Daoiri: Thank you so much for the great lessons, your music inspires, instrumental so outstanding, the vocals also so great. I don’t have a bouzouki yet, but am learning Mandolin, and adapting the music. Best Wishes and thank you
Excellent absolutely Excellent.. I've just got myself a Hort Irish Bouzouki, I already play guitar and mandolin and have some Scottish blood in me. So the traditional sound, the droning, like bagpipes I love. an Excellent tutorial. I've got a load Irish Folk song Books I bought in 1989 in Cork, so I'll be working my way through them. Daoiri I'd love you to do more tutorials on classical traditional songs.
Great tips I am trying to transpose this rhythm on to my 12 string guitar . Cool playing and great dynamic playing for backing Celtic music. Thanks Daori insperational. 🤩👍
I've watched a lot of different videos from a lot of different people on bouzouki accompaniment. This and your video on backing jigs were the first that really clicked for me and are making all of the rest start to fall together. Thank you!
Great, many thanks! New to the bouzouki, but many years experience with guitar and mando. Found this fun and easy. Great way to learn the chords and interesting inversions. Gonna have me lots of fun with this instrument!
I finally picked up my dad's Bouzouki for the first time, it's not a flat back so I'm having fun trying to hold it as i'm playing. Really good trad lesson, thanks Daoiri. p.s You did a great set at the London Irish Centre the other week
Thank you so much! I've learned a lot by watching your playing and lessons. I like the way you connect the D chord by a walkdown on the D string to the A chord in the beginning demonstration. It adds movement and counterpoint to the accompaniment. I'd love to see you explain more of these passing notes and chords in another 'zouk lesson. To me they are "next level" accompaniment after you've learned the basic chords and right hand technique. Do you have a Patreon account or similar where I can support more lessons like this one?

Agreed 100%. Counterpoint is like the magic sprinkles of accompanying Irish tunes but nobody explains it! Also, I would absolutely support a Patreon for this kind of thing!
Hi Daoiri, Long time admirer and an absolute newb at Bouzouki, only playing 12 months or so. To make matters worse I'm very much a senior. Would love a lesson to eradicate bad habits before they get ingrained and to get your advice on how best to structure practice and on an instrument. I'm in Kildare - how can we get together?
Early days for this bouzouki player, would you do the Connachtmans rambles a’tall? The brother learned it on the melodian and it would be nice to accompany him?
Is there a specific reason to bar those bass strings on the a chord as opposed to using index middle and ring for the three held notes? I find barring with the index to be very uncomfortable.
Maybe the thought is that fewer fingers = easier chords? I find it awkward too, so I finger the A like you describe. Often, however, I just play 2200 which gives Asus4, thus keeping the light D drone going, especially in tunes in D, like this one.

How stiff of a pick do you recommend for playing a Bouzuki?
