I met Arty a couple of times in Galway. I was playing in a session in the Crane. Jackie Daly was there. Later in walked Arty. He was just in to listen to the tunes and few pints. He didn't have his guitar with him. Arty was my trad guitar hero, I'd learned a few off tunes off McGlynn's Fancy. Later that night I played them badly for him and then gave him my guitar. He played a few tunes and showed me his triplet method. It was such a privilege to watch his hands close up (long before the days of RUclips) and get a master class. One of the nicest people I ever met.
I was drawn to Irish music as a guitarist and wannabe fiddler for jigs...!! What a discovery...esp minor key jigs...and, not too fast...!! Cheers all from Texas!!
absolutely wonderful how i would ever have been able to experience these great old clips without youtube i will never know. thanks a million for posting
amazing sound of these 2 Yamahas. I just bought the same model (a 1974 make). They were equally good to Martins in the mid 70s! Never forget the musicians party in Connamara where I had the pleasure to meet Arty in the late 90s!
Agree that Brady's guitar is overwhelming the sound. Not his fault, he's a very loud powerful player and they should have turned his mic down. Having said that I can still hear how amazing Arty's guitar is. What a feel.
when you're playing traditional acoustic folk then balancing the volume in the sound board doesn't make much sense, this is how guitarists playing melodies typically sound at sessions
Both play Yamaha fg180's,stunning sound from a cheap laminate guitar made in Japan in the late 60's.I bought one after seeing this, and it sounds superb,shame I can't play it like these guys!
This is a moment of musical genius - just think, one day, music like this may fade away as these people grow old and pass. I just pray there are enough young ones coming along behind to pick up the torch and carry it forward.
Thankfully they are going nowhere soon.Borh musicians still share their craft.We just booked tickets to see Mr Brady next month.We never miss an opportunity to him live.In our hallway in our home hangs two very large unique paintings one of Sir Van Morrison the other Mr Paul Brady.We are huge fans and without their music life would be very different.☘️
When I hear the wonderful sound of the FG 180 it really brings me back. I had one 40 years ago but it was stolen from the boot of a friend's car. It had only cost me £10 second hand but I believe you would have to pay €1,000 for one now if you could find one.
they shouldve turned up arty . its hard enough to play tunes on guitar without having to play over such loud accompaniment. i still love the clip though

A legend passes this evening... Had the pleasure of his company for a few hours once... what a character also...
Absolutely fabulous. Arty is missed so much.
Rest in peace Arty.

I keep coming back this video. The talent of that man is awe inspiring.
A rare smile from Arty at the end... he rarely smiled which was strange as he was one of the most witty people I've ever heard.
absolutely wonderful

This is amazing playing !! All respect to these artists !! Phalaina
R.I.P. Arty.
RIP Arty McGlynn
The best Irish guitarists play the best of Traditional Irish Celtic Music

I think the effect was nice- powerful, not overwhelming.
Simply magestic! How lovely!
Super amazing!!!
Wonderful ... Rest in peace.
Simiply brilliant!
Sad news today. RIP Arty.
Fabulous to hear Arty through a microphone, rather than a built-in bridge pickup.
I've seen paul brady in new york about 8 times he is a brilliant performer .arty was also a brilliant artist and his music will live on
Lovely playing - so rare to hear!
Beautiful
Wonderful!!

OK for Artie Mc Glynn , but I don't think Brady's guitar is a Yamaha. The shape of the protection plate is very different from the Yamaha brand.
@@Frakfayt both Fg180 Red label
@@Frakfayt I think he just replaced the pickguard with a different one. Other than the pick guard it looks exactly like a Yamaha FG180
excellent songwriter
Both playing the old Yamaha FG red label,excellent guitars..

As long as there are recordings of it, people will figure out how to play it!
The music is in safe hands

Sublime!
awesomeness
Neither of them vertigo sufferers, judging by the height of those stools!
Great music too.
Really nice.
brilliant
Agreed.
when we were young
how young are you guys .... Arty McGlynn and Paul Brady!!!!!!!
class
FYI,
this tune was recorded some years back by eileen ivers,
D
a great bit of music for this very strange saint patricks day
I wish they would make an album together.
R.I.P
Is there any album of tunes of a guitar duet with one backer and one flatpicker?
Anyone know an album of a giotár duo 1 flatpicking + 1 backing with a guitar mainly, but occasionally why not a cittern or bouzouki?
A sad loss to Irish trad. RIP Arty.
i love arty and paul together they are good
RIP a Mháistéir Mór!
im a standard player but this is makin me wanna get on the dadgad, im assuming thats what theyre on and paul on fred finns?
Two Yamaha fg180 guitar .... hummmmmmmm red label 1968
In what tuning do Paul Brady play here?
@licensedtochill1
Who knows...but we know it now, yeah?
Kinda like to hear the A & C sections on a drone, but that's nitpicking. Handy playing, for sure.

Does anyone know what tuning Arty was using?
It looks and sounds like standard tuning.
He was usually in Drop D
@@dziegele Thanks.
@@kevinburnsmusic3896 Thanks for that.
is this arty g?
@tristetta clearly you are unaware that yamaha have produced some fine instruments over the years
they shouldve turned up arty . its hard enough to play tunes on guitar without having to play over such loud accompaniment. i still love the clip though
I really wish Brady wasn't playing here, or at least his volume was lower. Can't hear Arty's playing well enough (which is quite good).
what about those flairs!
Is that you on there
Sorry to comment on anything other than the spectacular guitar playing but PB is so freakin cute here it's painful!
Give Irishman or a Scotsman a guitar and he tunes the drone first
Rather hear Brady
Where's the sound engineer? Tune totally drowned out by accompaniment. Two of the best guitarists in Ireland though.
engineer? Ireland! 1976!!!! Stop moaning and take this beautiful moment in - be happy it was captured on TV!!
Lmao
PB is too loud.... argh...
i think brady is a bit fumpy and loud. don't know about you. but its well fumpy
fump
just fumpy
its fumpy nit picking
