Have to say this must be the most useful bouzouki channel on UA-cam. Please keep it up. Many thanks from a striving beginner.😯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you found this helpful!
More content like this please, brilliant breakdown.
My favorite bouzouki song. Huge fan of Daoiri Farrell
Hi, I’m a long time bass player in rock bands mostly, sometimes blues and punk rock too.
I added the ukulele to my quiver recently (couple of years ago) and it has done me much good. It is so nice to play the ukulele everywhere, at any time. So easy to play.
But I’m totally struck by the Irish bouzouki I am just discovering.
This sounds so glorious, so bright, so cheerful and sad at the same time.
This appeals to me deeply.
You play it with great mastery.
I don’t know how much longer I can refrain from buying a second hand one.
Well eventually I got an honorable Hora and your video is my first step into Irish folk music and the Bouzouki. So far so good - so much to learn
You absolute beauty. Great lesson would have taken me an age to work this out.
Absolute class break down- thank you!
Very informative and well presented. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I love this tune and some months ago I tried to learn it as a beginner but I gave up because I couldn't find anything that helped me. Now I found your video coincidentally and I'm so happy about it :D
Kind regards from Vienna
Very helpful, and great to see more of the Irish Bouzouki. Quite hard to see exactly where to fret the chords and riff with which fingers. Would be helpful to see slower placement of which fingers on which frets. Many thanks for an interesting and informative video.
I didn't spot this at first, but the tabs are written below the stave on the music.
Amazing, thank-you! I can't wait to even get it up to the slow speed. I've only really strummed so far... just gotta keep drilling that picking pattern!
Your tuto is just perfect! Thank you!😁
This is plain wonderful!
excellent tutorial thanks for sharing this great tune!
Great video. I'm delighted to find a bouzouki channel like this - very helpful indeed. Thanks for doing this!
Thank you! 🫡
Come ooon!!!! 🎉Thanks!
Very cool instrument!
You my good sir, are a God send! Been looking for a breakdown like this for over a year! Keep up the great work!!! Also, if it's not to much to ask, I'd love to see you perform Farrel's rendition of little drummer.
Cheers!
Hey, i just found your channel and this is exactly what i needed :D
As soon as i am home again and have my bouzouki i am so gonna watch all your vids and start practicing the hell out of it. That really the best tutorial for a song i ever watched. The structure how you teach the single sections, chords first, then picking patterns and so on is really nice 👍👍👍
Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely be doing more in the same format in the future!
I found this from the Irish Bouzouki blog.
I've had a bouzouki for about 2 years but haven't made much progress. I've got about 25 saved tutorial videos and this is the first time that I've thought that, with practice and practice, I might actually be able to play something that I can be proud of
Thanks for inspiring me, I'll be practicing this evening after work.
Glad to hear it! Keep it up!
Definitely the best bouzouki channel I've found thus far on here. Keep it up and more Daoiri arrangements please. I bought a bouzouki after hearing his version of Foggy Dew. Would love to see you break that down like you have here. Really appreciate the work you put into this. Cheers!
Thank you! I appreciate that a lot! More in the works... 🫡
Very helpful. Keep going please.
The most clear and easy to follow tutorial I've ever found for the Irish bouzouki. I'm a beginner and am struggling to fine tutorials that match my learning style that I can actually follow and learn from. I paid for a year of OAIM and nope, not helpful. Even though this is more advanced for me, I feel like this is so easy to follow I'm gonna give it a shot! Thank you!!
(also if anyone has any good beginner recommendations and/or tools PLEASE let me know)
Day 4 and I am playing along with you at 100 beats per minute! It's rough trying to get faster, feels like I should be able to but I haven't built up the familiarity and dexterity. Long way to 180 beats per min.
@@Morgan-oq7uj Keep up the good work!
Just been to see Daoiri for first time in my home town. I loved hearing him play this tune, especially. I have tuned my mandolin to these notes as l'm leaning that instrument at moment but have been offered a bouzoukar. It has octave paired low strings G and D. Should l change strings to same pitch or keep for that sound?
That's awesome! Seeing Daoiri live is definitely on my bucket list, hopefully he comes closer to my neck of the woods one of these days...
As far as the octave vs unison tuning, it's really a matter of preference. If you want to stay more true to the original song, you'd want the string courses to be tuned in unison. However, I did play this song on my other Bouzouki with the G and D octaved, and it still sounded great, just different.
I'd try it first octaved and see if that's your flavour.
Andy Irvine has bouzouki with octave G and D strings but others with all unison courses. l wondered which version was the more commonly preferred amongst the great exponents. Octave strings seem harder to play to beginners like myself.
Ushers Island came to Bury recently and l finally got to meet Irvine, who l never saw in Planxty days😢.Always loved that band, but now Daori, half Andy's age, carries on the wonderful tradition.😊😊😊
This tutorial was great! Do you think this song can be played on the mandolin? I haven't found anyone on UA-cam playing it.
Thank you!
You would need to tune the mandolin GDAD, as this song utilizes the open D on the high string a ton. Other than that, it could definitely be done!
What brand do you recommend as a starter bouzouki? I’ve been playing guitar, bass, and uke for years
The Hora Irish Concert Bouzouki I'm using in the video has served me well, but for a similar price point, the Mcneela Irish Bouzouki is supposed to be quite a bit better. Hope that helps!
Amazing stuff! Would a similar video for Daoiri's version of little drummer or sweet portadown be difficult ?
Thank you!
It's more just a question of time, as I have a pretty large backlog of priority videos (as well as a full time day job), but I'll absolutely keep that in mind!
Thanks Brent this was amazing super great job … are the chords the same when singing the verse and chorus as well ,?
Thank you!
No, the verse chords are pretty much all different, I'm going to be making a part 2 lesson that covers this next
That’s great dude look forward to that one ☝️
Thanks for posting this content. I don't have a bouzouki yet. I'm an accomplished acoustic guitar player and have recently been bitten by the Bouzouki bug! I would like to know who made your instrument, it looks and sounds beautiful.
It's a super fun instrument, I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot!
Mine is made by a Romanian Company called Hora. Them, as well as Carvalho from Portugal, make some of the best mass produced Bouzoukis (in my opinion). Otherwise, you basically have to go to a custom builder if you want a step up!
Hi again any thoughts on playing the verse as per Daoiri ?
Yes, Part 2 is in the works which will break down the verse!
@@brentmatusikmusic Thanks for the reply that’s great. Look forward to your take on it .👏👏👋🏻
Do you have any chord boxes for this?
Yes, however, I currently don't really have a platform to post them. I'm working towards getting a website/patreon running in the future so I can post resources for the community (if there's enough interest, of course!).
🙌 *promosm*
Wouldn’t it be better to show the notes and chords relative to the Capo position.
I did that to help educate people on the actual chords/notes being played in this song, rather than relying on the capo as a crutch.
why arent you naming the chords relative to the nut instead of the capo? are you nuts? also this does not sound much like whay iaori farrell does
Thanks but not good to see the Canadian flag flopped there like a rag. If you are not going to fly it with respect put it away respectfully.😐😑😐
lol you sound like an American
r u serous?
that doesnt sound at all like what daori plays...you gotta be jokimg right?
It would be great if you could show us how to play it properly then!
He did say in the style of not exactly like. If you know anything about folk and most especially Celtic music you would understand that everyone plays a slightly different version making it their own. Even the old standards have variations.
It’s close enough for me to play and perform 👌👌
