You cant teach people this is how you fucking back our music man. This is literally the first ever time iv ever responded to any one of these vids! You have nothing educational here, Learning how to accompany Irish Music is an art form for a few privileged guitar players. Without sounding like a total freak honestly im just a bit pissed off at the easy ness to it all its very hard and its recommended you know the melody before you attempt the chords. I know cause I did it wrong myself for a long time!

As an Irish man who plays trad, I was waiting to see what his first chord would be to see how familiar he is with the music, I expected a A minor

When my family moved from Scotland to Ireland in the 1600's they changed their name from Moore to O'Moore, cfant get more Irish than that! :D

This is simply brilliant, thanks for the upload

I think your diagram for the G chord is showing fingers on the wrong frets. should start on forth fret not third if im not mistaken.But a great introduction to open tuning . learned a lot ,thanks.

I,ve studied celtic guitar at Trinity College. I' italian, but i live in Donegal, Ireland. Slàn buachaill.

I keep trying to escape my Irishness in my songwriting but it keeps showing up..., most recently in my song: “David O’Malley”, an Irish waltz about a little stray orange cat I adopted.

Not sure what any of that has to do with alcohol but ok..

If you want to channel the depths of your Irish heritage, play the fiddle. Guitar isn't a traditional Irish music instrument. It's a 20th century invasion from the 60s folk scene that never should have happened. And there's a lot more to it than just playing in 6/8. Sorry to seem grumpy about it, but...

thank you love love love Irish music and the country. we went a few years ago and fell in love with Ireland and the people are so friendly and would come up to us just to gab.

Hey I'm Irish and have a small gig tonight you just saved me 😂🍀🎸

Hmm, I am interested in Irish guitar, and there is alcohol involved....

Can you play Three sheets to the wind? Looks like you got it down.

Thanks a lot! Sunday morning and finding a good guy for my guitar lesson:))

a jig is exactly the same as a very fast waltz...exactly!...dont kid yourself

you got great intros man

Eww, open B string in the G major chord

sixx-eeh

I see a lot of players trying to use DUDDUD. At most 1% actually succeed, and even then, it's ugly, awkward and counter intuitive. As Han Speek so rightly pointed out many years ago, it's a waste of time/energy and destroys the rhythm.

Rhythm guitar playing is like drumming. There is a natural order and rhythm to base technique which subsequently allows you to build out in any direction you like. Using DUDDUD, you throw a spanner in the works which robs subsequent rhythm patterns of their flow, swing and grace.

Sure, many use DUDDUD. I've yet to meet anyone who can explain and demonstrate why.

thanks man

"channel the depths of your irish heritage" erm... i'm from Derry lmao

Typical American trying to teach Irish music, getting everything arse-ways

Sean you just must . Get yourself a good Cedar Creek dulcimer And to get to know it and play it on here They're really quite lovely

I'm from Ireland and I love Ireland

Awesome video. Informative.

Excellent Sean! Especially your making sense of dadgad by breaking down those chords. I have seen the light!
Thanks amigo! Stay safe, be well!

Could u demo more so show first the whole thing then break down ? I’m asking as id like to see more videos from you . That way I get what you’re talking about right away

bevvied up. Good man.

I'm from Dublin and this is so good

Im litterally drink as in trying to play Irish on my standard acoustic... Is this beneficial or negative?

I never understood why sequencers like the Roland TB-303 have the 'accent' button. Now I get where that comes from

How to do

Alcohol is definitely involved but it is Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey😂😂

Sounds somewhat Spanish at the end! I'm an Irish blooded USAer living in Nicaragua and have read that a lot of Spanish music, especially from Mexico has strong Irish influence from Irish immigration there hundreds of years ago! Listen to Chris De Burgh and compare to Marco Antonio Solís for example. Great stuff!!!

Where did you get this jacket?? It is so nice

That video was great but do you really have to talk at 100 mph?

Fantastic!!!

is holding an acoustic and drinking ok stop watching me thru my window please kind man

What soccer team do you support is it celtic

as mentioned 6/8 is a doubled waltz

What kind of acoustic guitar is usually used for Irish music?

you're about as irish as a can of coors lite
