Very glad that you find it helpful 😁 Of there's anything in particular that you'd like to see covered on the channel just let me known and I'll try my best.
Hi Bec, glad you like the channel. In that section of the video I'm playing a Martin 000-15S. It's actually my wife's guitar! It plays and sounds great, defo worth checking out 👍
Hi again Aodan!@@aodancoynemusic This is random but I'm stuck. Can you please help answer something for me? It's not a guitar question, but I've spent several hours searching for what I thought would be simple info about Irish music in G and you literally are the only person I'm really trusting can give me a straight forward answer. My MAIN question is, can Uilleann pipes drone/play melodies in G? I have written a fun jig in 6/8 and in my mind I hear uilleann pipes, tin whistle, fiddle and anyone else I can round up that would make sense. I've spent all my time practicing my tune in the same key as your "Out On The Ocean" jig but I fear I may have messed up. I've just now discovered your tune is in the key of G. I was distracted by all the D's in DADGAD and was thinking I've been in D this whole time. I would LOVE to stay in G because of the cool bright sound. I have a humble tin whistle in D (a family member picked it up for me years ago in Ireland) and I've been learning it a little for this tune as well but it's obviously now in the wrong key too. I've learned there are whistles in G but can Uilleann pipes easily play in Gmaj? If not, I guess I can pull off the capo and play in D if I had to but the song sounds much less bright and cheery. I'm a full time recording engineer and most likely I'll be hiring a few musicians from a local Irish band to help play this for me so I can record it, but I'm just really worried about what the Uilleann pipes can accommodate. What would you suggest? I guess I could call the piper in the group but if you're willing I'd love YOUR thoughts on what the best key would be for a jig that includes at least Uilleann pipes, and tin whistle on melody. (ps, I discovered you on a social media short (on Saturday) describing DADGAD chords and strumming. I had never used it and I'm hooked. It's exactly what I've been looking for and didn't realize it was a thing. I've watched a lot more of your content and have actually spent about 6 hours(!) practicing this new tuning and strumming. (down, up, down, down, up 😁) even as I drive around in the car or walk my dog. I'm starting to get it but I'm still SO slow compared to where I need to be. My fingers are killing me. You're a great teacher. Thanks! Alex Jenkins
Glad you found the channel Wilwaren. If there's anything in particular that you'd like to see covered just let me know, I'll try my best to get it done or point you in the right direction. Cheers.
Thanks, I'm very glad to hear you're finding the lessons helpful. That's a great tune suggestion. I only recently played that in a session and it has some nice changes. I'll stick it on the to do list and try to get around to it 👍🎸
Love the videos. Great help. I've been gigging for years in dadgad. Can I ask you. I've never found a good solid way of playing E or C without using a capo. Have you any suggestions? Cheers
Hi Aodàn, it's not quite the right place to ask here since you're playing in G but do you have an example of a jig or reel played in B minor? In DADGAD, I put the capo on the 9nth fret but I wondered how you would do it. Thx, Dany
Hi Dany, I play B minor without the capo usually. I'll have to put a video together to teach how as I haven't get got around to it. But the general gist is to work off of the mid Bm shape - 9X9790 or the low version 9997XX. Then I'd use a moving bass line to suit the tune by working around the chords in the key of Bm (Bm, C#dim, D, Em, F#m, G & A). Sorry I can't point you to an exact video tutorial yet.
Hi Àodhan great stuff. I've just sent away for a Paige click capo. Have you any experience of them. You have other videos of a closed capo on the neck of your guitar what make was it? Thanks.
Hi Brian, no I haven't tried that Paige capo. It looks solid. Let me know how you get on with it. I wouldn't mind checking it out. I use a Quick Draw Capo for tunes and changing keys quickly, and I use a Kyser Capo for songs. Here are the three videos I have on capos - Kyser capo trick: ua-cam.com/video/MV4FVDx_IoI/v-deo.html Kyser cut capo: ua-cam.com/video/jWKCwJ9YPVk/v-deo.html Quick draw capo: ua-cam.com/video/YwWePqC4RoY/v-deo.html
@@aodancoynemusic Paige is good and guitar is in tune right up the neck. Even pressure all round. I'd say the Quick Draw is quicker for accompanying tunes.
Loved it, your explanation is very accessible
These videos are by far the best i have seen on youtube on dadgad accompaniment. I hope you do many more!
I very much appreciate the kind comment Lucas. More tutorials to come shortly 🎸👍
It’s so simple. And yet no one knows this. It seems. Not everyone can do it. Irish know this exercise ❤
Ya the double-down jig strum is great. It's just a case of getting the muscle memory locked in and it's easy sailing from there 👌🎸
Always lovely when you boys play together! Thank you!, love this!
Thanks Annie! 😊
Another great tutorial! Thank you for putting all these up on UA-cam.
Thanks for the kind comment John. I'm glad you're enjoying the tutorials 👍
Thanks a million for this and all the videos you're uploading, this is amazing stuff for learning, great job!!
Very glad that you find it helpful 😁 Of there's anything in particular that you'd like to see covered on the channel just let me known and I'll try my best.
First time ever commenting on a youtube video. Well done. Straightforward and effective, Great stuff
Thanks a million Gerrard, I'm glad you found it helpful 👍 I appreciate the kind comment 🎸
thx Aodàn, one of my favorites too. Nice approach! Great right hand technique.
Cheers Dany 😃
Great lesson and lovely tune, thanks.
Glad you like it David! Cheers 👍🎶
Thank you so much for this lesson, this is my favorite one. I really like how the chords complement the tune.Ciao da Milano (Marco)
Glad you like it Marco! 🎸
An actually decent dadgad channel! Whats the make/ model of the guitar you're playing in the session tempo bit (the darker one)?
Hi Bec, glad you like the channel. In that section of the video I'm playing a Martin 000-15S. It's actually my wife's guitar! It plays and sounds great, defo worth checking out 👍
This one was super helpful. Thanks! That lick with the pull-off is really versatile-I noticed you use it in your video on the Old Favorite too…
Glad you find it helpful Tim. Yes I tend use that pull-off lick in quite a few tunes. Nicely spotted 👌🏻🎸
Great session tune
Ya it's a very nice tune 👍
So great!
Cheers 😊🎸
