Southwind - Traditional Irish melody arranged by John Pell

[MsAndi63]

What a lovely piece of guitar music! I can imagine walking light hearted through a country garden, enjoying the flowers, bees and butterflies....

Great Irish tune!

Nice playing!!!! I just love this tune, you know where on internet I can come across the guitar sheet for free nor the tab.

@1111Danmaku Thanks! Sorry, I don't know where any would be on the internet other than buying the issue from Fingerstyle Guitar magazine's website.

[mgwhitehead]

Beautiful. Played along w/ mandolin and we sound great together!

[carlinsanders]

@mgwhitehead Wow, thanks! Too bad I wasn't there to hear it!

[planetside11]

Very beautiful, my friend. I was a student of John Pell's as well (some 30 years ago).

[timtak1]

Very beautiful.

Being utterly ignorant I looked up dropped D.. "Dropped D tuning is perhaps most widely used in heavy metal (as well as many other types of music)"

A charming piece and another excellent arrangement by John Pell (my former instructor from long ago). I added this one to my repertoire today thanks to your video. Would love to see more like this one from you.

Nice job! This is the piece that my wife walked down the aisle to. Same arrangement I believe as well.

[carlinsanders]

Ever since I first heard it I thought it would make a good wedding song - glad you liked it!

Beautiful. I have an old album of John Pell, Chet Atkins, John Knowles, & Leona Boyd playing together. It's awesome.

[musxlvr2]

Very nice! Its like a lullabye!

Not bad,Is this a steel strung guitar ?Glad to say the melody is coming through nicely. I think this is one of O'Carolans pieces.Try and keep it flowing a little more if you can. Keep up the good work and thanks for posting..

[carlinsanders]

No, this is a nylon string. I've tried it on a steel string, and I think the steel-string sound suits this song better. The hammer-ons and pull-offs are easier to get cleaner on a steel string as well. Thanks for your comments!

I'm learning a different version of the tune in DADGBD tuning. Can't play it yet. This is really lovely, well-played and I like the humble sound of the classical guitar. John Renbourn does a good job of the tune, with a wonderful bend at the right moment. Thanks for uploading it!

Nice playing, Carlin. I am trying to learn flatpicking and used this tune as a stepping stone. Very soothing. Thanks. Larry

[odie20000]

the way you play, Dune by Bob Evans will be a piece of cake for you. He told me that he initially wrote it as a lesson for his students to work on a few guitar "tricks."

[carlinsanders]

Thanks odie, I'm looking forward to working on Dune. I can always use a few more guitar "tricks" haha!
