PLANXTY IRWIN - by Turlough O'Carolan

[owlet1963]

Just for the fun... I tried to play this like you do here, it has been ages since I tried to play Planxty Irwin ! Playing like you do was a total but hilarious desaster!! When I listen to your play, it makes my guitar playing sounds like a kid playing twinkle twinkle little star compared to it. That is why playing on the streets and in undergrounds was cool, most people do not necessarily stop to listen , haha. No, I'm joking,

[lucabez]

Hi Nathalie,

many thanks again!...

This tune is not technically difficult, but must be played in the right way!...you must feel what there is behind it!...

All the best to you, my dear "guitarist underground"... ahaha!...

lol,

This tune is not technically difficult,but must be played in the right way!<---- Well, obviously ! :) My memory fails on how I used to play it.."you must feel what there is behind it" he says. I DID feel what was behind it alright!! My fingers are hurting and so is my ego,HA! :) I think I will leave it to the "pro" ( that would be you) until further notice! By the way, was that you who explained the meaning of the word "planxty"? , I did not know that, no one could tell me what it meant!

[lucabez]

Sorry Nathalie,

I did not want to be consider, but simply say that these Irish music tunes inspire feelings of those who sounds and who listen them...

Best regards,

luca

[owlet1963]

Oh, there is no need to apologise, Luca! I was just teasing you about your comment, if it came accross differently than I intended, it was not meant that way. It always makes me laugh when someone tells me, " that piece of music is easy to play" because that normally means I will struggle with it, he he. Don't worry about my hurt ego , that was a (bad) joke. :) The fingertips hurt, but that means that I don't practice enough.Only one remedy for that!

[owlet1963]

That's it! You did it! I will definitely subscribe ! Irish instrumentals and celtic music definitely are my favorites, let me tell you that this was THE nicest rendition of this beautiful piece of music I ever heard from someone NOT irish . I have been roaming through several of your postings and I am very much impressed! Chapeau, as the French say! :)

[lucabez]

Thank you very much for your kind and friendly comment!... I'm realyy pleased for it!...

My best wishes,

luca

[acousticland]

[lucabez]

It was a good idea to sign up for your videos as otherwise I would have missed your new clip. Very nice, really, and just what I needed on a gloomy day. I look forward to your next piece.

[lucabez]

Hi Matthias,

I'm pleased that you like my music in your gloomy day... I hope that the sun could shine in your next days and in all your life... carry on!...

I wish you all the best,

It's always a great pleasure to listen to your music - every piece you play is flawless and you achieve a very beautiful sound in each one.

Hope you're doing well,

Richard

[lucabez]

Hi Richard,

nice to meet you!... Thank you very much for your kind words. for this O'Carolan's piece I play on my old Darco Guitar (of the 1984): I don't use any pick-up or amplification and this is just his acoustic sound...

All the best to you,

luca

Greetings from Norway

Amazing guitarplay. O'Carolan is one of the really special, and really worth playing. And as I have said before, you are a real master with your guitar.

Best regards.

Audun.

[lucabez]

Hi Audun,

it's nice to meet you!... you are too good with me, but O'Carolan's music is really special: so sweet and deep!...

Friendly,

luca

[StingerT125]

Wow, I really like your playing and sound. Your playing is very smooth and relaxed - wish I could play like that. I checked your other videos and enjoyed them all. Thank you for listening to mine.

[lucabez]

Hi,

thanks so much for your kind words. Your music for acoustic and electric guitar is just beautiful: I enjoy it!...

All the best,

luca

[onkelbuke]

sounds wonderful man. wow

[lucabez]

Hi Christopher,

I'm pleased that you like my guitar's sound... maybe because it is not a so young guitar, it's "born" in 1983!...

Best regards,

luca

[ilovemaniototo]

Sono proprio d'accordo con Pete, Luca! Tu non finisci mai di stupirmi per la tua bravura!! Bellissimo pezzo e outstanding interpretazione! **********

[lucabez]

Ciao Antonella,

come ringraziarti per la tua preziosa amicizia e vicinanza!?.... Sono molto contento che questo pezzo possa piacerti: è una delle più classiche e dolci ballate irlandesi, con la firma di O'Carolan!... ho voluto suonarlo con la mia vecchia chitarra del 1984, a cui la voce non manca!...

Un caro saluto ed a presto,

luca

[dani5nc]
