I have the video that this comes from and have taken classes from Pat at the Swannanoah gathering. He's a cool person, great teacher. Get his stuff. I've learned a lot from him.
The record charts...world wide influence... movies....TV....it's all speaks the truth. It's a FACT...you don't have to like it....but it speaks for itself. America has been THE evolution of music for the better part of 100 years. What happened HERE...in our music scene didn't happen ANYWHERE else. IMHO
Did you know that this is the theme song from the new Starz series Outlander? It is a beautiful song and is perfect in tone and lyrics for the show. You do a beautiful rendition. I'm going to learn it for my wife as she is Scots and loves the book series. Thanks.
Hello Pat You are one of the best Guitar teacher that I have ever met on line. I have been to lot of sites,been on 1:1 sessions but I learned more from your lessons. I can now play Fandango on open G,thanks to your instructions. I will now go on to DadGad tuning and learn to play some Celtic tunes. Hope to keep different guitars separated for different tuning systems.
Sorry to mention it , but it sounds like he is only playing half of the melody, i.e. the chorus. There is another bit, where it goes high, which just does not appear in this version.
No, I don't think that the USA is better than any other country...but I'm tired of people picking on it....yet they all want to come over and take from us. I'm a teacher and a historian...and I KNOW the contributions that the USA has made towards music...are second to none. And I do LOVE the contributions that GB made to metal...heck...metal IS GB. No argument there.
No...what I "said" was directed at an earlier comment...(TonyMcWatt)...and I NEVER said that other countries hadn't contributed towards the greater musical good. On the contrary...many of the musics I love and teach are rooted in other countries. America just had/has the ability to "meld" things...no other country has that...to the same level as the US. Main stream music is affected by the US more than ANY other country...that doesn't mean it's good...but that IS a fact.
Don't you people forget where people of America came from, whether youre talking about North America, or just the USA. Without Europe us North Americans would not be here, whether we are Irish, Scottish, Brittish, or French. We are very Multi cultural, I know for a fact almost every Nationality is in Canada today and the USA as well. We influence one another to better our selves, no one is better then the other.
Just a suggestion Pat, having ensured peoples guitars are in tune (Standard Tuning E, A,D,G,B E) You then show one of the ways of tuning the guitar to DADGAD, which is perfectly fine. But you then move swiftly on to the song, it might be useful to ensure peoples guitars are actually in DADGAD rather than rush through that by simply strumming the strings once, maybe just strike each (DADGAD) string once so they can check theirs, otherwise it seems to defeat your initial idea of ensuring guitars are all in tune at the beginning. - Just a suggestion. :O)
Late reply, but this is part of an old 90 min DVD, and most of these clips just show a small part of the DVDs. I'm not sure Pat Kirtley reads this comment section, and it doesn't seem like he was the uploader, but there is a forum at the Grossman Guitar Workshop, and other contact options.
Not only America.Of course most of the HipHop R&B and similair music started in America, but not only america has had influence in the evolution of music. G.B. had some major Heavy Metal bands in the 80s. Pop music generated from almost everywhere. And in Sweden, some big named Metal Bands flourish. America has had/has some major influence, but is surely not THE evolution of music. It makes you sound like an egoïst who thinks his country is better than the rest of the world. No offence.

Pat, I'm from Scotland. This is the way it SHOULD be sung. But you do a good job popularising our music, Shuggy

STARTS AT 3:12
Silver Wings you're amazing lol
Pat, thank you for an excellent lesson!
Check out both Pat's DVDs and Tony McManus DVDs on Celtic Guitar. Start with Pat's since his style is more accessible.
Sorry to mention it , but it sounds like he is only playing half of the melody, i.e. the chorus. There is another bit, where it goes high, which just does not appear in this version.
great i think i will go into Celtic guitar style its beutifful

What kind of guitar are you playing? It's beautiful and has a lovely sound.
looks like a Taylor 714c; rosewood/cedar

Being Scottish I find that 'adaptation' of the melody quite irritating and not very 'Celtic'.
This just sounds ......wrong.

The Irish are NOT British.
