      I agree, its a rich sound. I'm a metalcore musician and didn't know about this style. Shows how blinded I am. Even if you're having a bad day the music is still so uplifting!

    It was 3 in the morning nursing a hangover on the couch I put on my tablet ,just to clear my head and listen to a little music to drown out my drunk snoring wife! To listen to some Jazz and rock and saw you and I guess your band..and sir and you were in a airport! I was completely blown away you and folks with you are super talented and I am now a true fan! Bravo sir from the pine barrens in new Jersey in the USA..

    What amazing times we live in. I just bought my first Irish Bouzouki today (been doing my research, looking at brands & models, trying find a local instructor in Los Angeles, etc), and finally realized that the best instructors and resources are at my keyboard. Thank you, Daoiri. I've watched countless clips of yours (along with your work in Four Winds) and know I'm in good hands - literally - to get me on my way. Go raibh maith agat!

      @@overtotter8639 I bought a Gold Tone on Reverb. Put in a bid for 10% less than the listed price. I should have bit 15% less. Paid appx. $700 including shipping. Comes with a quality case. Sounds good, stays in tune, nice warmth and resonance to it. It'll be the one and only bouzouki I own so I didn't want to cheap out too much. With a little hunting online you could probably find something less expenses that meets your audio expectations. Good luck on your journey.

    East coast Canadians do an up down up down strum. I’m a west prairie boy and I couldn’t get the feel of the “newfie” jigs till I figured they were doing it upside down lol. Gives it a totally different feel. With an up on the 1 and down on 4 with the stronger beat on 4 really gives it that rolling feel.

    Daoiri: just starting in mandolin. Your channel is a favorite and trying to adapt Bouzouki tunes to mandolin in two tunings. We like this tune very much in your demo, we don’t know the name though, I believe it is traditional? A variation of one or did you write it? (I Will look it up in comments, if someone mentions the name?) Such a great piece, your channel is great and the performance, travel, restaurants, foods, drinks, home, town and family videos are great too. We’ve never visited your area but get a great sense from your videos and music. You are a great musician, singer and performer.

      I’m up on the Canadian prairies, and I had a similar problem- found a Romanian outfit online called Hora which was building Irish bouzoukis and a seller who had a price I thought I could take a chance on- it took a month or two to get here, but I’ve been very happy so far- didn’t even need much in the way of tweaks to setup & action - pretty much tune up and go. Now I just have to spend enough time on it to lock in muscle memory for chords.

    • @DaoiriFarrell
      @DaoiriFarrell  3 года назад +13

      In my own opinion, they aren't great, at all. They would probably only drive you mad, but, if you never played an instrument before and you wanted to start (like I did) on one of those instruments, well then it's probably a good idea. One thing a Horo or countryman instrument will do for you is it will REALLY make you appreciate a hand built instrument when you get one.
      I honestly think when it comes to bouzoukis that you really won't see the quality until you have something like a Joe Foley, Andy Tobin instrument. I think that with bouzoukis, you get exactly what you pay for.
      The instrument that I am playing here in this video is absolutely beautiful to play and the guy who made it is just starting out. His name is Justin Rogers and he is based in Wexford, Ireland and he is currently taking on orders for custom built instruments.
      There are a lot of really great makers out there and you will not regret spending the extra money on one of you are in anyway serious about playing bouzouki.
      Sorry for the long essay and I hope that this will guide you in the right direction.
      I will do a compare/contrast review on the instruments that I have here real soon.
      Thanks for watching the video.

    • @ryand.5857
      @ryand.5857 2 года назад +2

      Mandolinist here- no, mando rhythm is a MUCH different technique. When I’m playing with my celtic band, I’m usually improvising around the main melody in the background using a lot of 6th intervals and a little tremolo picking. Sometimes on certain songs, I’ll even use bluegrass style chop chords. When the song demands more rhythm than just a guitar or bouzouki, I’ll usually just let my chords ring and will generally play as close to all four strings as possible. Yes you *can* use this bouzouki style for mando, however it’ll sound better to use a different approach. I’ve always thought of mando as more melody-focused and the ‘zouk as more of a rhythmic instrument. Ironically, when not soloing in bluegrass music though, the mandolin is basically the snare drum of a bluegrass ensemble lol. Hope this helps! At the end of the day, there is no stylistic approach that’s necessarily “wrong”, just personal preference :)
