonderful book had chords instead of this very odd relentless naming of the notes etc. And jeez! Surely if somebody learns a few of these 365 tunes from your book they will then have at least an inkling of what the notes are called? Why give the note names on every tune? Are people stupid?
Thanks for the feedback! I get where you're coming from - I actually learned music using note names (ABCs) in my youth. This is the most popular learning method (alongside learning tunes by ear). Now, I naturally write out tunes in ABCs a lot faster than tab or stave notation. It’s just how my brain works! I've never written chord charts before - something I might consider adding in the future. Appreciate your thoughts!
Thank you for the video. So happy to see you back after your hiatus. 😊
Thank you!! 😊 A lot more to come.
It’s great to see some new fresh banjo lessons and videos being released. It’s hard to find tenor banjo tutorials on UA-cam lately!
Glad you like them! More to come soon!
Hooray! Welcome back!
