Beginner Mandolin - Musical Priest (Irish Reel) on a M-2 from Big Muddy Mandolin Co.

This is my first Irish Reel and first memorized song on mandolin. I've only been playing a couple of weeks but I think it sounds good. I found the music / tab at mandolinsessions.com in the Irish/Celtic section if you are interested in playing it. Also, the recordings on the website are not "exactly" the same as what the "music" states but slight variations are always a part of making a song your own.

nice work, my only advice is to cut the swing a bit. The way you're playing it at the moment is like a hornpipe, reels should have strength on the beat rather than the offbeat.

@Eakea - Thank you for the advice. I'm still just learning and any advice is helpful. I had only had the mando for about two weeks before making the video so that is why it's a little choppy, thank you though for checkin' out the video; I appreciate it!

Hey, sounds good, dude. I'm just starting on the mando as well. How do you like the big muddy? I was going to get one. Thanks a lot for the website, too. Rock on!

@mcneely2818 - sorry for such a late reply, Big Muddy is one of the best companies I've dealt with for anything. Highly recommended by everyone I've talked to and anyone whose heard my M-2. Don't be afraid to contact them and ask any questions.
