colin rudd - arthur mcbride

Just showing the 12-string to my friend Jenny here...it's great to be allowed to borrow it now that it's been repaired and I hope I can keep it for awhile!
Arthur McBride is a terrific song, I love the way these "pacifistic" guys give it to the recruiters looking for cannon-fodder(as usual).

I hope your friend Jenny let's you keep that guitar too...So you can post more videos of your playing on it!

[Naarling]

Nice playing, and a nice voice too :)

[Guitar4music]

Nice played! What is the tuning?

[Hephaistos51413]

you know your playing is great but there is only one man on youtube who can lay claim to this perspective....

[prestodc]

Great version! Is there any chance you have tabs for this?

[pattysmyth4]

beautiful version. thank you. i am learning this mostly following paul brady's version, but you have given me other cool ideas. you've a great voice and i'd love to know what brand of 12-string you are playing.

Man, this 12 string is something else.

[RugbyHockeySoccer]

Anyone willing to do a lesson on this song?

[datad0g]

Love this song, and love your interpretations...

I do wonder about your definition of 'pacificst. Not sure a pacifist would even carry a shilelegh, let along club someone with it.

I don't think this poem was written as much about being "pacificstic" or anti-war, as much as it was about the specific circumstances of the napoleonic wars and the English trying to recruit the Irish to go fight.

that 12 string is the bizness boy

fair play to ye
