How I love Robin's lessons. Here's the latest: Beeswing by Richard Thompson. As always part 1 is free. You can buy part 2 from his website.
Here's a different approach on the bouzouki. I shot this video about 20 years ago at a workshop weekend in Bonn, Germany. Michael Lempelius on his Sobell bouzouki.
This is a live version of Michael together with Sabrina Palm I recorded at Fiddlers Pub in Bonn, Germany.
And another version by Andy Clarke on his Sobell.
And here is another Lesson from Robin Jones. A reel called MacArthur Road. This is part 1. You can buy part 2 from his website. You also can subscribe to get full content of his lessons which is a new feature. If Robin will still present one lesson per week this might be really worth it.
He offers three plans:
Folk Patron which costs £10/month
Folk Hero which costs £20/month
Folk Legend which costs £30/month
As a Folk Patron you have access to all paid lessons for free. As Folk Hero and Folk Legend you also can send monthly or fortnightly videos of your progress and receive a personalized video reply with detailed feedback.
Robin's latest lesson deals with Willie Coleman's Jig. Learn to play the melody together with ornamentations. Part 1 is free, you can purchase part 2 here.
I really like these lessons Robin publishes on youtube. Here's his latest one. He shows how to play Caledonia on the bouzouki. Part 1 is really basic. If you want part 2 you have to buy it from his website, which is really worth the money. You can get it here.
Robin is extremely busy at the moment. Here's his latest video lesson in which he shows how to play the Shaskeen Jig. This is part 1, you can buy part 2 from his website.
Robin is very busy producing Bouzouki lessons. They are well made and so useful. I love his way of teaching. Cannont recommend it enough. Check it out and buy part 2.
Here's the link to his youtube channel where you'll find more fantastic lessons.
Here's the tab I made:
Robin Jones released a new tutorial video on youtube. Part 1 is free, you can buy part 2 for just 10 pounds which it is really worth. You get lots of tips and exercises which help you to play and accompany jigs. Even if you know how to play jigs I think you can learn a lot from these videos. Here's the link where you can buy part 2.
Lots of sessions in Ennis last week at the Fleadh Nua. This one's from Cruise's Bar.
On May 28, 2024 Fleadh Nua 50 Riches of Clare at a crowded St. Columba’s Church featured Kieran Hehir, Kieran Kissane, Vincent Fogarty & James Duddy. Fantastic concert! I posted it on youtube unlisted, so you'll only find it here!
Playing melody on the bouzouki. Kevin Elam teaches how to play the Sally Gardens.
