    This is such an enjoyable video on multiple levels. Even if you are not a huge banjo lover, although I am slowly becoming one. The videography is simple but truly captures a sense of simple beauty and enjoyment of the act of playing and practicing; at least that's what i see in it. Fergal, you clearly really enjoy playing, and you are quite good! I especially like those frequent rapid triple / quadruple notes... I am sure they have a proper name. I cannot help but chuckle at the very few thumbs down next to the over 1.6k thumbs up at the time of this writing. Who needs to give this a thumbs down? Probably the same people who dis-like baby kitten videos. *chuckle.

    • @fergalohanlonmusic
      @fergalohanlonmusic  3 года назад +2

      Thanks very much for the kind words. We call The rapid notes triplets. I do really enjoy playing and at the time of filming I was really into it, so I’m glad it shows. As for the thumbs down, anyone who puts themselves out there before the public will get some negative responses. I’ve learned to take no notice. Thanks
