I recently updated my worksheet for building chords. Here's the new version. It contains positions of possible fingerings for most used chords. So you can figure out, where to put your fingers if you need a chord for a chord change.
For example: If you play a D (7400) and want to change to a nearby G chord you could choose (7500) or (7900) or maybe (7 9 10 0).
! There is a mistake in this list. It should be Bb Major, not minor! You don't need a BbMinor chord for the most common tunes.
I really love the playing of Macdara O'Faolain from the band Nuadan. Here is a video of Oisin Morrison on Flute and Macdara an Zouk.
I tried to figure out some of Macdara's accompaniment. I don't think it's really correct, but it helps a bit to understand what he is doing. I think the tune is called The Hills Of Larraga. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Here's another websites which helps to find chord shapes for bouzouki. Someone mentioned it on the Bouzouki Forum in Facebook. Thanks for the hint.
In the advanced section you can make some adjustments. Definitely worth a try when looking for variation of chords. http://www.chords.cc/irishbouzoukigdad
This time I tried to find out the accompaniment which Brendan O'Regan plays on the tune Paddy Ryan's Dream together with Matt Molloy. He starts at the repetition of the A-Part.
Here's the video I tabbed the accompaniment from. I cut off the first tune, the air black is the colour of my true love's hair.
It is always interesting in how many ways one tune can be accompanied. Inspired by this thought I listened to lots of recordings of one of my favourite tunes and wrote the chord combinations down. Out of these I chose the ones I liked the most and combined them on this worksheet.
The chord range stretches from two chord arrangements of Hayes/Cahill, which I really like, to more complex chord combinations.
Here's my worksheet. If you need a better quality contact me and I will send it via mail.
