thanks for this video, Im coming to the Bouzouki from the Seagull Merlin Dulcimer(tuned DADD) so the Bouzoukis (GGDDAADD) makes alot of sense but is still intimidating for a non musician. this video gave me some confidence that the modal chords im used to still apply in many ways!
I have a Octave Mandolin can I take these Irish Bouzouki lessons to learn how to play it? I have been told that a Octave Mandolin is basically a short scale bouzouki, is that true?
Very good lesson, thank you for sharing that with me. I have recently bought an Irish Bouzouki and just getting used to the tuning (G,D,A,D) and finding it a bit tricky as I've been playing the guitar for over 15 years but it's just a matter of time and practice to get used to it. I appreciate videos like these, it's helpful as another thing I really wanted to see was the way someone else rests the instrument on their knee as the shape to the Bouzouki body is more rounded.
@@onlineacademyofirishmusic Y como consigo esa cuenta si no me deja seguir? He empezado a rellenar el formulario y no me deja seguir al llegar al final... Se para en el de inscribirme en 14 dias al llegar al final.. miren el error .. la fecha esta desactualizada, ademas
He's not saying 'chords' he's saying 'course'. On a stringed musical instrument a course is either a single string or two strings situated next to each other. So when he says 'D course' he's referring to the D string/s. Hope that helps.
