Riverdance Irish Lament on Harmonica! (Caoineadh Cu Chulainn)

[AquilaStargazer39]

That was beautiful mate. Is the Harmonica easy to play / learn?

[GreyOwlPhotoart]

@AquilaStargazer39 Thanks a lot! It's easy to get a sound, play chords and stuff but not so easy to play clear single notes and quite difficult to get that nice bluesy sound where you have to learn how to 'bend notes'. Having said that some folk can pick it up pretty quick.

Nice really really nice. Dont know if your Irish or not but you should be.

@Emerald007007 Thanks a lot and yes, well 50% anyway - does that count ? ☺

[TheSkoot1234]

That was outstanding GreyOwl!

[Bochis68]

Thanks my man!!! I am a huge fan of "lament" keep it going....Cheers!!!

[apoorvabhatt60]

Superb play

[DontForgetHistory]

Wow, Grey, that is fantastic!!!!! I never thought of using a harp for this tune! You NAILED it! After hearing Spillane's version I couldn't imagine another way to communicate the true feeling behind this Lament, but you did it. It always makes me picture a person who learned of a loved one's death, not being present for it, but shocked and suddenly empty inside, utterly alone, and, curiously, thinking of the broken promise they made to return. I can hear you across some city...

[GreyOwlPhotoart]

@DontForgetHistory Thanks so much. I find this lament beautiful, tragic, yet at moments uplifting, hinting at something indescribably wonderful beyond the pain.

[SuperDaveylad]

wo, your fantastic owl, im just blown away by your sounds, sends shivers down my spine, keep up those tunes your the greatest i ever heard !!

[GreyOwlPhotoart]

@SuperDaveylad Thanks for your very generous comment!

[Superhamsterofdoom]

If you don't mind me asking - What are those Tombo harps like?

I've been meaning to try them out myself

[GreyOwlPhotoart]

HaHa You spotted the cap!! Thanks for the kind comment, it is a lovely song to play and I wish you luck. Just added 'Angel' by Sarah McLachlan and 'I can't make you love me' by Bonnie Raitt to my Channel btw. ♫G®€Ÿ ØWℓ♫

Great! Thank you for posting this as a video response!

Sir that was simply amazing. Other than volume and size, nothing from the sound was lost in translation. You've inspired me

[ttocsify]

paul, is that you?maybe i'll write more when the chill bumps go down

[3lvitor]

This was beautiful !!!!

there's no words to describe the feeling. I played it along the Davy Spillane's performance and there is no error. Same thing but a little faster. It gave me the chills man!!!!
