Brilliant playing and what a mandolin!!!! I wish!!! I have a question please. I have just bought a relatively expensive mandolin. It is a Kentucky and has a good resonant sound. I want to play Irish but I notice that a lot of Irish stuff is played on a celtic mandola/ mandolin with a deeper sound. I live in Australia so to get a celtic version would cost me a fortune. Are Jigs and reels okay on a bog standard mandolin? I am getting itchy feet because I think I have the wrong instrument. Peter
I'm sure ten months later you've realised it but it's absolutely okay, you'd need to be a real connoisseur (I'd even say a real snob) to claim that Irish tunes have to be played on a mandola/a style mandolin or whatever it is. You're absolutely fine playing Irish tunes on an F style, I do it all the time
Lovely bright sound . Enjoyed this very much .x
Very nicely played (and recorded and filmed too!) Just wow...
thanks
A 600D this time. Lenses are the key (50mm here).The camera isn't essential.

Of course they are.

Really nice 😊
Where can I learn all these songs you play?!
A good way is to put the video on 0,5 speed and get all the notes ;)
Nice, what camera are you using?
try the session dot org
