  • best part "jiggidy jiggidy" that's a new one!!! i think he's a little confused!! revising for trad exam- this definitely cheered me up!!

  • @PatrickM1996

    The good thing about videos on the internet is that you can go back and rewatch. I'm pretty sure they had this in mind when they made the video. If he decided not to say that much and just play, what would be the point? You can't rewind and get any new sentences or advice.

  • @SuperSoupysoup Yes, but he could balance it more. I know the talking is good advice but it's no use if he's just saying it and not doing enough playing to show us.

  • Look, if he wasn't talking and just played, you wouldn't have a clue what's going on.

    I say proper job. Explanations are good.

  • Talk about making it up as you go along. Expert?

  • @arjantjeee This note combination is not a cran in the best sense of the word ...listen to Matt Molloy if you can on this.

  • @MrDeclanW all movies from expert village suck.

    look up the rainstick xD

  • @MrDeclanW You are correct! I doubt if he is expert in classical either.

    this tutorial needs a bit of tidying up. The jig rhythm needs a bit of nuance to work in trad also ...see Nina Perlov/ BlarneyPilgrim of this parish ...often the classical players rhythm is too uniform, not sufficiently emphasised or coloured. With a good teacher , this can be rectified.

  • You could be a expert In classical but not in Irish trad. You don't seem to know what you are on about. Those so called crans are cuts and rolls. You don't only use one finger for rolls you use three. I know this because I'm irish and I play trad flute too. Trad and classical are not near the same. And jig a jig a de jig ? It's 1- 2-3-4-5-6. Or rashers and sausages rashers and sausages.
