[txdurk]

Superb.

[DieHardThunderhead96]

[MetalWillDestroyYou]

Dude, I just popped 5 boners this time. Awesome shit!

[alasdairallan79]

Fantastic version!

[grafx5]

By far my favorite arrange I've heard of this tune to date. Props.

[greyhoundweltall]

any tabs? *drools*

[Jackinart]

I really like the harmonics.

[TheUnpluggedSessions]

Hi guys,

great version of my favourite tune, what its the bouzouki tuned to for this?

Cheers

[Fergyguitar]

Nice work guys. Try putting St. Anne's, Cooleys and the High Reel (n A major) together, it is a great combination. Guitar wise, have you thought about a semi open Am7 / Bm7 / C /D / Em progression. Works nicely on this and indeed on most Em based tunes. Ships are Sailing is another good one for it. Keep it up, hope we can get to jam some time.

[DoitliveFW]

Love the guitar work there. Well done.

[Sanjidub]

[cmcalorum]

I LOVE THIS TUNE!! Love your instrumentation.

[cassagnari]

Very nice !

[blauegitarre]

hey man,

do think you could share a tabbed or music-noted melody for the guitar? or where did you get it:

[frankiegang]

I really love this melody, and you guys play it as thought as you really were the ones that created it. Very well done...

[Mariosmash]

Perfect. well playing!

[Tinadora]

Is this @ a Waltons store? I wish we could do that in stores here in Portugal. No-one lets people play, how should they get interested?

[GIRaddicted]

[wrenagape]

*CLAP*CLAP*CLAP*

[viruspunk102]

fucking amazing man.....and that guy in the back distracts me

[slimpickensrx]

yeah, what's with that freaking guy in the background, how dare he, great job!

[Nibbietto84]

What are the chords that the guitar plays?

Em D Em D Bm (???) C (???) D Em

I have only two doubts....I can't understand watching the video... :(

Great version 10+ ^^

[andrenm2]

Actually, is

Em D Am Bm C D (repeat this sequence)

[willinance]

I love your version of this song!

It reminds me good old times passed in Dublin city centre :)

[mongorich]

[natruto]

[Marlisa333]

Wooh, really nice! :D

I love it!

[tanebadi]

Nice one dude..

I love this reel

[kidgloves2]

Thanks for the chords newfiefiddler. I have to learn more about harmony. I found the traditional chords. But your choices sound WAY better.

Here are the original:

em/em/D/D

em/em/D,G/D,em: x4

used for A&B sections.

[mongorich]

This is so cool. I haven't played guitar for over 30 years but this video made me pull out an old guitar out of the closet and (attempt to) strum along. Great rhythm. Good job also the picker and bodhran player.

[kidgloves2]

What are the original chords to this tune? And what are the substitutions used here? This version sounds so different. I'm just learning chords, so I can't figure it out.

Thanks.

[newfiefiddler]

I'm not sure of the original chording for this piece.... straight up it could be played with simply Em and D but doing so does not compliment it in the best manner..... another YouTuber suggested I substitute the Am with Cm7.... I play it using Em D Am Bm C D

[smitsorama]

@kidgloves2 try traditionalmusic.co.uk (not mine!!)

[psuedosurfer]

Ya Got me jumpin in with ma feadog D fellaz,

Way cool `Ceol' ya got there.....

[sheilamaclean]

[newfiefubu]

great job! btw it gave me cold shivers!

[a793]

awesome...

[mongorich]

great job. other people in the store look they like it too, but they are afraid you're going to put a tip jar out or something. (don't make eye contact!)

[newfiefiddler]

haha, it always draws a crowd!

[BlackLightVisions]

Hey Guys,

well done. I love this one. It's an often played. Anyway it's one of the best. I like the riffs at the guitar with the a-minor and the h-minor. It gives a very good sound and makes it mor complete and richer.

It's not the often played e D C D-thing.Well done. Greetings from Germany.

[newfiefiddler]

Thank you so kindly! i like playing around with the chording of traditional songs to keep them fresh!!

[3959508]

That's very very Good!;)

[fibbafox]

Fantastic- thank you! One of the most enjoyable performances on Youtube. Regards from Kev in Cornwall

[seaufo]

wow! it's amazing. kick arse!

btw what's the music instrument on right? is it mandolin?

[brodie04]

its a bouzouki

[peryka666]

I love how your music slowly drew a crowd in the video - your music is awesome, as always :)

[ducky3d]

Fantastic!

The bodhran was VERY well played! Guitar was totally awesome! =]

[atrueelsewhere]

[dani5nc]

wonderful! I enjoyed your playing of this reel

[xheartwithaslash]

i love how ur randomly in a store lol

[catuvellauni1]

Love it! Are you in a music shop?

[DonGordeeto]

I bet they are cause look in the backround: there's a guitar and a keyboard and I'd say the coloured things on the far left of the screen are strings and things.

Am I right?

[newfiefiddler]

Yeah, a friend of mine runs the place.

[guitarabrsm]

this rocks!  nice

[kingofkards91]

I love Cooley's Reel. Cool bodhron by the way.

[Swanfleet]

brilliant, I loved it! I was dancing in my chair :D

[chansherly212]

really nice, i like playing along with this video

[newfiefiddler]

Hi folks! During the past few hours I have had to remove a handful of comments from this video. Doing so was not an attempt to somehow avoid constructive criticism as one young man suggested. I simply wanted to avoid a verbal war. Feel free to comment on any of my videos.

Cheers, newfiefiddler

[thomasb90]

one of my favorite reels....great job! --cheers

[timmol]

u should be plyin cmaj7 instead of dat Am kid

[timmol]

or playin even

[ftnchrislol]

timmol, nothing about irish trad is written in stone. maybe the correct comment would have been "hey, an alternative chord to the Am you play is Cmaj7, and let me tell you..i like how it sounds just swell!".

I once had a decently long discussion about the different chords you can use for the song the butterfly. I was able to have that conversation because no where does it say "here are the definitive chords for the butterfly, now and forever more"

[BardofCornwall]

Lovely.

[lpsxg]

Awesome...just... Awesome.

I tip my hat to you fellows, keep up the good work!!!

[Hogie506]

Amazing... absolutely amazing!

I'd be better playing this on bouzouki, but out out curiosity wat sort of tuning is that guitar in? Standard or DADGAD? Mayb sumtin difernt?

Anyway, absolutey amazing!

[newfiefiddler]

Thanks! The guitar is in standard tuning: Em, D, Am, Bm, C, D, Em

[rhodacreekboys]

very good guys!

[napoleonbXX]

i really wish i had been there. That was awsome.

[Vashthestampedety]

that was cool

[GryffindorIrishGirl]

Wow, that was some awesome playing! You really caught the attention of the shoppers in the back round. LOL! Great job!

[laurytanty89]

W o W

really really goooood!!!

[Anraziel]

You guys are awesome. Maritimes rule.

A good farewell from New-Brunswick.

[CrazedPyro27]

where at in NB?

[ijebusjebus]

holy crap, that was awesome!

[doogiesoprani]

well played stopped those shoppers in the background in their tracks

[waynedaun]

just wondering where yee fellars from? good tunes and good job

[fulsomstryk]

I play the reel "Heaton Chapel" to this one while I watch it on my tin whistle. It sounds cool! :-)

[Tevyk]

Nice work fellas.

[martinmcmutrie]

Really great, guys. Much enjoying playing along with it on low whistle, tearing it - short of air, like a sled vareering downhill! Cheers.

[InspectedBy19]

Wow guys, nice job, I love just jamming like that. Check out the version my friend and I did:

youtube com/watch?v=_HNNu8x_ulA

[Lochbesda16]

One of my favorite videos. Really great job.

[folkambiance]

vraiment tres jolie version, vraiment chouette

[newfiefiddler]

Merci!

[hamrzlawnlake]

Ahhh, the onlookers make it all worthwhile. Nice tune! What type of Zouk is Steve playing, and where do i get one or similar?. Tks for the post.

[newfiefiddler]

Steve is playing a Trinity College - it's a popular bouzouki and you can get them most places traditional instruments are carried.

[speedosrock1053]

wtfuck that was great, haha. I love the peoples expression, shouldn;t they be playing heavy metal. bvalalah

[CelticHD]

It's impossible to not tap your foot to good wholesome music like this. Grand.

[thebullandrews]

love this tune well done lads that has to be the best music shop ever

[GREENHOFFS]

excellent playing lads

[EstelMcFields]

you should show more of the zouk

[odonovan]

its traditional celtic music and should not be simply over passed as folk

[Elidhan]

Great ! That's one of the best folk music video out there. Percussion is really awesome :) 5 stars.

[fulsomstryk]

What are you laughing about in the end?

[fulsomstryk]

Awesome!

[dingusass]

one of the best songs ive ever heard

[sirius711]

Amazing! keep me posted on the cd please!

[archiethughes]

This is fucking intense. Pretty epic stuff.

[probrewer]

Awesome playing, guys -- inspiring me to practice more on my octave mandolin!

[Kath666]

Thats very nice :O

[nd017]

Cant sit still... I love folkmusic-music, espesialy when the mussisions just sit there and all this full-on elixa of life just stampedes out between their fingures and screems around you. this is life. Thank you.

[1r1sh52]

God, that music takes me back! You guys have any plans to put some of this stuff on a CD maybe? I'd buy.

[newfiefiddler]

The idea of doing a CD is something we have been toying with. We'll let you know when there is one available!

[1r1sh52]

Thanks!

[sailorjerrytattoos]

nice!! I'm learning this Cooley's on the guitar...differently though, heehee

Bye!!

[MikeBatten]

Looks like you fellas had an Audience in that one haha, deadly tune!

[newfiefiddler]

Sometimes there are as many as a half a dozen people hanging around Del's Music. It's always good! Thanks!
