Bones Intructional Video: Sample excerpt

The "BONES FROM THE BEGINNING" instructional video features 80 minutes of comprehensive, "Hands On" educational entertainment focusing the viewer on playing, preserving and understanding the tradition of ancient Irish Bone playing, by bones expert Aaron Plunkett. Starting at the most basic levels and continuing on to advanced formats, one hand or two, this video shares and unfolds the timeless secrets needed to play one of the oldest instruments in the world using simple language phrases to convey complex and simple rhythms on the Bones. The video displays music and culture in a setting that is both enjoyable, educational and fun covering basic and advanced Celtic music forms such as Jigs/Reels/Slipjigs as well as multi-ethnic musical styles. Mr. Plunkett is one of a few select players who has developed a method so that the pitches change while playing, and his unique sound and abilities have afforded him many soundtrack recordings such as the epic film, THE TITANIC, where you can hear his featured Irish percussion tracks the Bodhran (Celtic Drum), Spoons and Bones.

Wow, I play bones, but I didn't know they could do all that!

Thanks for making this instructional video!

There aren't many bone players near where I live to learn from and after practicing on my own for a while I was in a bit of a rut. Working with it has really helped.
