Whiskey in the Jar - Banjo Ukulele

Whiskey in the Jar - Irish Traditional

First go-around with my new equipment! This kicks off my return to a fundraising effort where friends have donated their dough in exchange for song requests. With the money raised by requests I was able to get a camcorder and a decent microphone for the job - next step will be Adobe Premier to make it all snazzy.

Next video should have sharper audio after more advanced editing, this one was more or less an experiment.

I'm sporting a custom Banjolele from Waverly Street Ukuleles, check 'em out here: http://www.wsukes.com

captain farrel is a shitwhore. rapier his filthy arse with that midget banjo, and never look back. the kerry mountains will cover your tracks like a sheeps' coat.

@kaneda83 Haha most people get calmer when they're high...

[Regina316]

Not bad at all. The only thing is that the video itself could use a bit more of volume it´s really quiet. Other that that thumbs up. :)

[EricStetson]

@Regina316 Thanks! Yeah, this video was the first one I took with a new camera, was experimenting with its stock editing software which is kinda crappy. Still trying out new setups for my li'l videos.

Learn the bloody words man....

[EricStetson]

@altocool88 This song has dozens of different ways to sing it, like most folk songs that go way back. Would you prefer the Metallica version?

[Mandolin1944]

@altocool88 What words are you talking about? The song "Whiskey in the Jar" dates from at least 1720 or possibly from the hanging of Patrick Fleming" in 1650. The historic song's exact origins and words are unknown but those words used in this video are pretty close to what folk singers have been using since at least 100 years before Tin Lizzy or Metallica ever hit a stage.
