Irish Reel - Farewell To Ireland

[IrishySoccer]

It's pretty good, but make sure you add more of a beat at the beginning. It was hard to tell you were playing a reel at first. Just go with some strong down bows, and you'll have it nailed =)

[twysted73]

Ye did a great job boyo. It's traditionally the song played at a farewell party for someone leaving Ireland. But in America it became the last song played at Wakes. (irish funerals).

Had my foot tapping.

[luc137]

good!

[TheRiverRat00]

Sounds very good! A touch fast, perhaps, but good nonetheless. Keep up the good work.

[dansimmons21]

[dancerirish49]

[jeetkd]

Brilliant work!

[tradlad1010]

to start of ouch! very nice tune indeed however spoilt by the common mistakes, good use of ornimantation, however some flat notes and very sqeeky, not worth 5 stars in my opinion pehaps more practise and you will be worth maybe 5 stars? you have much potential! good luck in the future!

I THOUGHT A REEL WAS A DANCE???? wat is a reel jig and hornpipe areent they all dances??????? SOM1 HELP!!! LOL

[RandomNarwhal]

they are dance tunes. But the tunes are more famous than any specific dance that is set to them.

[Vaskis4life]

@4231qwertyuiop it is. In this case, a reel is the music that goes along to the dance, called reel or jig or hornpipe.

basically, all irish music is dancing music, unless it's a slow air.

[thediscoxdead]

Epic. I love it.

[VanyCelticMagic]

Despite my bigger experience in playing violin I wouldn't be able to play like you!! Congrats!!

[sbarr10]

What is it about an Irish reel or jig that is just magic?

[TwilightFalls]

You're a brilliant player, would you mind me asking, where did you get the music for that wonderful reel, or did you just pick it up?

[PaddyGonzalez]

Great playing. You'll be a master when you get to my age. Have you seen my vids? Cheers.

[outshore]

great technique neal ... I would find it very hard to play like that not having developed any recognisable style when I was younger.

best wishes for the future ....if I were your age I would be checking out a zeta jazz MIDI violin :)

andrew

[GUKLASMYD]

Out of my price range, im afraid. Anyway, I prefer traditional playing. I have got a 10 yr old Yamaha electric which I run thgrough effects for fun.

[rainee09]

Wow! You are really talented. Just keep playing, it really pays off! I'm a pianist and a flautist and when you get older all the hard work really pays off, awesome job, I'm a fan!
