Jig Rhythm lesson - Strumming Triplets

This one's for guitar, but as it is about right hand patterns it is useful for Zouk also. It is about strumming triplets in a Jig Rhythm. It takes some time to play it fluently, but it's worth the effort. By the way, Nye published a book about accompanying Irish Music. You can get it here:

Tijn Berends - The Sauna, Inches from Dublin

Here's another fantastic video from Tijn. So much drive in the right hand. He writes about this:

Here's a nice set of reels, played on my trusty harmonica and my shiny new Joe Foley bouzouki. The first tune is one I wrote myself last week called "The Sauna", inspired by a gig I had to play in a hellishly hot tent. The second one is called "Inches from Dublin", originally from Padraig Rynne (or so I'm told) but I play the version by uillean piper Michael Boere.

Darren Lynch - Bouzouki Lesson #3

Darren Lynch gives us another bouzouki lesson. In #3 he discusses G-Modal and explains some basic chords for accompaniment in G and Gminor.

Jon Doran and Janice Burns

Just came across the website of Shippey Mandolins and found some videos of Jon Doran and Janice Burns. Jon came to the workshop to collect his new bouzouki. What a beauty and good looking instrument. Both played some songs and tunes.
