This is the real thing! So may Irish fiddle tutorials are by Americans who aren't really embedded in the tradition, and don't have Kevin's deep understanding. He's that rare being - a superb performer who fully understands what he's doing and has the ability to communicate it clearly.
I have heard your Sligo fiddling and I love your playing. You are my favourite. Thanks for these words on getting the Irish pulse right.. There are many like me in all parts of the world that love Irish music but it is impossible to be there in Ireland to live it. All tips very gratefully received Kevin. You are a master. Martin Hayes WAS my favourite but when I heard you!!!. That did it. Peter
For years I've been devouring every piece of Irish fiddle instructional material put out by Kevin Burke. It's been an amazing ongoing process learning more and more about his style, and Irish fiddling in general.
This was great. I've avoided playing out with others because I could tell my "Celtic rhythm" was off, but I didn't know why. This helped me to understand what to do to get the spirit. Also, I can't imagine anyone not liking this video. Maybe classical players?
Sessions work like this... 1 or 2 people lead it, others join in, any one can start up a set of tunes, but don't over do it if your new or a beginner, usually each tune is played 3 times and 3 tunes and played together in a set.
Great tutor ...can anyone tell me why you rarely if ever come across a critique of trad players on utube however they play...while in classical music performers of world standing seem to attract all sorts of experts telling them how to perform?

Kevin is the gift that keeps on giving. A truly remarkable man!
Classical violin girl here, and I'm so appreciative of the tutorial and tips 🙏
Always good to hear what Kevin has to say
Great master class Kevin.
This is very interesting for me as a baroque violinist. Thank you so much.

Awesome my dear 🥰 Pernille back in Wonderful Copenhagen 🎵🌹❤️
Thank you for explaining these differences. I find it fascinating that the tricks can be in the bow and not so much the notes or rythm. Great.
Fantastic masterclass👌
God Bless ye Kevin!!!!!

actually classical players are coming here to see how this is done ！
Classical players love Kevin's work. Gaslight much? lol
this is great, thank you for breaking it down and posting it for us...
great video, I would love to see a video about how sessions work and session etiquette

Sometimes if people are familiar with the same album, we will play those sets
Don't shoot me, i'm just a guitar player.
But i'm grateful to find that wonderful tutorial.
really intresting. thank you indeed
Great! Love this
To play Toss The Feathers like Sharon Corr the second phrase are distinguished by volume swells.

Traditional musics often don’t have a definitive “right” way to do it but classical music does, especially baroque
Carraroe Jig Hayes version you can hear this❤
gracias, maestro, pero no puedo con la desafinación
Please can you post the name of the tune you play a snippet of at 7mins30secs into the video? thanks :)
Sounds like The Connachtman’s Rambles :)
(Or ‘Connaughtman’s’, depending on your spelling!)
