Irish is a stuppifyingly hard language for me. You really have to get the gist of how an Irish speaker thinks in order to start to understand the language. Whether it is spelled or spoken it will confuse you for some time before you can start to understand the thought processes involved. My hope is that I can at least speak well enough someday to not embarass myself in converastion with someone who is fluent. I do love to har it spoken or in song.
It's not corrects, it's how a non-Irish English speaker, with no Irish (Gaelic) might hear and write Sliabh na mBan phonetically. An Irish person using the English form would have written it Slievenamon like the mountain in Tipperary
I think its a mixture of both. He probably has some form of condenser microphone inside his guitar. And also the microphone that you see near (or far away) from the guitar is also a condenser mic. They are super sensitive and they pick up sounds from an immense range. then its just the matter of blending both the microphones together :)
mostly pickup I reckon, condensor is a bit far off, with that monitor under it, probably uses mic for his steel string stuff, pulls it in closer. you will notice the first chord, from 0.00 to 0.03, is played close to the mic, but he pulls the guitar away and tone is unaffected, at 0.06, this leads me to believe its mostly pickup for this tune.

Very true, it has the strangest tenses as well. You need to understand philosophy before you do Irish.

anyone know what kind of pickup is in that thing? sounds phenomenal
(i'm pretty sure it's not mic'ed because it looks like it's too far away)

I saw him live two weeks ago in an irish pub in Germany, the Phoenix, and he was incredible. And they only charged 10 € for the concert.
