Matt just released the second workshop in his Backer Corner series. Here he gives an overview of useful chords in the key of G.
I made a chord-chart with the app guitartoolkit (highly recommended) so it is easier to follow him.

Matt offers his first bouzouki tutorial. This one is about right hand technique. In this way he shares my opinion about accompanying tunes on the bouzouki. It sounds better if the bouzouki is played different from a guitar.

At the last Slow Session Matt and Shannon played the warmup jig first in G and then in A. It's a nice idea to change the key during a tune. Works very well for the Haunted House.
So far I avoided playing in A. I always used the capo on 2nd fret and played G-shapes. So I found it very interesting how Matt manages playing in A.
Here's the video: Jig starts at 2:45, Jig in A starts at 4:54.

This is the tab I made for the first round through the tune: Hope it is nearly correct. If you find any mistakes please let me know.
In the last bars of the tune (2nd round through) Matt uses a nice chord progression:
A, Bm, F#m, D, E, A
A: 2240
Bm: 4450
F#m: 6670
D: 7790
E: 99110
A: 2202
A new Slow Session from the Heatons last Sunday. The warmup Jig played on bouzouki. First in G, then in A. It's a nice idea to change the key during a tune. Works very well for the Haunted House. Here's the video: Jig starts at 2:45

Well, as Matt uses some interesting chords and rhythmic variations in the third round through I made a tab for it also. So here it is:
For all lovers of odd rhythms and modern Folk here's a relatively new band from Finland. Alex, a reader of my blog reminded me of them, many thanks for that. I once listened to their album when it came out but forgot about them. So I gave it another try. Fantastic musicians.

And here are some live videos. Some songs of the EP are on youtube as well.
