Hi Matt! Always a delight to watch your crafty and easy to understand lessons 😺 I never felt comfie with muting strings, but I guess there is little improvement if it’s always comfie. I hope you shall give a proper flatpicking lesson one day. In US there are many really good flatpick guitar players who play Irish tunes but they sound most of the time bluegrassy. I love what Flynn Cohen does, as well as John Doyle and Dónal Clancy :) But I saw you were just as fine. See you next Sat and have a pleasant week Shannon too 😉 ps: hope Nigel comes with some colourful drawings again. Cute kid.
Muting strings is yet another fun thing... to try or not! And of course we also love dear Flynn. Here are some reels at our home with Flynn/Matt: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pbxdLO6tEGQ.html
@@MattHeatonMusicForKids Hi Matt. I practice more muting now. I am sure I’ll get better soon at it :) I just need to get used to it. Well done it adds a little percussive flavour. I just watched your video and really enjoyed the high drone and bass notes licks :) And with the capo on 2 it shall do great on D major tunes. Thanks again 😉 Also since you sometimes play Breton tunes and I wasnglad to see you with the mighty Liz Carol I was wondering if you ever played with Rolland Conq? Cause he also played with her. That was an awesome quartet with John Doyle and Liz Carol. :)
@@ShannonHeatonMusic Trugarez dit, Shannon! 😺 I already saw it but forgot the link, thanks. And when they play the melody together in the middle is great. (Flynn got an fancy hat.) Would be beautiful on an album some day. Maybe with a 2-3 songs in between. I loved your voice when you sang a few weeks ago. I might learn the one of those reels. Now I am still working on improving my tempo and learning Dowd’s Favourite reel and Sonny Brogan’s jig.
Another inspirational tutorial! I sense from your many videos you're a fan of the no-third (and I concur). But would there be spots in a tune where you'd accentuate the third for effect?
absolutely. I tell people thirds are like hot sauce. I don't want to slather everything I eat in heat, but sometimes there is nothing like it! I find I often will add a third if I'm staying on a chord for a couple bars, often in the bass leading up to the four. so 1 chord, 1/3 chord, 4 chord, 5 chord kind of thing.
