@moriley7615 5 лет назад

What I like about this style of playing is the middle road, the second tune. You start somewhere, travel, and land. There's flight to it. Good sets!

Never heard the first song but know banshee and Cooleys well. Definitely will be playing this set in future, thank you sir

@NiiloSirola 3 года назад

Thanks! The first reel was used (at least in Finland) in a cod-liver oil advert back in the day when everyone watched TV, and it's still known as Möller's reel over here :D

@MrMusicguyma 5 лет назад

I love this tune. Years ago I regularly backed up a great electric mandolinist with my guitar on this tune. Now, I'll learn the lead myself. ;)

@CHewittMedia 4 года назад

Hi, great playing. Just subbed. Do you have these tunes just as a backing track for lead practice? Love that bouzouki sound.

@NiiloSirola 4 года назад

Thanks! I don’t think the backing tracks would be easy to play along to as I recorded the lead first and the accompaniment follows that rhythmically without much spine of its own :)

@konstantineguruli 7 лет назад

Hello, Niilo, your performance is great and I love The Congress Reel. I want ask you a question, probably it sounds bit stupid, but still, I am singing some Irish Folk songs and I want to make accompaniment with instrument. I think that 5 string banjo is the hardest, the second hardest is tenor banjo, then acoustic guitar and easiest of all these is classic guitar. Am I right ? Thank you.

@NiiloSirola 7 лет назад

Hey! Depends on what instrument you play already. I've never seen a song accompanied with a banjo alone though, it does not work very well for playing chords. Myself I prefer to accompany with a bouzouki, mainly because it's only 4 courses of strings so easier to control while singing

@kokindenom Год назад

Merci

@lucasw3490 4 года назад

Sounds great! What tuning are you using?

@NiiloSirola 4 года назад

Thanks, it's standard tenor banjo tuning, so GDAE (from bottom to top)

@cloudboy7750 8 лет назад

Hi there! Nice playing and sound. Was just wondering if you had any issues using the heavier gauge 'Irish' tenor banjo strings? For example, was there any neck movement?

@NiiloSirola 8 лет назад

+cloud boy No issues because it was set up this way already at the shop. (string gauges 11-18w-26w-36w). Definite improvement over my first banjo that definitely was not meant for this tuning.

@marvinthemaniac7698 4 года назад

I used to want a mandolin, now I want to trade my 5-string for an Irish tenor banjo.

@jayherrmann5164 5 месяцев назад

This sounds great, thank you. What banjo are you playing? I am an amateur mandolin player who want to play tenor banjo. Resonator is not for me and I have trouble finding a quality open back tenor.

@NiiloSirola 5 месяцев назад

Hi! It’s Pilgrim Celtic Dawn Model 2. It was pretty smooth transition from mandolin for me as well. This is louder than a mandolin in a session but not outrageous :)

@spunnek75 7 лет назад

Hey that sounds nice. I would recommend another skin on your tenor banjer . You need a smooth one with snow coat on the inside. It will improve the sound a lot, since the rough skin is typically for the 5 string bluegrass banjers

@NiiloSirola 7 лет назад

Interesting point. I've tried a couple of banjos with the kind of head you describe and they sounded kind of plastic-y to me, but to be fair they were cheaper models... I'll have to try and spot more banjos with smooth head and try them out before I go messing with mine though.

@paulchignell8341 7 лет назад

The Remo head is great for bluegrass but I would recommend an "Elite" to give a slightly fuller and less bright sound but I would be happy to be corrected by those who know more about such things. Nice playing. Accuracy and tempo are far more important than pure speed.

@davestambaugh7282 6 лет назад

In Ireland they like the sound of a mylar head. In the US they prefer the looks of the renasance head. It is about the appearance not the sound. Myself I like to plant my pinky and I do not like the loud scuffing sound you get on a rough surfaced head.
