Hey guys! You guessed it, this video is all about the tune "Frost is All Over". It's a catchy jig in D major, that actually has some fun words as well! We will learn the tune bit by bit using our ear and voice. Grab your instrument and dive right in! Let me know what you think about this lovely frosty tune :)
LOVE this amazing counterpoint stuff but could you also PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE do some lessons on bouzouki chordal backing for Irish this and other Irish tunes with your lovely moving basslines!
Fantastic playing! Did you also do the arrangement?
Yes! Thank you :)
A brilliant lesson great teaching
Really enjoyed that, thank you very much! Just wondering, but how did you choose the notes for accompaniment when you overdubbed a second part in the beginning of the lesson? Is that just a process of finding harmonic notes that are pleasing to you, or is there a more strict structure to your harmonic decision making? Thanks again, love the video.
Very few strict rules, but lots of guidelines. If you can find my video titled How to Play Irish Bouzouki Counterpoint (Jimmy wards) that'll be a good intro.
Great! Keep up the excellent work! @@KevinElamMusic
Brilliant lesson! Are you playing this in EADG or GDAD?
GDAD! Cheers

I like this, Kevin.
I didn't write the original melody but I did compose the harmony part!
Hello Kevin,
first thank you so much for your Videos, I am learning a lot :) It's not easy to find good Bouzuki lessons ^^
I really like that lovely harmony-part you created here. Is there any chance to get a tablature for this ?
Greetings from germany :)
I haven't created tablature yet but I do have many similar lessons at patreon.com/kevinelammusic!
Hi Kevin..lovely playing! Can I ask what kind of picks you use? Cheers!
hmmm, I honestly do not pay attention to which picks I use (and don't know what I was using in this video...) However, after perusing my pick-stash in my wallet right now, it would seem that I mostly use .88 Tortex, .73 or .88 Nylon, or Fender Heavy picks for zouk playing.
@@KevinElamMusic Hey..thanks for replying. Yeah, I'm just starting on the zouk and I seem to be gravitating towards .73 nylon and tortex too. For some things the tortex just seems to "grip" the strings a little better and has more definition. Thanks again!
What instrument are you playing?
It's an octave mandolin! Tuned & played exactly like an Irish bouzouki.
