Lord McDonald's/The Curlew

A couple reels. I haven't played reels in a while, so I'm feeling a little starved. After playing these this evening, I thought they sounded good enough to go up here.

The first reel is pretty common, I can't remember where I first learned it. The second is an Altan tune. You can see it played by the masters here.

Not too many times I've seen such a good player like you. BTW, what's that whistle? Maybe an aluminium Burke? Or what?

[Crazzykimgal]

Yes, It's an aluminum Burke. I've been quite happy with it, but I haven't tried many other whistles.

you can get the notes for almost any tune by googling. hit the Images item on the menu bar than search. On a tune like "the curlew" put "the curlew reel" to avoid getting only images of birds.

lovely! really lively pace! you play reels well, that whistle sounds great too, oh and have a look at my channel! :-)

Now that you mastered technique very well, your next step should be to work on phrasing and relax a bit. I guess this is the toughest part. Listen to Clodagh Holland she's the best example :-)

Wonderful! I like your foot tapping, too - it made it sound like a drum beat.
