Lisa is a great musician and a great teacher but as well as tutoring in banjo she could tutor in stage presence and performance. She is an absolute master at that!
Hi Lisa. I started banjo two weeks ago. I have learned the first couple of tunes. Im a retired professional musician but I keep it up for fun. I love Irish music and would love to be able to play as good as you. I live near Mullingar which, as you know hosted the Flagh this year and there’s a great possibility they’ll host it next year, so I aiming to learn a few gigs and reels with your help. Keep up the good work.
It would be easier if the tabs were out in the screen to each note, I’m hopeless at following videos but thanks for the video all the same from a struggling newbie
I first heard this tune in the Butler Arms public bar in Waterville in about 1968! The tinkers were in town for the annual donkey derby on Reenroe strand.
Online Academy of Irish Music hiya, a banjo school started 1 week ago, but i missed the first class, this week was the 2nd week, but due to the sudden downpour of snow i couldnt make it this week either be uase the fog over the mountain was too severe, i couldnt see past my car bonnet, so i turned and came back home. getting on good with the banjo, my mom is better and needs less taking care off which allows me to get back into it.
Interested in the monthly subscription to OAIM, but worried about the ability to freely cancel my subscription. I’ve heard too many horror stories about people trying to cancel monthly subscriptions! Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi Noel, This is ear music so I'd suggest following the tutor and listening to see if it matches what is being played in the vid. How long are you playing banjo?
You need a tenor. Any banjo will do to start off with but if you spend a few extra bucks on a good one you will improve faster, enjoy it more and it would have good sell on value if you give it up.
Any tenor will do. Are you thinking of buying one? Set up is important, so if you buy a cheap one I'd recommend getting your local luthier to set it up well.
@@onlineacademyofirishmusic Yes I'm looking for a good second hand one to see how I get on. I'll look into setting it up too thanks. Is it 17 frets or 19 I need?
@@lf6352 plectrum banjos have longer necks with about 22 frets like a five sting without the drone string, and tenor banjos have 19 frets or 17 short scale,
Yes I’m pretty sure it’s a plectrum banjo, I have a plectrum banjo and a tenor banjo, plectrum banjos are usually used for jazz music, and were very popular in the 20s, I have never seen someone playing Irish music on a plectrum banjo before, you can see that it looks far longer than usual
Hi Dylan, this is a lesson about triplets on the banjo and not designed to teach beginners to music how to read TAB. If you search again for "beginner banjo lesson" or "how to read TAB for banjo" you'll probably get what you're looking for :)

Nice 1 Noel, enjoy the fleadh and let us know how you're getting on.
Signed up a year ago lisa is brilliant showing how simple it can be breaking it down looking forward to this course too
Glad you're enjoying the lessons!

Thanks....from Turkey
You're welcome !
Absolutely charming playing.
Glad you like it, do you play banjo yourself?
Thanks Lisa!
Lot's more great lessons from Lisa here - www.oaim.ie/tenor-banjo/banjo-foundations/
I need to master those triplets on the giotár.
Great idea to have a follow-on course with the same tutor.
I first heard this tune in the Butler Arms public bar in Waterville in about 1968! The tinkers were in town for the annual donkey derby on Reenroe strand.
Love it !
nice, i will follow the course, need to be more dedicated this yr

Banjo go breá! ;)

Wow
OK so this is the first time I’ve seen anybody use a flat pick on the banjo. Is that common with Irish banjo?
actually, the common way to play tenor banjo (4 string) in general
Ooo
Two quavers, down up ?

I’m confused with your strokes. Should it not be a down stroke on the stronger part of the beat ?

That banjo has such a nice tone! Who is the maker of this instrument?
I think it's Clareen - is that you Eoin?
It's a Clareen Oyster
Do you need an tenor banjo for irish music or will an 5 string work just as well? I want to buy a banjo for irish music but dont know wich one haha
You need a tenor. Any banjo will do to start off with but if you spend a few extra bucks on a good one you will improve faster, enjoy it more and it would have good sell on value if you give it up.
@@onlineacademyofirishmusic thanks!
Price?
From €16 pm. All the details are here - member.oaim.ie/free-trial/
Does the academy website have any lessons on how to create Celtic compositions of your own, like what scales are common, keys ideal, etc.?

Is there a special Irish tenor banjo you need to buy or any tenor banjo.
Any tenor will do. Are you thinking of buying one? Set up is important, so if you buy a cheap one I'd recommend getting your local luthier to set it up well.
@@onlineacademyofirishmusic Yes I'm looking for a good second hand one to see how I get on. I'll look into setting it up too thanks. Is it 17 frets or 19 I need?
Either would be fine.
Please tell me ... What's is the scale of all string
Hi, The banjo is tuned to GDAE. Does that answer your question?
@@onlineacademyofirishmusic So the Banjo is tuned like a Fiddle.
Which do you prefer, clareen or emerald banjos?
The title says you go over triplets??
Is that a plectrum banjo?
Yes, it's a tenor banjo
@@lf6352 i mean a plectrum banjo as opposed to a tenor banjo
@@theliamofella she's playing a tenor banjo. Normally tenor banjos are played with a plectrum. I think I don't understand your question
@@lf6352 plectrum banjos have longer necks with about 22 frets like a five sting without the drone string, and tenor banjos have 19 frets or 17 short scale,
Yes I’m pretty sure it’s a plectrum banjo, I have a plectrum banjo and a tenor banjo, plectrum banjos are usually used for jazz music, and were very popular in the 20s,
I have never seen someone playing Irish music on a plectrum banjo before, you can see that it looks far longer than usual
It would just help if they learned us to read tabs first instead of us looking at her playing the notes and saying them

Yikes, the last part where you put it together is way too fast for this beginner to play along.
Hi Andrea, this is an intermediate lesson. Here's the beginner lessons with Lisa - www.oaim.ie/harp/harp-basics/
@@onlineacademyofirishmusic Thank you but I do not play the harp. Is there a beginner lesson for the tenor banjo?
