I'm so glad I found this video. Marla I remember meeting you a very long time ago. Cait Reed, RIP, was the one that taught me the Irish mandolin and she had introduced me to you. Thank you for doing the video. I found it very inspiring and brought back memories I thought were lost after a brain injury. I have pulled out the mandolin and am starting to play once again to help me recover. once again thank you for your participation with this video.
Wow, Mark. Thank you so much for this note, and I remember meeting you. I miss Cait so much and think of her often. I'm very gratified that the video has inspired you to play once again - that makes my day! All the best to you! -Marla
Thanks Marla. That’s the best Irish mandolin tutorial I’ve ever seen. Slow and clear. You have a beautiful-sounding mandolin. I put my mandolin aside a few years ago because I wasn’t making progress but I might just be tempted to take it up again.
@@bayareamandolinmusic I’m retiring next year, so I do want to try it again. It just that I seemed to be going around in circles and not moving forward. Perhaps a new approach is needed.
A MandoLessons youtube channel! WOW where have I been? lol This is just fabulous 8^) Marla as a tutor is just wonderful. I have never heard anyone say repeat until you memorise it. That is precisely how I taught myself. At one stage I had about 80 olde melodies of all time signatures in memory which I need to refresh both physically and mentally. I also have a brand new Washburn Florentine M3SW, (before Americanas) which has been sitting in its case for about 20 years. Its immaculate I restrung it about a month ago. It doesn't have anywhere near the cred of Marlas ripper vintage mando of course. I can't wait to hook in!
What a great opportunity for us to have such a marvelous person teach us a mandolin lesson. I have enjoyed hearing you play in the past and really enjoyed your stuff!
This is so cool... as a guitarist i have sat in sessions and heard these rhythms effortlessly being played. Lovely to have it spelled out. Masterclass indeed
Hello @lorcanzepf7828 -- Marla Fibish here. There is actually a difference between the technique I call 'delay' and a hammer-on, which I use as well. A hammer-on uses one attack with the pick to produce two notes -- they can be used many different ways to create different musical effects. In a delay, both the leading tone and the target note are picked as separate 8th notes. Take a look at about 16:20 in the video where I cover it. Let me know if you still have questions!
Marla teaches me. Her delay isn't the same as a hammer-on. Here, she uses both at the same time. There is a hammer-on as you say, but the point is that it happens slightly later than would be usual in this rhythm.
Why is this instruction called "masterclass"? The tips given seem not to be on a master level but of more fundamental type. When I watch "masterclassses" by clarinet players like Martin Fröst, they address individual gifted players and help improve some details of their renditions. They are not at all concerned with note-by-note walkthroughs of particular repertoire pieces.
Marla Fibish is such an inspiration for all of us who play irish mandolin. Thanks Baron !
Thank you Marla, that mandolin has incredible tone and the sustain goes on, and on, and on, and on. Lovely

Thanks!
Wow, what perfect timing! I recently purchased a mandolin just to play Irish music!
Simply the best instructor. Brilliant. Thank you!

Take it up again! You won't regret it! 🙂

Great collaboration! I've just queued up my next jig to learn. Thanks!

Marla Fibish, simply a treasure!
Awesome 👌
Sounds good from here in Irish Liverpool, UK.
From Irish East Lancashire too. My Mum was from the Pool, Everton.
for anyone wondering the delay is more commonly known as a hammer on by guitarist, I like a slur too

@@bayareamandolinmusic oh right thank you so much, that makes more sense
Thank you. This is great. Sadly I can’t see the links/attachments in the description that you both refer to. Am I missing something?
Nor can I…
My mistake! I've added the links in the description now

a master is giving a class hence a masterclass
