[IlBardus]

Hey'argh!

I Think that's way better on the mandolin.

I feel the green'irish blood running in your veins, son!

[7613418]

[GPXgirl]

[cheeseman4444]

not a hard song to learn just a bit tough to play fast

[Jokerz2012]

Good job!!

[LongLiveRock105]

Oh man that's good. There are just a couple notes at the end of every phrase that need to be fixed. Almost there. But the rest is absolutely epic!

[mouffette000]

I'm curious, is the banjo usually played with a pic?

[TheJohn101293]

@mouffette000 well this isnt a banjo its a mandolin . . but it has the same tuning as a tenor banjo which is whats used in the song i think . . but yeah a pick is used for a tenor banjo but not realy for your bluegrass 5-string banjo.

[TPHxKIRA]

respect man your no joke u have talent!!

[cannotwaittograduate]

That's fantastic.  I'm very jealous of your skills!! Brilliant, man.

[MEGAIRONMETALHEAD]

[SuperZx6rr]

Tabs or it never happened

[TheDrago119]

GR8 GR8 GR8

[ECWOriginals777]

Woah, a Flogging Molly's fan playing a Dropkick Murphys music :P.

[FailsafeNY]

yea that is pretty ironic, I try to view both bands as the same because i hate to pick a favorite because they're both good.

[ECWOriginals777]

I agree.

DKM is more Punk than FM, but FM is more traditionnal than DKM.

But i like these bands.

[fewpoundcory]

last note is wrong at the end of every riff

[josephamathew]

grt one. made it look so easy...

[Kevin8698]

[linerider565]

[Lunatic187000]

[Jakeyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Respect!

[skott1090]

is what your playing a banjo or a mandlin im taking guitar lessons right now and i asked my teacher if he could teach banjo and he said yes so i dono what kind to get 5 string 4 string blue grass or open back i like the stuff like otis taylor the cover of black betty and this song which u played hella good any advise is good advice

[alyinbi]

so you want to play a banjo but don't know if my instrument in the video is a mandolin or a banjo...why don't you buy a violin???

read the video description first please.

[skott1090]

pretty much right after i sent that i knew and i was gonna delete it but thought what the hell maybe you wouldnt be an asshole about it but i was wrong

[alyinbi]

yes it seems so, sorry

[skott1090]

i just bought a banjo and the dude threw in a rogue mandolin with it lol were did you get the tabs or did you do it by ear

[alyinbi]

did it by ear..isn't as hard as it seems first. give it a try ;-)

[Kurzi92]

respect...

[AndrewDeLong]

To you...I bow.....teach me master...plllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaa­aassssseeeee!!!!!!!!

[Lillvirre1337]

omg .. i dont get it.

how the hell can people play these instrument!?

its realy hard :O

[NAFeva]

OK, your cover of this is good. You are a bit off with the tempo. And your ending notes are wrong. After the Arpeggiating fall riff. the last note you hit is wrong. It is a bit too. Like a half step/whol step too high.

[alyinbi]

i don't expect you to read every comment made on this video before, but you're at least the 20th person who tells me that....but you're as right as all the others so thank you for the comment

[thenuge9]

Responed if u think that the Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly should do an album together!

[alyinbi]

if that happens i would so freakin' vomit!

[Ouweviezerd]

me 2

[SchlemmerPizza]

thats great =) good job!

[trommesl4geren]

Last note is wrong.

[borrrriello]

agree

[rem11l]

dude you sucked at the begining

[kilts4u2]

Brilliant. . .

[knuccachen]

cool ^^

[Twom44]

where can i buy one of these here in the u.s.

[alyinbi]

a male mandolin player? uh...difficult...

[paulrulz147]

rofl pure wit and good playing skills, you shall go far.

[jackattack1022]

nice skills

[Runner077]

How much money do mandolins cost?

[alyinbi]

as every instrument...from 10 to 10.000

the one i play in the vid was a cheap one for about 200 euros

[bladesofgreed]

I have that exact mandolin. Got it on sale for $45.

[rocker577]

Do you know how many American dollars that is?

[jougetsu]

can you give me the tabs please ? those at ultimate guitar aren't even close to your's .

[alyinbi]

got no tabs, sorry

[Lecram1989]

ich komme gleich vorbei daniel :)

[Duffer750kz]

Dude i really would like the tab for this could you hook it up for me?

[dalepremier]

What is this Guitar Hero wanna be? What about 'Go Fuck Yourself'

Best line from 'The Departed'

[TheFnNatural]

nice flogging molly t

[DropkickMurphys12]

I didn't know King John ll liked Dropkick Murphy's!!!!!

[alyinbi]

who's King John II ??

[DropkickMurphys12]

You know in Mideval times, they Played Mandolins?

[alyinbi]

don't know Mideval times...but understand now what you meant

[NateThaSkate]

Man your videos are always the sickest. You're one of the coolest people on youtube, that's for sure

[rocker577]

What do they play that part with in the real song.

[alyinbi]

the riff is either played with a 5-string banjo or a tenor banjo. not sure. but in any case a banjo. the chords in the chorus are played with guitars.

[tarlachmgc]

the banjo would be a tenor because thats what is used in traditional Irish music so i'd imagine thats what they would use

[danifeld]

that's remarkable. nicely done.

"There's Something So Feminine About A Mandolin"-Jimmy Buffett

[alyinbi]

well...liberty of opinion :D

[reonat]

hey great job

i figured out the picked part but what are the chords ?

[alyinbi]

D major, C major and G major in that order...just use the guitar chords ;-)

[reonat]

great thanks !

[mongolia1]

I HAVE TO KNOW THE NAME OF THIS SONG!!!! i was watching the departed the other day, and the song got stuck in my head...please tell me the name!!

btw, awesome skills bro

[alyinbi]

uhm...maybe...well...it's just an idea...but maybe you should look at the title of the video...but I'm not sure if that helps....give it a try

[mongolia1]

hahahahaha, yeah i realized after i posted the comment that the title says it all and i made a complete fool of myself. oh well...live and learn

[corndog755]

the title lies hahahah jk

[alandublin26]

What a song......5*

[GibsonMan31]

pretty good

[TheRealMcCoy80]

great job- but that last note should be a 2 instead of 3 i think

[jamesgdavies2]

one word...

bloody excellent.

oh wait that's two.

[rishib1988]

i like ur t-shirt

[BurgerKing998]

[Marty783]

[akaranta]

[dpecorellasmarritad]

WOW!!!!

[abhishekaiyar]

amazing zing zing zing. that was an awesome vid. thanks. enjoyed watching you play.

[Metalzombie94]

you're ending on the wrong note

[alyinbi]

as mentioned 10.000 times before...but you're right

[Fir3fox1234]

sick!

[rutlandplace]

Fair play 2 Yeh.Gow won yeh boyyeh

[alyinbi]

cool, i didn't understand a word =)

[barnetbloobird]

Hmm let me see if I can remember the Scottish I learn't in School

'Good on you boyo'

[alyinbi]

ok, that's better for me^^ thank you!

[willvmurdaugh]

that's pretty freaking nasty.

how long have you been playing the mandolin?

[alyinbi]

half a year when i made the video

[catchfree84]

that was the shit

[kifn2]

i'm loving this. this will be the second song after oh sussana that i learn on the mando. this song works because it's perfect balance between delicate sounds and punk.

[love2youxxx]

well done enjoyed much bril.  ex

[TehGuitarMan]

Definition of hardcore.

[alyinbi]

thanks man ;-)

[shakethenbaketr]

that was badass

[danymatrix0007]

nice man, nice :D ... make a vid with how you play the song ;)

[welldang4]

cheers mate good job i would appreciate a link to tabs or a post very much

[haka2]

i've learned the begining part by watching this video but i'm stuck at one part, if you have it in tabs can you send it to me? that would be great

[1337punx0r]

Ah, sorry! My mistake. Didn't notice that, just wanted you to know in order to let you play it 100% :)

[1337punx0r]

Nicely played, with few mistakes!

The last note of the riff is wrong, though. It's supposed to be an E (2nd string, 2nd fret), not an F# (Same string, 4th fret).

[alyinbi]

thanks for your comment! of course i don't expect anyone to read all the comments made before his own but you're maybe the fourth guy who told me about that mistake...even if i realized it myself right after uploading^^

but that should not be a criticism, because you are simply right

[Littlerichboy12]

sweet!

[RobDeS]

really good bro! how much was your mandolin?

[zyldyks]

Very Nice!

[Cecy247]

i had an irish dance recitle to this!

[nishantmittal001]

man...its definately the most close and perfect cover on youtube of the song...CHEERS!!

[jbor613]

Incredible.

You wouldn't happen to have tabs for this, would you?

[carpinterow]

cara meu saco eh grande

[methalpa]

Impressive mate !

[powerfulnun]

5 stars from me!

[Andirwan]

Wow! nice! 5 stars! like it^^

[badtothebone4444]

awesommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmme

[RedRobin2010]

better than the bag pipe

[DmnHntr]

impressive.... most impressive. and wow canades..... thats kinda dumb on your part.

[UnknownBastard2007]

whoa man u rock, i picked one of these things up at the music store and was like "how the fuck do you play it"

[negativepink]

I like it, although the notes aren't completely right, but if it's your own rendition this is awesome. Great work... but if you are trying to do an exact cover, it just needs a bit of polishing. Picking is a bit hard but that doesn't really matter if you love playing it. I am looking forward to possibly seeing more of your work. Keep it up buddy :)

[jay1414]

nice

[RODGE1985]

That was great man keep it up great tone off that mondolin

[MesserundGabel]

ive got a mandolin-banjo which I hear are very hard to come by. its pretty old with no brand names on it. this is a great video, and it sounds kind of cool on my mandolanjo.

[canades123]

well, you have the right guitar but it could use some work

[alyinbi]

are you sure you know what you're talking about??

[JupitalKnight]

i know what Alyinbi is talking about, ot sure about canades.

He was playing pretty accurate.

I liked it ^_^

well done
