Rocky Road to Dublin - Tribute to a Canadian Celt

[Xcharly2009]

I love it :-)

[gaylatem]

Listening to this one once won't do it. I brought a bodran home from Ireland but sure can't play it like you do. This one is way over the top! WoooHoooo!

[BlindStrings]

Répondre à cette vidéo... Well I'm not the one playing the bodhran, but I'm glad you enjoyed our mix.

[AjedrezEnEspanol]

way too badass.

Keep up the great work!

[BlindStrings]

@AjedrezEnEspanol Thank you!

[padanfain1986]

Hail from Hungary. That is one of the most greatest version. One of my friend shown this clip yesterday. Since, I always listen, and try to learn the lyrics. Thanks for this video.

[BlindStrings]

@padanfain1986 You're welcome, thank you!

[MichelleSeven]

I still can not understand how he manages to sing that long song, there are almost no breathers in the song =) Truly talented!

[quberman]

help me please if that possible. Wanna find video without guitar. its possible?

[BURniNgEyeS95]

@quberman this is without guitar

[grapp81]

[MichelleSeven]

wow! Such a beautiful voice!! =) And you play the bodhran very well!!

[BlindStrings]

@MichelleSeven Well this is not me as you can see, but BardofCarnwall. I only play the guitar and the violin.

[MichelleSeven]

@BlindStrings you play very good aswell! =)

[BonnieFionaMacleod]

EXCELLENT, PLEASE make some more !!!

[huffmaster4000]

[theliamofella]

[xDJC4x]

BRAVOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING NICE VOICE AND AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE

[brian97038]

good job..

[etk86]

this is absolutly grait. but it wood be even bether if the singer voice was more clear as whene all the instrument players got in to the video

[whatwouldyoulike1]

kickass version!

[BlindStrings]

@whatwouldyoulike1 Thanks, Raphi!

[Eakea]

how the heck did you get it all aligned? Surely they weren't playing at identical speeds?

[BlindStrings]

@Eakea Apart from Jesse singing, "they" are all me. I played different parts with Jesse in my earphones to keep the sync.

[Eakea]

@BlindStrings Oh great job! I thought you'd combined a bunch of youtube videos of the song.

[aleighaharber]

u have a beautiful voice

[butterfingermistress]

very awesome job!!

[BlindStrings]

@butterfingermistress Thanks!!

[hifhif123]

0:27 that first drum beat gets me everytime...

[1749229471]

This is epic man good work. keep it up I am going to start the penny whistle myself and I am a huge fan of all celtic music. 

[hifhif123]

What's the name of the instrument he's playing

[BlindStrings]

@hifhif123 a bodhran

[hifhif123]

@BlindStrings thanks, there's an amazing beat to it...

[naasfolk]

AMAZING

well done,i think Luke would have been proud if he saw this video

[BlindStrings]

@naasfolk Thank you! He said he liked. I am currently visiting Ireland, I'm starting my second week today. I'm leaving Killarney tomorrow and will be in Tuam (of course ;) ) then close to Sligo, before taking the Rocky Road. I'm having a great time!

[BlindStrings]

@naasfolk Oh by the way, I was speaking of Jesse, who sings. Luke Kelly, you mean? Wow...

[naasfolk]

@BlindStrings yeah i ment Luke Kelly

This is the best version iv heard since the orginal,i listen to it everyday

[BlindStrings]

@naasfolk Means so much! It is only now that I have the opportunity to hear live Irish traditional artists, they're so impressive.

[crexad1]

may i say you have an outstanding tallent. wish i could find a cd of yours somewhere you voice is amazing

[uncleshayne123]

love bardofcornwall alone but this is killer!

[BlindStrings]

@uncleshayne123 Thank you for letting me know! =)

[08154711n]

very cool

[melhunter]

This is BRILLIANT! Well done!!

[lamagamorgana]

well done :)

[TheBernas24]

Wow,very well done!I really enjoy it!I hope you upload more videos of this type cause i really like celtic music!Greetings...

[BlindStrings]

@TheBernas24 I have a lot of celtic music videos, help yourself! ;) Thank you.

[Foxer44]

He does NOT need any advertisement! He is the real thing.

[BlindStrings]

@Foxer44 an excellent musician, not just a thing.

[keikoandgilly]

Whether the man liked it or not (for reasons I do not know), music is something that should have no price....this performance...a mix of voice and strings...the purest essence....of heaven harmony....a beautiful thing to hear....something not generated by a bloody computer almost anyone can do.

Jolly good job to both you and Bradofcornwall.

[BlindStrings]

@keikoandgilly Wow... thank you! I'm uploading a video that is another approach of strings and voice, with another great Youtuber, I bet you'll love it...

[keikoandgilly]

@BlindStrings

Keep me posted mate and god speed. The rocky road to music is a tough one, but one who plays it for the sake of playing it, sounds more pure than one that seeks capital gain from it.

[xxxTeufelsweibxxx]

omg! that's awsome! i love it!

you have a great voice!

Are you irish? that's just wonderful!

[metalzimm]

sounds awesome..great job

[BlindStrings]

Thanks!

[Smyk52]

Good job!!! I enjoyed it. Sounds really nice :)

[BlindStrings]

Thank you!

[thasnaps]

nice mix, did bardofcornwall hear it? did you contact him?

[BlindStrings]

Thank you! Yes I did, and he said he liked the tribute, but any other attempt to contact him didn't succed. Take care!

[solomonkane123]

i think your video is great. im sure the bardofcornwall would be pleased with it, he is very musical and would appreciate your effort. sounded nice

[BlindStrings]

@solomonkane123 I fear not, but I deeply appreciate your comment, thank you and happy 2010! =)

[duirling]

go maith, an mhaith

[BlindStrings]

Thank you.

[IrishxGermanxChicka]

I wish I could play the bodhran.

I started learning about a year ago, but didn't really stay with it. I think I shall try again though. =)

[hellmonster666]

i loved the vid absolutely loved it but some of the timing was off around the parts where he'd rim shot

[BlindStrings]

I concur, thank you for your interest =).

[odins88erbe]

RESPEKT...schöne Grüße aus Deutschland

[BlindStrings]

Danke!

[ABSimo]

So Awesome!!! I love it!

I only wish the violins were louder and the quality of the vocals video was clearer.

[BlindStrings]

Thank you, and yes, much could be better. That's how memories are made, what you'd have done differently give them this living feeling =)

[ABSimo]

I was studying abroad recently, and on the night before I left I was fortunate enough to witness some musicians/students jamming. They had a violin, an ude, a flute, a vocalist, and two guitarists. They played The Rocky Road to Dublin. I am glad I remember the feelings that came with hearing it.  I only fear that no other non-impromptu version/performance will ever evoke the same feelings for me.

[BlindStrings]

Dead on. In a way, a Youtube video is a half-live performance, not totally like a record. I'm not sure you get what I mean then, but I know you perfectly understood my previous post.

[ABSimo]

For you, the arranger, it certainly is a live performance. You are able to see in real time the public's reaction to your creation.

[BlindStrings]

Indeed, I see your point. Now I just hope to share the feeling with you ;)

[BardOfNortonshire]

From one musician to another, excellent job.

I like the slow incorporation of the various instruments.

5/5.

[BlindStrings]

Thank you!

[codycolborne]

love it man sick mix ^^

[thebanshees]

[CptMosquito]

[codycolborne]

[MartynFolkSinger]

I love it! a great collaboration - well done both

[BlindStrings]

Thank you man!

[BlindStrings]

Hehe, this is nice, especially from a fan of this song!

[ASAngelo]

Absolutely fantastic! WELL DONE BOTH!

[BlindStrings]

Glad you liked this energetic version of Rocky Road, Autumn! Jesse perfectly plays the role of the engine in this collaboration - more of a tribute to him, as he says =).

[S4MW0LV3S]

Well done mate u have made my fave list keep it up !

[BlindStrings]

Thank you Sam! A lot to listen at the Bard of Cornwall's, don't forget to have a look!

[blueastcoast]

I love love love this music video sir, thank you so much for making it =D

Adding to my favorites for sure

[BlindStrings]

Hey, you should let Jesse know, after all he's the original artist of this record ;)

[lyannelune]

géniale :)

[BlindStrings]

Merci! =)

[eminem76]

I like Irish traditional music and riverdance...I´m Irish in my heart,hehe:)

[BlindStrings]

As I am... have you ever been there? It's magic...

[eminem76]

great,great,great...I like this very much,nice work

[BlindStrings]

I sometimes have comments from Croatia, it's always a pleasure =) Thank you!

[mettanc]

this music makes me feel i am in mid-evil times.

michael

[BlindStrings]

You just taught me how you say "Moyen-Âge" in English... in French, the adjective "Médiéval" referes the "Moyen-Âge", which could be translated by "Middle-Age" (yes, I thought of the same thing as you just did...).

This song was written during the 19th century, but the celtic origin brightly brings us back to the time you mention.

[countrysev]

J'adore cette collaboration!!!! Tu joues très bien du violon. Super cool,

Sev

[BlindStrings]

Merci Séverine, ça t'aura sûrement donné envie de jeter un oeil à la chaîne Jesse!

[powdergirl7]

Wow! I love the Bard and was skeptical about any 'additions' to his work, but you really did a nice job with it!! I am impressed. Love the strings!!

[BlindStrings]

This is a wonderful way to tell me you appreciated this video... Thank you very much and thanks for Jesse!

[jlbellan]

wow!! fantastic, my friend! It sounds kind medieval! I'm really interested in the "give me some love" project!! Let's do it! What do you want me to play/do?

[BlindStrings]

Thanks Jaderson!

As for Give Me Some Love, I think you should do what you feel like! I supposed you would want to play the piano in all cases, but feel free to choose your ways. =)

[Ethan2Rock]

Just awesome, congrats guys, very cooool.

[BlindStrings]

Hey Ethan, you're finding a lot of things very coool currently... or is just me who is so cool! ;). Seriously, thank you for passing by. I hope the &fmt=18 trick works for you, it's so... cool!

[Ethan2Rock]

Lets be honest, there's coooool everywhere if people just look around. LOL

[BlindStrings]

Well said...

[patricegoyaud]

You have a really nice voice, and a good feeling for celtic song.

Bravo

Patrice

[BlindStrings]

Jesse's version of Rocky Road is both very different and very true to the original song. I just had to play with the strings while listening to him. Thanks for passing by! =)

[justdobbs]

BTW, I've been watching the Bard for months: I quite concur about him

[justdobbs]

Tres bien fait, Guillaume. J'adore ce concept - je souhaite que j'avais pensé de lui premièrement

[BlindStrings]

I think I got it ;). Thanks for your interest!

[Folkyjo]

This is excellent!! Good job!!

[BlindStrings]

Thank you!

[vinm300]

I keep coming back to this.

It really is pretty good.

[BlindStrings]

Thank you man, enjoy as much as you can!

[FinnegansMobster]

totaly sweet. ive been following the bards stuff for a while and that just rocked.

[BlindStrings]

From a connoisseur of the Bard, that is a big compliment. Thank you Whistler... and I have a channel to check out... ;)

[princessblue923]

Such an awesome video... Canada - France!

Yeah, bring it babes!

[BlindStrings]

I have to say Canada's talents outstand many... Thank you! And don't play it too loud!

[GuitarGuruTeacher]

Vraiment très bon travail vidéo-musical de Blindstring, donne beaucoup d'énergie à la version du Barde! J'irai voir ses vidéos pour sûr!

[BlindStrings]

Et tu ne seras pas déçu! Merci Fred.

[DRALLIBER]

Super les gars c'est vraiment une réussite.Bravo.

[BlindStrings]

Si tu n'étais pas là pour apprécier, ça aurait déjà beaucoup moins de saveur, même si c'est une musique qui se joue pour le plaisir de l'entendre soi-même. Merci!

[BardofCornwall]

Hey Guillaume, thanks for the tribute/collaboration!

Cheers,

Jesse

[BlindStrings]

Yay Jesse, I wouldn't have been satisfied if you had the feeling the mood you wanted to create wasn't respected. I think I'm not done with this kind of activity... We'll see =)

[jsherlock95]

Fantastic stuff!! Many congrats to both of you!

5*

[BlindStrings]

Thank you, Irish couple! It means much to me.

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

We all just need to be in a good Irish pub with a pint of guinness or something watching this!!

Well done on following your creative urge with this Guillaume :)

[BlindStrings]

Thank you Jill. Is there any bad Irish pub anyway?

[jlayes8071]

Too bad you guys live on different sides of the pond...could be a great band...

[BlindStrings]

Why, o why did you have to colonize America? It's so cool right here :P Actually I'm planning to visit Quebec soon, so I'm not saying that seriously at all. Mind leaving Ontario for a few days? :P

[Erphilfarry]

Wow.. Ce vidéo est génial Guillaume. J'aime bien les ajoux graduels ça nous tient en écoute jusqu'à la fin.

Phil

[BlindStrings]

C'est vrai Phil, il y a tant à voir que l'une des difficultés est de tenir le spectateur sur la durée de toute la vidéo... 3:20 peuvent devenir une éternité, et effectivement, la progression est une idée que je retiens car elle marche souvent très bien... Merci pour ton commentaire!

[rhopen]

Ah, really great. Very well done. -Ron

[BlindStrings]

I knew you'd like it Ron, thanks!

[batboy62]

WOW! That was great!

[BlindStrings]

Thank you Brian! I was wondering where you were ;)

[KentonKrueger]

cool. i like this much.

[BlindStrings]

Thank you!

[Loiez]

Superbe! Attendez- moi j'arrive dans le jeu :-)

[BlindStrings]

Mais j'en jubile d'avance Loiez! J'espère juste que Bard sera d'accord, je ne suis pas certain que mon "existence" soit déjà arrivé jusqu'à lui ;)

[willguit]

Tout simplement magnifique!!! Quel beau travail! Félicitation!

[BlindStrings]

Toujours là comme supporters inconditionnels, merci la WillBand!

[Tilly220]

Absolutely fabulous!! How the instruments come in one by one and the atmosphere keeps building up ! WOW !! Great vocals too !

[BlindStrings]

Well my friend, more than ever, I urge you to have a look at his channel. Especially when I don't seem to be able to post this video in response to any of his - I hope it's a temporary problem in relation to Youtube. Thank you! Hope what-you-know went well... ;)
