I love your instruction videos, no endless talking through it and everything you need to learn the tune is in the video. Brilliant!

I've been playing mandolin since a year ago and your tutorals are the best !
No endless speeches, no b»»»sh»»»»»g, everything is
clear and easy to understand, besides that, your picking technic is

[pollyb]

Beautiful.
Don't suppose you'd be able to post the rhythm section tab/chords too?
Thank you so much

I'm a guitar player and I bought a mandolin as a side intrument because of its size and use on european folk music. So far your tabs been by far the most helpful

[matjordan]

This is really excellent, a really nice version and the tab/instructions are really clear and easy to follow. I've enjoyed working on it over Christmas, but I'm nowhere near up to full speed.

By my reckoning the accompaniment is as follows:
Part A & B (both the same)
Em on bars 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6
D on bars 4 & 8
C on bar 7


Part C
Em on bars 1, 2, 5 & 6
C on bar 3
D on bars 4 & 8
Bm on bar 7

Part D
Em on bars 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6
D on 4 & 8
Bm on 7

Your original lesson for this song was the first thing I ever learned how to play on Mandolin; it's interesting to see a new take on it. Also, this sounds absolutely incredible with the rhythm playing chords behind it.

Thanks so much. I love all your videos. This is helpful.

[timothyomahony]

Great stuff. Thanks for this really good instruction. Might actually get this jig now!

[harvstersmusic]

Great lesson, no bones about it. Extremely entertaining as well. You are awsome.

[spacedruid]

Thanks for added the slowed down part, helps a lot in some areas.

[CreativeSteve]

I love listening to these lessons. Great seleciton of tunes. :)

[lindamon]

Have loved this tune since I saw the video of Frankie Gavin and co playing it many years ago. Now I think, with your help I might be able to learn it myself. Just love the C and D parts!

[tomsnowball]

Great lesson! I'd really appreciate the addition of upstrokes/downstrokes as I'm having trouble working that part out. Thanks!

[radharcanna]

Beautiful playing and clear instruction. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Great lesson and I really like that you included versions with and without the triplets. I'm going to start learning the triplets version.

Your video was posted more than a year ago so you may have already taken care of this, but it sounds like one or both of the E string slots in the nut need to be worked a bit. There's a distinct sharp buzz when you play the open E course that's not there when you play any of the fretted notes on the E course. That sound often comes from the bottom of the slot being flat or sloped slightly toward the fretboard. It's an easy fix.

I really like how this video shows the rhythm & the melody (I'm trying to figure out what chords are being played) Thank You!! 👍🏻😁

[rajendrapatel]

I will try this. Sir put also easy lesson like this with tab

[stratocactus]

Wow merci ! Cette jig est excellente :)
M'en vais écrire la tablature de ce pas.

[jstandley]

Great tune, great performance, great lesson! High quality video and audio. Love the added rhythm backing! Now I can finally learn the D part to this tune, lol.Thanks so much for your hard work.

[gibby]

Thanks for this great lesson! It appears you are using fairly heavy strings? Beautiful Collings as well....
