Day 366 Fairy Tale of New York (tutorial and play through) - 365 Days of Irish Tenor Banjo Tunes
Well this one is finally it. The last video of 365/366 Banjo Tunes. This makes a full year of playing a new tune every single day for a full year. This last tune number 366 comes about because its a leap year. Because there were no more tunes left in the book I thought I would do something fun. I chose The Fairy Tale of New York by the Pogues for my final tune of this series. It's not a trad tune but I think you can call it Irish and it is Christmas time. To make it a little more interesting, I did up more of a tutorial at the start. I really hope some other beginner Irish Tenor Banjo players find this tutorial useful and can learn to play Fairy Tale of New York. I managed to incorporate ...

Day 365 John Ryan’s Polka - 365 Days of Irish Tenor Banjo Tunes

Well it’s day 365 but oddly enough not the end of the year. It turns out I decided to do this tune a day New Year’s resolution on a leap year which means 366 days. So I will be back Timor with a bonus tune. As for The Big Book of 365 Irish Tunes it only has 365 unit so today is the last tune out of the book. I am going to do another video summing up this journey but I wanted to give a shout out...
Day 364 The Pipe on the Hob - 365 Days of Irish Tenor Banjo Tunes

Time for the last jig in the book! This is in A Dorian and while it wasn’t easy it wasn’t as tough as I thought it would be. I feel I pulled off a reasonable pace and a decent Irish feel to it. Tomorrow is the last tune in the book but because of the leap year there will be one more after that on New Year’s Eve. These daily postings are my way of trying to get better at Irish Tenor Banjo.

The last of the reels in the book! Today is Dinky’s Reel in A Mixolydian. Not the easiest tune.

Heading in to the final week of this endeavour of playing a new tune on the banjo every day for a full year. It also happens to be Christmas Eve so I thought the Christmas Eve Reel seemed like the most appropriate to play. Number 168 in the Banjo Buddy’s Big Book of 365 Irish Tunes. I am not sure if this is a tradition to play on Christmas Eve in Ireland but I can certainly start one over here....

Although chronologically today is day 357 I am backing up the bus to fix an error. On day 317 I recorded Maggie Finnegan’s but I had already recorded it on day 295 and just forgot to cross it off. So this is replacing it so we stay with the correct number of tunes. A very long tune and tricky in parts. It has a number of dotted quarters which I always find hard to get the correct amount of time...

Taking on a tune that had a really great lesson from Enda. I did a basic version as in the Banjo Buddy book and then I did the simple chord version from Enda’s lesson. I’ve struggled with chords even the double stop type. In this one there is double stops followed right away by triplets. Certainly a challenge. I didn’t nail it and it wasn’t fast but I did better than I expected. These daily pos...

  • @BenjaminHockenberry
    @BenjaminHockenberry Месяц назад

    A little unsolicited tip: Written-in triplets (or groupings of two sixteenths and an eighth like in this setting) can usually be simplified to just the first and last notes of that grouping. That would bring this tune solidly down in your difficulty calculation! Keeping solid rhythm is so much more important than fitting in an uncomfortable ornament. 🙂

      But other than that timing issue on the sixteenth note bit, awesome job on a really big tune!

    Someone once told me a banjo is a percussive instrument you can play melody on. The very good ones in clawhammer and irish tenor do this if you listen closely. Sometimes I have to count as i play. Reels 1 ans 2 and 3 and 4 aand 5 and 6 and 7 and 8. Hornpipes and polkas seem to be 1 and 2 ans 1 and 2 etc. Helps me especially when learning from a written source

      @philsstuff 3 месяца назад

      At this point I am working on technique and getting better by playing every day. I am not so concerned with memorizing a tune. Usually by the end of a practice session though I am barely using the book, usually just for notes but not the rhythm if that makes sense. After I am done this 365 thing, my plan is to start to master a few tunes. I want to be able to play them from memory without a book and also add my own ornamentation to them. I also need to work on getting more of an Irish feel in to the tunes, quite often I am a little mechanical.

    When you read online it does say it is a pilsner styled lager. I am just drinking one now. Compared to their regular pilsner it is more sweet, almost more similar to their lager. I love Philips. I grew up on the Island so I like supporting Island based businesses. That being said, it is a good non-alcoholic beer. I have always preferred Pilsners and Lagers over everything, and so far this is the best non-alcoholic pilsner/lager i have had.
