      Matthew Todd so glad you enjoyed it! I remember loving Riverdance when I was young - we used to play it on VHS at my grandparents’ house, but didn’t really discover this until Claire insisted I should learn it... couple months later and here I am, totally in love with it!

    Hey William, like everyone has been saying that was an absolutely amazing performance! That show was engrained into my psyche at a very young age and the connection I have always felt towards it has been paramount and unparalleled. I realize you made this video 2 years ago and that I would be asking a lot, but would you be willing to do a tutorial video for this song? Or could you possibly direct me to a place where I could learn it like you did? It would really mean a lot. I have always wanted to play it, but I’ve never been able to acquire the means. Thank you so much again for this video! I hope you are well

    • @WilliamJohnston
      @WilliamJohnston  Год назад +2

      Hi Jacob, thanks so much! Tutorial wise is very unlikely in the near future as we’re in the midst of moving house at the moment, but there is a chance I might get sheet music & tabs available in the not too distant future, I think I scored the main theme (the first fast tune) in notation format, so that would translate to tab without too much difficulty. I’ll add it to the to do list and hopefully update with a link in the description! Thanks again for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

    William, I just saw your stuff on VGO and ended up here. It was this song played by Rafael Riquena that made me first pick up a guitar aged about 30 - far too old to start but I'm still trying! Very nice job and the production is top class!

    • @WilliamJohnston
      @WilliamJohnston  4 года назад +2

      Hi Philip, really great to hear from you. VGO has been an amazing thing to be part of! I only discovered this piece recently through recommendation from my wife but I did used to watch Riverdance and Lord of the Dance on VHS when I was very young and visiting my grandparents, I didn’t remember much other than being utterly perplexed by Michael Flatley!

      Thanks very much, that’s because it is the original! 😅 I used some editing tricks to turn down the original guitar part (mid/side processing and eq), and took out the intro completely so I could record my own with free tempo like the original, and pieced it all together.
