[Stoff3th3m4n]

You have great feeling when you play. This one is added to my favourites at this moment :)

[j4allen]

Sounds great! Where did you learn to play the bouzouki?

[StanMcLarsen]

@j4allen

It's actually an octave mandolin (made by Fylde). My dad taught me to play when I was 10 year´s old.

I do play bouzouki too . . . check out the St.Pat's video I just put in my favourites.

Cheers, Sean

[j4allen]

@StanMcLarsen

Ah they do look alike. Nice playing though!

I got a bouzouki myself last month, still learning to play it.

[PEIDanielScott]

Not a word of a lie. This recording made me jump up and dance. Well played, very well played.

[DickDallyThe3rd]

Howdy. Great video and playin. in an attempt to steal your idea, i am trying to figure out Imove, but i cant figure out how to get all the sounds to overlap. are you using a different program?

[StanMcLarsen]

@DickDallyThe3rd

I use Audacity - it's a free Studio package that is easily downlaodable from Sourceforge

[Goldie450]

Seriously good music,if you close you're eyes you'd swear you were in Galway Bay.

Very Well Done!

[TheCherokeeboy]

More please!

[TheCherokeeboy]

super cool. This is my 5th time listening already

[Gigilaughs]

I look up this video several times a month just to hear this tune. I had to sign up with youtube just to tell you what a great job you did with this jig. It lifts my spirits every time I hear it. Good Job!

[StanMcLarsen]

Thanks for the comments - I'm glad you like it. It's good to know my music passes my own test - if it lifts me (no easy task as you can see, lol) then it's made of the right stuff.

[MrBluegrassfiddler]

Wow. Excellent rendition and great job of mixing and producing the video.

[MrJackonthehighway]

Ganz fantastisch! Eine wahre Freude, Dich musizieren zu hören :) Ich hoffe nach wie vor auf neue Videos von dir.

[blackstarr5]

Oh! Love it, love it.

[Fishmonger1966]

Fantastic job! I'm impressed. :-)

[yojialjimbo]

this is THE BEST trad piece i have ever heard.

[madfortrad5958]

i agree yojialjimbo

its brilliant version

[LordWolfgaar]

Glorious! Is that an octave mando you're playing?

[LordWolfgaar]

(and where can I find some of the sheet music, chords, or tabs you play?)

[yojialjimbo]

@LordWolfgaar have u got an email address, i'll send u a whole book of sheet music (pdf) for irish trad music

[StanMcLarsen]

Yes, it is a Fylde OM. I don't use the dots much myself and never tab. But you can find this in Mally's 100 Essential Irish Session Tunes.  He has several books - all are great collections.

[SFungi]

Bloody brilliant!!!

A lovely clean performance with lots of spirit and rythm. Fair play to ya' - (and on all those instruments too.....my god!).

PS. I loved the video technique!

[dholeton]

Thanks Again Stan...Your Lilting Banshee is a great song with great mixing on the videos and instruments.

Dave

[RusRPGamer]

That is so great!!!!

[breffnipark]

excellent piece !!!

Keep at it !!!

Thanks.

[balloch]

Why do you play the mandolin right handed and the guitar left handed?

[ngroschen]

He doesn't—he mirrored the footage.

[balloch]

Aaah. Clever.

[fonnard]

[Kordarin]

Muito bom!! Fantástico!! Very good, congratulations friend!!

[philipfoxe]

lots of Irish jigs etc can sound really great slowed down like this.(but only when played with this kind of light touch!)

[shantysongs]

Wow! really real cool. One of my favorite tunes. You do it great!

[trebange]

Totally and utterly brilliant! It's inspired me to learn it. Post MORE! :-)

[SirRobinJR]

so viel langeweile will ich auch haben

[StanMcLarsen]

Hallo Robin, was genau meienen Sie? Glauben Sie das ich so langweilich bin? !!! :)

[StanMcLarsen]

ups! Falsch geschrieben - was meinen Sie !!

[SirRobinJR]

Damit meinte ich das ich leider nicht so viel Zeit, hab selber so ein aufwändiges Video zu schneiden.

[kitLars]

a very fun video. Terrific talent and love of what you're doing! Can you be sought for a booking?

[StanMcLarsen]

Hello Kit, thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, I don't get to play much Irish stuff these days - the videos were in some way a release.

[boxmusic90]

Great job Thats one i can play along to with the button accordion

[madfortrad5958]

i play the lilting banshee on me tenor banjo all the time, its one of my favourites,what a brilliant video u have here,im after playing along with ye a few times...

[StanMcLarsen]

Glad you enjoyed it !!

[cataldo123]

Thanks for this great moment, it's my favorite traditional air.

Greets from portugal

[jamiebanjo]

Very nice playing on all counts. Good idea in having your own backing tapes. For me it would help me with the timing etc.

[StanMcLarsen]

Thanks for the nice comments.

I use Audacity software to record. It is a free, downloadable, multitrack studio package. Give it a go - it's great fun.
