    This is the only version I've really really enjoyed, aside from Daoiri Farrell's recording (still my gold standard). Nicely done!

    Well done! My favorite song. Daoiri Farrell is the father of this child for me, but your version is just as award winning! You nailed it!

    This is absolutely brilliant!!
    I have spent a lot of time trying to get it in DADGAD
    I'm a bit off your version but sure no harm
    I had to laugh at your instructions of how to play it.
    G F C Em etc etc
    Probably took you 10 minutes to figure it out, im a bit jealous
    Would love to hear you do Tipping her up to Nancy

    Not sure how long you've been playing music but as a musician myself this was awesome dude. If you ever want to collab lmk. Hard to find good musicians to work with and keep that flame lit. Mad respect

    Great job. This song harkens back to a way of life that is no longer in vogue. Back when people needed their dogs' help to live off the land and feed their families.

    • @BillyMcKelvie
      @BillyMcKelvie  4 роки тому +12

      James Mahoney thanks mate!
      I’m playing in Open D5 tuning (DADADD) with a capo at 4th, then I’m playing from the 5th (9th) fret just trying to replicate the bouzouki in Daoirí Farrell’s version.
      But I think if you detune standard by half a step you can play it in G, D, Em etc
      Hope this helps!

      @@BillyMcKelvie Hey Billy, just had a listen to your song in that link you posted. Outstanding brother, if that was an example of your songwriting, you really need to record an album, you've definitely got the gift man.

    That was fantastic! Really love the last bars, really belting it out and giving it all on the strings! So good.
    What tuning are you in and would you be happy to give an idea of the cord progression. I’m a crap player but I’d love to try and learn this!

    Acoustic? As opposed to all those Electric versions? 😉😉 Well done making it your own style and doing it respectfully and well.
    This is not the Traditional Irish Folk style, but even Daoiri Farrell's famous version ( ua-cam.com/video/UPI_tHNjS78/v-deo.htmlsi=UzDcckA2rKSYvw-5 ) is an uptempo version of the original Paddy Tunney version that is quite soporific by comparison ua-cam.com/video/_vDG1uLDBEA/v-deo.htmlsi=-N9M-S6I2DkzYV8W. I got used to Farrell's version and was prodding Tunney to get on with it when I heard the original.
