This is lesson No. 2 how to play Pat Rainey by Brent Matusik. Great way to learn song accompaniment.
Here's a link to my page with chords and lyrics from 3 years ago:https://irish-bouzouki.blogspot.com/2020/04/daoiri-farrell-pat-rainey-chords.html
And here a link to my tab for the Intro:

This is a beautiful waltz written by Marcus Hernon. It is commonly played in lots of sessions. Here is a very easy tab to accompany this tune.
If you want the whole tab incl. B-Part just write me an email and comment.
This is how it could sound like.
I used a youtube video from Bryony Quainton, which you might use to play along
Eamon Coughlan posted a video how to accompany a reel in D. As example he uses the Merry Blacksmith. First you can learn the melody, he implemented a tab for the tune.
After that he shows examples for accompaniment.
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
What a wonderful version of the old Planxty classic. On vocals is Salla Rimmi. They are from Finland and play in a band called Greenrose Faire. You can find them on bandcamp:

Brett Matusik shows how to accompany the Creggan White Hare in the style of Daoiri Farrell.

Here's my page with lyrics and chordsHere's my humble attempt to tab the intro
Here's a wonderful house concert. Fiddle and bouzouki!
Here's some chord theory basics from Eamon Coughlan. He explains how chords are built and gives some tips for playing chords on the bouzouki.
Here are some bouzouki tutorials in Russian by Роман Стансков. Maybe it helps if you turn on translation. But tbh the translation into German is really shit.
Video about Arpeggios:
Video about strokes:
Left hand:
Simple chords and their reversals
Sound production:
Counterpoint and bourdons
Just found some bouzouki lessons on youtube by Роман Стансков. First you see him play, afterwards he plays the tunes slowly and you can see the tab. Some of the tunes sound somewhat medieval.
Here you'll find all of his videos: https://www.youtube.com/@stanskov1/videos
