Well done I am a Scottish Celtic player learning DADGAD and find absolutely nothing on strumming patterns this is very useful. Keep the lessons coming.the 🤩👍
Interesting- thanks Jenna. Your right about the lack of online content for accompanying Scottish music - I've got away with bog standard chords for this sort of thing for years (you've heard me do it on multiple occasions in the pub over the years). How would you like to talk a little about the more modern approach to chords for accompaniment please, and I'll steal some of your knowledge 😊
Thank you for this. I played in the school céilí band when I was 14 and quit guitar so i could dance instead. Now picking up guitar again in my 50's, this takes me back. Much appreciate this lesson👍
Ta for this. I'm basically a whistle player who plays a bit of basic guitar. I'll be interested in seeing some of your Scottish stuff as I want to learn how to play some tunes properly for a change😊
Great intro to jig accompaniment. You could also mention striving to do it mostly with the wrist with an anchored arm rather than fatiguing your arm and elbow strumming with the whole arm or forearm. Ask my tennis elbow. I love the way you talk too.
@@jennamacrory4699 Fabulous! Iontach ar fad! :) There are so few lessons on Celtic trad flatpicking. Most of them are bluegrass. It would be so fantastic to have a few. Especially the reel. What are yer few favourite reels you like to flatpick, Jenna? Have a nice weekend! Tomó
@@jennamacrory4699 ps: Yeh, I got more time to write now. I would add that there are plenty of lessons for the fidil by Kevin Burke, Máiréid Ní Mhaonaigh or flute by Shannon Heaton but almost non for the guitar in Irish trad. And I almost forgot, what plectrum do you use? I use a Dunlop Nylon 0.60mm but wish there were something between it and the 0.73mm; like a 0.63-0.65mm with more punch but still bright enough for my taste and less clicky than the 0.60mm. Cheers! Mise le meas.
Thanks so much for that, just starting with guitar and interested in Celtic music.Very easy to follow your tutorial and i managed to strum the 6/8 with 2 triplets so fantastic lesson.Thanks from Australia🎸
Aw that's great Terry I'm so glad that you're making progress!! I'm glad you've just got into this music, you're at the start of a very exciting journey!
Hi, Trying to learn this, your video is very helpful. I have carefully watched this video multiple times. Here is what I learned, so correct me if I am wrong. Basic pattern is triplet times two. Strokes are dn/up/dn. In practice they became dn/dn/up. It seems like you changed the pattern when you went from one string to partial cords. The use of partial cords is important to give the correct tone. Also, seems like there is a little muting going on to minimize the ringing sound and to emphasize the beat. Again thanks for the very helpful video. It was short and packed with info and technique.
