Daoiri Farrell - 2 videos I took at a workshop weekend in Halle, Germany in 2011

I first met Daoiri in 2011 at a workshop weekend in Halle, Germany. This weekend was presented by the Halle Music School which was led at that time by Flute and Whistle player Alan Doherty.
In the first video Daoiri plays my Dreizehnter bouzouki. I asked him to play Paddy's green shamrock shore.



 The second video is a song I don't know the title of.

Helen Flaherty, Philip Mansour Live in Elmstein

A concert I filmed at Naturfreundehaus Elmstein. Philip plays some Songs on his Stevens 10 String Bouzouki, but most songs on DADGAD Guitar.

Andy Irvine Live at Club Kuckucksei in Nürtingen

On Nov, 10th 2018 Andy played at Club Kuckucksei in Nürtingen. I'm not sure if it was the fourth of fifth time he played there. Another fantastic evening of great songs and stories. I posted my video to youtube and hope you will enjoy it.

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.

Here are some more videos of the two I found on youtube:

Chord-melody playing for the Irish Bouzouki - Bob Gooday

Some time ago Bob Gooday published an ebook with the title Chord-melody playing for the Irish Bouzouki. It seems that I forgot to mention it here.

In this book he publishes arrangements for 8 Scottish and Irish Tunes for the Irish Bouzouki with Notation and Tab. You can buy it on Amazon for €2.99. That's a good price for value. Unfortunately there are no accompanying Audio Files or Midi Files, so you can't have a listen to what it should sound like. I asked Bob if he could record the tunes and put them on youtube, but it seems he does not have the time to do so.

Now I began to put the tab of one of the tunes (No 3: A Glass of Beer) into Tabledit so that I can listen to it.
If you are interested in the file send me an Email and I will send it to you as Tabledit or midi-file.
I will try to put the other tunes into Tabledit as well.
