Lament for Eoghan Rua O'Neill - Fingerstyle Guitar

[0ldfinger]

Another beauty Jim. This is gorgeous, so sad. Your neighbours are lucky to get to hear this for free! Brill - you make it look effortless; I know it isn't!

[jimguitarfan]

@0ldfinger Hey Martin, not sure it's fair to subject anybody to the many hours of irritating practice that goes along with this - I remember having a few lessons once from a guitar teacher whose wife insisted that we could only play an electric guitar which was fed to headphones so that she didn't have to suffer for our art :o) Cheers, bud.

[amccann7]

Jim, i also have played this song for years. Your interpretation is such a class act. Bravo, my friend!

[jimguitarfan]

@amccann7 I'm really touched by your lovely comments on my performances,Amy ! With material and arrangements of this quality, I've got a good start, I'd have to admit. Speak with you soon, buddy :o)

[0fmase]

Very nice Jim. I like both your performance, music and pics. Ireland is certainly a very pretty Country, It is in my trip plans.

Thank for your coment of " o boêmio". inadvertently i remove your coment, but the answer is there. Thanks.

[jimguitarfan]

@0fmase Thanks, Maura ! My next video is a traditional Scottish tune, which I hope you'll also enjoy. I'm quite proud of the photographs, so I'm glad you liked them.

Best Regards, Jim

Glad I discoverd this pearl on your channel Jim.

I love these Irish tunes a lot and you played this one very well.

Also the pictures are beautiful. I think I should travel to Ireland one day...

Best wishes - Sabine

@SabMei1 Hi Sabine, and thanks for the very kind comment ! I'm glad you liked the pictures of my country also. Ireland is a land with a lot of open spaces, as you can see :o) I've just finished digitising a lot of older holiday pictures, so more to follow on future videos, hopefully. Cheers for now, Jim

@jimijames1970 I really appreciate your kind remarks, and glad you enjoyed the video ! Regards, Jim

[GaryOguitar]

Very nice Jim. Thank you for this!

[jimguitarfan]

@GaryOguitar Thanks for the visit, as always, Gary. I'm glad you enjoyed the John Renbourn arrangement and the pics from the auld country :o) Cheers, Jim

[GaryOguitar]

@GaryOguitar

Enjoyed the whole offering!

[hyperboreal]

That first picture looks like something some Turner/Constable/Friedrich could have painted. I enjoyed the pictures and the sound of your Martin.

[jimguitarfan]

@hyperboreal Hey Alex, I don't know about the artist thing on the first picture. I think it's Donegal, anyway !. Most are from lovely County Mayo and County Sligo. Glad you enjoyed the music and pictures. The Martin is a (1990) 000-16 mahogany/spruce, so it's nicely mellow now. Thanks for the compliments, sir !

[hyperboreal]

@jimguitarfan

That's great, you have to love that Martin! Thanks for the info Jim.

[jimguitarfan]

@buniluvr Hey Julie, I'll have an ego the size of a house with your

lovely comments ! You're right.....EVERYBODY needs a holiday in Ireland at least once ! If you get there, there's a pub overlooking the bay in North County Mayo.......regular music "sessions" very late at night - so bring that geetar and plenty of caffeine :o)

Cheers,

JIm

[sguitar]

@sguitar Hi Sara. It's always so nice to see you here ! I'm glad you liked my pictures and the tune also. Immer bist du sehr freundlich . I really enjoy putting these vids together now, but I don't have a lot of pictures left :o) I will be on holiday very soon, so will have "viel arbeit zu machen" with the camera ! Herzliche grussen and a hug from Scotland to Germany :o) Jim

[Mr5stevenr]

Very good upload, Jim. Your guitar sounds immaculate, and I really liked the photos. The Irish countryside would be a great place to holiday in, I reckon. Steve.

[jimguitarfan]

@Mr5stevenr Hiya Steve. Thanks for the great comment ! Glad you like the sound quality, as I've worked hard at improving my setup without breaking the bank...

I'm biased about Ireland, as it's my home country: but I think it's pretty special....as long as you don't mind "changeable" weather ! Regards, Jim

[porsche217]

Hi James,

this is such a beautiful tune and your performance appears to be perfect! Very well done indeed!
