Irish Bouzouki: Pipe on the Hob, Cliffs of Moher 

so very sweet

Really nice playing! Two great tunes, and they go together very well.

I love Pipe On the Hob. This one instrument version is quite powerful. For the complexity of a full band arrangement, The Bothy Band performance is highly recommended.

I can't tell you how happy that made me listening to these wonderful tunes. Thankyou

I love Greek Bouzouki cause i am from Greece but i must say that Irsih Bouzouki is also an awsome instrument. And the tune and playing is also great. Greetings from Greece.

Superb!

Amazing

I love that beautiful music sound was on a bouzouki I think of sound was Johnny Cash

Great tunes on a great instrument,

Excellent! Great job with so consistent a partial-dotted lilt and steady tempo. You must be a welcome player at many good sessiuns.

Wonderful musician playing a wonderful irish music.

Awesome playing!

Sweet!

I am just starting out on Irish Bouzouki and your videos are inspirational. Thanks for sharing your music.

Sounds great

Just amazing! I love it!

Amazing!!

I very much liked your cross picking technique! Never saw it being used to play bouzouki!

Lovely

Very fine and tasteful. BRAVO!!!

A fine instrument and a fine player combined, magnificently played. I can only wonder if the six "thumbs-down" must be insanely jealous, disgruntled banjo pluckers.

Wow man. You killed it. Keep posting.

Perfect as ever my friend 🤗

Great job!

Folks one missing item! the Irish Bouzouki has the "G" string & the "D" strings set up as octave with the "A" string & "E" strings in unison. The set up I play most is G-D-A-E however many down tune the "E" to a "D" which is also good if you like that sound. In a number of books the G-D-A-E is called Irish, same tuning as violin, mandolin, the G-D-A-D tuning is called standard tuning, "No' I don't know why! Just is! I like the twang sound that one hears from the Irish Bouzouki a little bit like (but not really) a banjo sound. I have several and only one is set up as a octave mandolin, the other 3 are in some kind of tuning but different. The lad above is a very good player, thanks for the fun in my ears!

Great Man! keep on

this is the way i want to try and play it! back tu thee woode shedde

Great playing! I closed my eyes and pictured the highlands before me while listening to your playing. Thank you.

This sounds really great !! But it's not an easy task to to learn it by ear...

I wonder, can you make them up on the go? Enjoyed your videos, thx for posting it.

Just recently purchased an Irish Bouzouki & the Zan McLeod DVD (spelling , I know haha) and am trying to learn though it is difficult as I have little to no experience previously with a guitar-type of instrument (bold, I know but couldn't help myself with this instrument). Any recommendations on how to effectively learn how to play it, other than the DVD?

sounds great, so I assume the capo 7th fret takes it up an octave and makes easier to play? I have a 5 course cittern myself DGDAD and find it a lot easier to play at the 5th or higher frets

It is great. Is there a tab or something to play it?

Gdad will you get me one for Christmas? XD

That is wicked picking! I would love to play this on my Mandolin...do you play this on Mandolin as well?

Great tunes! I have a newbie question for you: does it make a difference when you play having the strap tied to the headstock as opposed to being attached to a button where the neck meets the body? Why do you choose wearing the strap this way?

Wonderful playing! Thanks for sharing the tuning in another comment. One more question ... what picking pattern are you using? The video is blurred, so its hard to see what your right hand is doing. I'm guessing you're hitting the downstroke on beats 1 & 4, otherwise alternating. Is that right? cheers, Brendan

Nice I’ve got a goldtone but i want to upgrade what is that you’re playing

are there tabs to this?

Is that GDAD tuning? and why the capo, is it to hard to reach in open position?

enjoyed that, good stuff. what tuning are you using ? thanks

Nice playing, do you know the blind harper by any chance?.

dude I'm playing 6 years tenor banjo and cant get your rhythm or my own. please dude help me. listening to you along time your magic...

Sounds great! Do you not use your pinky to play?

Awesome, I have bought an irish bouzouki a few days ago, where can I find this tab or sheet music?

How well does a mandolin translate to this?

There must be a huge difference between Greek bouzouki and Irish bouzouki.

Umm, you have way too much musical talents in one body.

Kinda has that dorian medieval sound to it.
