Irish bouzouki - Toss the Feathers

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 29 янв 2018
  • Here's another set of tunes on the bouzouki, two reels that, for reasons unknown, are both called "Toss the Feathers". The first one was famously covered by The Corrs some time ago, the second I picked up from the playing of Phil and the late John Cunningham on one of the old Silly Wizard albums.
    For those who are interested, the bouzouki is a Fylde longscale archtop in G,DAd. Backing is played by me on that same bouzouki and on a Martin guitar in DADGAD.

    You start out at such a blistering pace... and then maintain it ( unbelievably). You must have been playing stringed instruments a long time. Clean picking,& maintain an even tempo, Wow

    Not only you're fast and flawless, your touch is perfect and you deliver a wide range, if one listens without watching it might even sound as if there were two instruments playing at the same time.
    Keep up the good work - also kudos for promoting traditional music.

    "Let's play Toss the Feathers" he says. So, I play the version I know, your second version. "That's not it!" says he. hmm thinks I. So finally you've revealed the mystery of the double Toss. And you revealed them quite stunningly. I think you passed the audition.
