gud job lads

[Mandolin1944]

Fantastic job -- well played! I really like seeing the guitar backup so clearly displayed-- a real treat! Backing up Celtic music has always seemed like a black art to me -- esp. when you watch someone like John Doyle -- you do the same style but you make it clear in your video -- BRAVO! 5 stars.

PS are you in Drop D (DADGBE) tuning here? Thanks!

[newfiefiddler]

Thanks for the comments. I'm in standard pitch and it's in the key of F, capo on the first fret.

[andyl666]

great, loved what you did on the guitar. really fits the tune

[TeineUaine]

Great version! I really like this combination of instruments for this tune and the flair you have given it!

[newfiefiddler]

Thanks

[ScotchIrishFool1]

The tune is great, and the accompaniment with that unique chord usage makes the version of the song. Wonderful. Ross USMC and I both think the song is great, and we love to play it together.

[newfiefiddler]

Thanks for the great comments!

[kallegu]

Very cool chord choice and unique strumming pattern on the guitar! It really gave this classic tune a little something extra. Nice job, guys!

You should put 3 or 4 Irish tunes together so it doesn't sound like a broken record. Sure would sound nice! You do a great job, you just need some variety.

we play "Tripping Up the Stairs" after this tune when we play out and about, they sound good together. You are right, playing tunes together do make it more interesting.

Cheers!

[RossUSMC]

[nader112389]

[barbkaus]

[aliofhearts]

No matter how sad i am.. i just listen to this style of music and at the end of the song im still tappin my foot and smiling! :)

thanks guys. love it

[G1lowwhistle]

Love this version lads. Good stuff.

[SillyWizard]

Thanks!

[balladeer4life]

Nice job dudes. I like what you've done with BOYS.

[Rickupinoft]

Godd stuff. I see you played it lower than usual (C# I think) as opposed to the original key of D. It gives the tune a whole different shape.

[newfiefiddler]

We play it in F using an E formation and play with modified E formations up the fret board. Rich is playing a new F-Bb-Eb Hohner. This is the first time we have played the tune in this fashion and we liked it so much we posted it. Thanks for the comment!

[SillyWizard]

If that don't get your foot tappin you must be dead! :)
