The Queen of Argyll
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- With Suzanne Leeuw on bodhrán. This song was written by the late Andy M. Stewart, formerly of Silly Wizard. The bouzouki intermezzo I believe was written by Phil Cunningham, who isn't only a master accordionist but also an expert bouzouki player. This is a song I absolutely love to do and I think this version turned out rather nicely.
Comments are welcome!
P.S. Commercial talk: this song is also on the new Itchy Fingers album, "Scratching the Surface", available through www.itchy-finge...
Wow! Best version I've heard next to the original and honestly a contender against that. Truly outstanding. Voice is spot on and you can absolutely rock the 'zouk! Just wow! Love it
I've been trying to chase down a video of someone that could play the Queen properly for *ages*. And you, my friend, have nailed it. I had a suspicion that it was played on the bouzouki rather than guitar. I've got a tablature for guitar, and let me tell you, getting the right note sequences with guitar tuning is next to impossible. Terminal case of pretzel fingers. Looks like I've got to get a bouzouki and learn how to play it. Yet another point on my list of justifying the expense to my wife.
I can't find the words to express my appreciation for what you've done here. A righteous cover if ever there was one.
Such musicality - the real thing. Expressive as anything....
great version of a great tune... and the slow smile the bodhran player gives at the end is purely golden. You know you're doing something right when you earn a smile like that.
It sounds just like my childhood! Nostalgic. I remember my dad used to replay this song over n over in his car while driving me all over when I was a kid.
Как же я обожаю звук ирландского бузуки
Channeling the late, great Andy M. Steward .... and the vibe of The Great Scots band, Silly Wizard. (I had most all their albums, and had the privilege of attending a concert, in Newport RI, as I recall.)
Think I've listened to this 50 times this week, pure class and such character in your playing. Best version of the queen of Argyll!
Wonderfully correct chording and rhythm/percussion...
You do honor to Silly Wizard !!! Bravo to you both !!!
Loved this song, first time listening. Took a real liking to Bouzouki recently. Great job
It's not that I'm Greek, in fact in the past I disliked it, but now I think bouzouki is the best or most versatile 4-stringed instrument in the world. Much more, in the hands of a skilled player!
Νταξει ο Θανάσης ο Παπακωνσταντίνου κι ο Χαρούλης ναι, αλλά άμα πάμε σε Κιάμο Οικονομόπουλο με χάνεις
awesome!
Wow that's amazing! The bodhrán also really adds more character to it!
Really well done. It has the same intensity of energy of the Wizard original.
Great. I mean it. Really great. Unbelievable, Jeff.
Absolutely amazing cover. I come back regularly to listen to this

TijnB42, I have been a fan of yours for over 7 years now. You inspired me to start playing the Bouzouki. Thank you so much! But I’ve never been able to lock down the Queen if Argyll. Could you post the tabs? Or maybe share a tutorial video? Or share any advice for learning the song?
Many thanks,
Cheers

Hi! Can you play it???!! I'd really LOVE to learn this song..
Bravo
it sounds great! thanks for the song.
Yours is my favorite version of a great song with the best lyrics ever. I've listened 50 times and haven't quite nailed the subtle changes of the melody, but I'm going to try recording it. And what is your full name please, TijnB42? Great musicianship!
Excellent version. Please tab this out.
Who is your bodhran player? Anyone with a smile like that should be named!
Nailed it.
Awesome !!
You have nailed it.
Nice song !

amazing *o*
I bought a bouzouki..tuned it to GDAD ...and slowed it down by half.... It is the song I wanted to learn,...,,anybody have it tabbed? ...probably buy a bodrhan next,...
sweet
My friend, eccellent performance!! Just like the original album 😊 is there a Tab for this song? I can't find one anywere
Excellent music, and voice. Very enjoyable. Am glad to be subscribed.
It would have been nice if the mic didn't hide the view of Suzanne's Bodhran playing.
Truly great ! I’d like to know if I can do this on an octave mandolin ?
When are you doing tour to Australia? Would love to see you here.
Thanks :) As soon as I get a booking there I'll come over!
Do you have the music for this. Ive got a bouzouki ans a mandolin and id absolutely love to try this one
Wow! Rockin' bouzouki! How long have you been playing?
Love this version! Thanks for playing! Do you have any tabs or sheet music on this measure? TIA!
You should start create own tutorials. It will help all world. (sorry for my english :D )
Fantastic as usual! Keep it up. Is your album on Pandora or Spotify by any chance?
Thanks! Alas, it is not - my albums are both home productions and only available from me, either as a physical CD or a digital download. Contact me through info@tijnberends.com for more info.
good shit
Up Ireland 🍀
I'm an arrogant elitist, and I have no trouble telling people they're shit.
You my, friends, don't give me a damned thing to bitch about. Nicely fucking done.
More Bodhran
A great rendition! Are you in ADAD tuning by chance?
Also I just googled 'itchy fingers scratching the surface' looking for your album and now my Facebook keeps suggesting wart cream 😂
Haha, nice! Do you think there's a big market for traditional Irish wart cream?
@@TijnB42 haha a very warty lot us Irish 😅
Geweldige performance. Andy zou er trots op zijn!
Zou het mogelijk zijn om hier de tabs van te krijgen? Akkoorden tabs voldoen al. Alvast bedankt.
What model Bouzouki do you play?
Wow. It's like the reincarnation of Andy M. Stewart. NICE stuff. We did a cover of this in Am (to allow addition of scottish smallpipes) but it's a lousy vocal key for me (too high). I like yours better ;)
Great cover! Bouzouki afination? GDAE?
