The Minstrel Boy

Here's another Bill Tyers' arrangement ... sorry, Bill. I first heard this played on guitar by Mace Gill. After I failed to figure out how he was playing it, I discovered Mr. Tyers had an arrangement on his website. Like a lot of Bill's "simple" arrangements this one was more challenging than I expected. Of course, that's likely due to a lack of talent. on my part.

Hello Mike, very nice playing! Always again a pleasure to listen your music!

Thanks for stopping by, Wilfried. I've been trying to figure out what Youtube. is doing to the audio in my videos. They seem to have changed their video conversion process since allowing HD videos. Maybe they're trying to get rid of me.

Hello my 'old' friend! How are you? Only you can tell HOW you are but I can tell you are good!! at playing this... as always I relaize how difficult it is to play 'simple' arrangements. But you really pull it off

Greetings, Maestro. Youtube is quite dull when you're not around. I noticed you returned recently with a brand new play thing. I've been in a jealous rage ever since. You have an excellent class of friend, sir. That 7-string guitar sounds magnificent.

Very alluring playing Mike. D.

Thanks, Damian. The man who claimed to be my father says we are decended from Welshmen. Is that close enough to Ireland? At any rate, I don't know any Welsh tunes, so this will have to do.

That's a good arrangement for a good song. I think I'm going to learn this one. I really like Bill Tyers' arrangements. Thank you.

Hi Mike, got the tab in front of me & watched you play, yeh it don't look quite a simple as it appears at first. Thanks for the example to follow, much appreciated!

This performance is, like all your other ones, very very good (but celtic I love the most).
