Pat Rainey Intro in the style of Daoiri Farrell - Lesson
Brent Matusik posted a new lesson on youtube. This time he shows how to play the intro of Daoiri Farrell's version of Pat Rainey.
It's three years ago I did a tab for the intro. You can find it here on my blog. I also posted chords for the song here.
It might be a good idea to check my older posts as well. You also could have a look at the keywords on the right.
Maybe you could look for Daoiri Farrell, Tabs for GDAD, Workshops or Lessons.
But there are lots of other things you might find interesting like Helpers, Right Hand, Finger Practice or just look for some great musicians like Andy Irvine, Eoin O'Neill, Donal Lunny etc.
And if you're looking for chords like most of the people that visit my blog (is this really so important for you guys?) look here. Chords or here Chord Charts

Whelan's Old Sow - Brid O'Gorman - Eoin O' Neill
A lovely Jig which reminds me of another Jig called Rolling Waves. Absolutely beautifully played by Brid and Eoin.
Here is my attempt to tab the accompanyment. Be careful, Eoin plays in ADAD but I tabbed it for GDAD. Upper line is melody from thesession.org, second line is bouzouki accompaniment.
If you want the tab in printable form just write me an email and comment.

Eoin O'Neill - The Laurel Tree - Tab
Some days ago I posted the tab for Martin Wynne's No 3. Then I posted The Pinche's Snuff, also called The Pinch of Snuff. Now it's the third tune in this set called "The Laurel Tree", sometime also called "The Laurel Bush".
This is my attempt to tab Eoin's accompaniment of The Laurel Tree

Martin Wynne’s No.3 Set - Tab - Eoin O'Neill
Last year Eoin O'Neill gave a workshop for Virtual O'Flaherty's Irish Music Retreat. In the evening there were concerts presented. This was one of the videos. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the fiddler. If you know him please write in the comments.
This is my attempt to tab Eoin's accompaniment of Martin Wynne's No.3. It works on ADAD and GDAD, Capo on 5th fret. The melody is underneath the accompaniment.

Eoin O'Neill - The Cliffs of Moher Tab
I really love Eoin's new CD, so I tried to tab his accompaniment of The Cliffs of Moher, a well known Jig. First, here's the link to the recording on bandcamp. Please consider buying the album if you like it.
https://eoinoneillinsession.bandcamp.com/track/the-cliffs-of-moher-edward-the-seventh
Here's a picture of my attempt to tab the arrangement. It is in GDAD, but if you play in ADAD there's no big difference. If you'll find any mistakes (I'm pretty sure you will ;-) please let me know.

The Road To Drumleman - Eoin O'Neill backing
While searching for songs which are backed by Eoin O'Neill on bouzouki I came across this lovely CD by singer Noirin Lynch.
https://nirinlynch.bandcamp.com/track/the-road-to-drumleman
I tried to tab the backing for the first verse to study Eoin's playing. Here is my humble attempt. It is for the tuning of ADAD. But as the A-string is rarely used it is also possible for GDAD with the exception of 2 notes in bars 13 and 16, it has to be 2nd fret on G-string which gives the needed A.

Down By The Sally Gardens - Eoin O'Neill Backing
Last October I took part in an online workshop with Eoin O'Neill. 9 video lessons, each around 20-30 minutes long he produced for the O'Flaherty retreat 2020. What an inspiration. Since then I play bouzouki in ADAD most of the times. It's much fun to back tunes in ADAD. But when singing I still use GDAD.
During that workshop he backed the singer Clara Buteler when singing "Down by the sally gardens". Now I tried to tab the accompaniment of the first verse. So here it is. Unfortunately I can't post the video here.
The Tab is for ADAD, but if you use GDAD it is nearly the same. Only one note is played on the low string, so you just have to play this D-Note on the 7th fret instead of the 5th fret which is notated for ADAD.

Eoin O'Neill - Bouzouki Online Workshop
Well, I'm a bit late with this information, but better late than never ...
Eoin O'Neill offers an online workshop for Bouzouki at the O'Flaherty's Retreat 2020. It runs from Out. 18th until Nov 8th, so it is already online. It cost 150$ and you'll get 9 Lessons each lasts around 25 - 30 minutes You can register here:
The online workshops are available until December, so enough time to learn from/with Eoin. I'm so happy to have the opportunity to learn the way Eoin plays. This might be the only good thing about Corona.
