Thank you for this. I played in the school céilí band when I was 14 and quit guitar so i could dance instead. Now picking up guitar again in my 50's, this takes me back. Much appreciate this lesson👍
Well done I am a Scottish Celtic player learning DADGAD and find absolutely nothing on strumming patterns this is very useful. Keep the lessons coming.the 🤩👍
Great intro to jig accompaniment. You could also mention striving to do it mostly with the wrist with an anchored arm rather than fatiguing your arm and elbow strumming with the whole arm or forearm. Ask my tennis elbow. I love the way you talk too.
Interesting- thanks Jenna. Your right about the lack of online content for accompanying Scottish music - I've got away with bog standard chords for this sort of thing for years (you've heard me do it on multiple occasions in the pub over the years). How would you like to talk a little about the more modern approach to chords for accompaniment please, and I'll steal some of your knowledge 😊
Ta for this. I'm basically a whistle player who plays a bit of basic guitar. I'll be interested in seeing some of your Scottish stuff as I want to learn how to play some tunes properly for a change😊
Thanks so much for that, just starting with guitar and interested in Celtic music.Very easy to follow your tutorial and i managed to strum the 6/8 with 2 triplets so fantastic lesson.Thanks from Australia🎸
Aw that's great Terry I'm so glad that you're making progress!! I'm glad you've just got into this music, you're at the start of a very exciting journey!
Hi, Trying to learn this, your video is very helpful. I have carefully watched this video multiple times. Here is what I learned, so correct me if I am wrong. Basic pattern is triplet times two. Strokes are dn/up/dn. In practice they became dn/dn/up. It seems like you changed the pattern when you went from one string to partial cords. The use of partial cords is important to give the correct tone. Also, seems like there is a little muting going on to minimize the ringing sound and to emphasize the beat. Again thanks for the very helpful video. It was short and packed with info and technique.
@@jennamacrory4699 Fabulous! Iontach ar fad! :) There are so few lessons on Celtic trad flatpicking. Most of them are bluegrass. It would be so fantastic to have a few. Especially the reel. What are yer few favourite reels you like to flatpick, Jenna? Have a nice weekend! Tomó
@@jennamacrory4699 ps: Yeh, I got more time to write now. I would add that there are plenty of lessons for the fidil by Kevin Burke, Máiréid Ní Mhaonaigh or flute by Shannon Heaton but almost non for the guitar in Irish trad. And I almost forgot, what plectrum do you use? I use a Dunlop Nylon 0.60mm but wish there were something between it and the 0.73mm; like a 0.63-0.65mm with more punch but still bright enough for my taste and less clicky than the 0.60mm. Cheers! Mise le meas.
Great video! Thanks!
Wonderful video!!!! So helpful! I want to play with a celtic band and this will really help with accompaniment.

Try learning Cortez the killer by Neil Young it’s a crash course in using your hand for timing a changing picking pattern. The Chain is also drop d.
Double drop d that is.

Very helpful thanks. A good straightforward explanation and demonstration, with useful tips along the way.
Thank you Vince, I really appreciate that!

That guitar sounds amazing. What is it? Very helpful tutorial too thanks for taking your free time to help us all out. Be blessed!
Good lesson. Keep up videos. I would like a closer look at the chords you’re playing. They have a great Scottish sound.
Which brand and model no guitar is this
She had me with the accent.
Heyo Jenna !
Happy New Year 2022!
Do you also play the melody in flatpicking?
Slàinte
I do some flat picking I'm actually hoping to do a few more tutorials in the near future on how to flatpack tunes!
@@jennamacrory4699 Fabulous!
