The Minstrel Boy - instrumental

I have a "bar" sort of voice, and didn't feel that I could do such a hot job on this on the fly - so it is an instrumental.

This is my own little arrangement exploiting the wonderfully simple notion of parallel 6ths

However, I do have a nice clean version with vocals on my CD of Irish Ballads called "By The Rising of the Moon" (send me a private IM if you are interested)

Very beautiful. Didn't understand the English after all USA & Britain are separated by a common language!

[MaceGill]

You mean my notes?

Best attempt at translation from American to English:

I have a "pub" sort of voice, and I didn't feel that I could do such a good job of it - singing I mean - what with time being so short and all.

This is my own little arrangement exploiting the wonderfully simple harmonic device of parallel 6ths

You watch the video and you fly with the music but suddenly all is over and you awake. Man your timing is amazing and the flow. No chance to withstand to go along with the melody. Smooth playing is freaking hard to achieve! congrats!
