Boys of Blue Hill

Rich Reeves and Jody Hale of The River Ramblers playing a much loved hornpipe. We learned this from a couple of different sources including the Battens from CBS. Thanks guys!!

Great version! I really like this combination of instruments for this tune and the flair you have given it!

[newfiefiddler]

Thanks

The tune is great, and the accompaniment with that unique chord usage makes the version of the song. Wonderful. Ross USMC and I both think the song is great, and we love to play it together.

gud job lads

[newfiefiddler]

Thanks for the comments. I'm in standard pitch and it's in the key of F, capo on the first fret.

PS are you in Drop D (DADGBE) tuning here? Thanks!

[Mandolin1944]

Fantastic job -- well played! I really like seeing the guitar backup so clearly displayed-- a real treat! Backing up Celtic music has always seemed like a black art to me -- esp. when you watch someone like John Doyle -- you do the same style but you make it clear in your video -- BRAVO! 5 stars.

Very cool chord choice and unique strumming pattern on the guitar! It really gave this classic tune a little something extra. Nice job, guys!
