Fingerstyle guitar, Irish bouzouki and modal, moody trad songs. New videos every Sunday!
Guitar nerds, hear more of my work on the Cedar Rock Studio & Guitar Gallery, The Music Emporium, Carter Vintage Guitars, The North American Guitar channels!
@LindsayStraw I was joking Lindsay 🤣 - watching you play inspires me to pick up a guitar, when often I only do that if I'm writing a new song. I've shared your channel with a number of my musician friends and they also love your playing
Lindsay You're an awesome musician!!! Thank you for sharing some Brouwer with us!!! I'm going to go play some of his etudes. Appreciate the inspiration 🙏 as a Classical guitarist I like some pieces played on steel string some more than nylon for the different colors. Take care 🙏 You're going to make me pull out my steel string😂
I love your interpretation of these studies. I find your performances of these studies more interesting than other recordings I've listened to. I actually prefer these pieces on the steel strung guitar or maybe it is how you play them. The secret is in how they are played.
I'm a simple man, I hear Lindsay play a droney tune, I click like👍Cool source too - and thank you for always taking your time to share all these details about the tune and the tuning!
Lindsay, could you please make a tutorial on how to play Hares on the Montains? There's not planty of tutorials on RU-vid, besides most of them are wrong. You are the only one that was able to get that right. Please think about it 🙏🏼
The sliding D chord is my favorite chord of all time., especially going from C up to D. Fantastic arrangement. Andy Irvine, voice squad and now Lindsey Straw
I do like the bouzouki videos as I generally have the tenor guitar tuned the same way. Will be giving this one a try over the coming weeks I think. Thank you Lindsay.
Really beautiful! The Bouzouki has a beautiful character which enhances the performance! I don’t know anything about Bouzouki. Is that a standard tuning for that instrument or are you using an altered tuning relative to the instrument? In any case it works beautifully !
I use GDAD, which is probably the most common tuning among folks who play Irish bouzouki and Irish music. Some folks do use standard mandolin GDAE, and a few use ADAD.
Lovely tune Lindsay and very well played. Gorgeous sound from your Jewitt guitar. I just looked up "who plays Jewitt guitars" and only your name came up. Not what I was expecting.
Very sensitive and quiet expression of this song about Ireland under English domination. I first heard this song on Planxty's 2nd Album (sung by Andy Irvine?). It took me a while to realize that the narrator left his true love (much like Kathleen Ni Houlihan, the spirit of Ireland), and ends up in the pay of England's overseas army.
