So this is what mostly play these days. Irish Reels and jigs. I like acoustic music, no backing. Just foot stamping. Well, I like many other things, but thats what I´m into these days.

Heeeeeughhhh !

( that's the Scottish ole ).

Sounds pretty damn authentic to a man from across the water. I was stomping my foot too. I wouldn't mind pumping out upbeats in between those stomps on my geetar though.

You´ll be very welcome to put upbeats, twangs and a few syncopated hickups here and there. I love playing reels and jigs with a guitar



guitarbuddha -> RE: Some fiddling around in the workshop (Apr. 30 2014 10:28:17)

Well syncups and hiccupations aside it is the key changes and not really knowing the tunes where I get confused and yes doing too much.

Maybe I should just buy a bodhran and enjoy a few pints !!!!

Lovely stuff, Anders - thanks!



Wayne Brown -> RE: Some fiddling around in the workshop (Apr. 30 2014 15:04:43)

Great fiddling, Anders! If you're doing request.......How about "Whiskey Before Breakfast" or "Saint Anne's Reel"?

Well, Bodhran can be very nice but it can also be very annoying especially when its played by some lazy dude not interesting in knowing the tunes and drinking to many pints. You should actually play the tune on the Bodhran and not just bang along.

Thanks Estevan.

Wayne, I dont play any of these tunes. I only play around 80 reels out of, maybe 5000 or more.
The two you mention are played a lot by American bluegrass and old style fiddlers. Its a different style. But they also exist in pure irish versions. I can play Saint Anne´s in a session, I just relearn it every time I play it, but its not something I would play alone.

Well if there are 5000 tunes and any one might come up in a session and I can sing maybe half of them but don't know what key they are in or what they are called and there is no other guitarist to follow then I might do better with a Bodhran. I wouldn't just bang along but the fingering would be less challenging after a FEW pints.

All joking aside I have played a bit for fiddle at different points in my playing and really enjoyed it the last few times but that was just rehearsing for fun with friends . But in a session I would panic without someone to follow.

Exactly, there´s no difference.

There are a few rules of thumb when playing in sessions and the most important one is: Dont play if you dont know the tune... And it doesnt matter what instrument or role it may have.
Noone follows it completely, but at least dont play when it something you dont know at all.
Accompanying with a guitar, you have to know the standard chord progressions, and then its not so difficult. And its not worse than playing flamenco with a singer. In the end all kinds of music is about commitment and time. Without that, we all play horrible and it doesnt matter how much we have played other musical styles.
