Fernando Barroso - Accompanying in 4/4 - Tam Lin/The Glasgow Reel

In this video Fernando shows several possibilities to accompany the Reel Tam Lin. It's all about the right hand. Very interesting video! He starts with accents in different places and moves on to things like dampening and arpeggio. 

By the way, check out his album on spotify and his channel on youtube.
