Thanks Shannon! You are the best for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I love how well researched you are about the history of the tune you are teaching.
Hey ! Thank you ! Thank you ! 😊🎉 your the best ! ❤ can’t wait to work on this when I get home ! One of the best tunes ever 😊. Love your interpretation of it and you inspired me today ! 😊
Dynamite!!! Thank you so much. This tune is such a beast, and when listening/watching the likes of Orlaith McAuliffe & Stephen Doherty play this tune it's hard to get a feel for the bones of the tune underneath all the ornamentation. Extremely helpful, again, many, many thanks!
Mighty work Shannnon, thanks a mill! It was Conal’s version that got me trying to learn this tune ages ago. The GBAC figure that starts the final lick of almost every part has been a pain in my rear for years. Especially with cross fingered C natural. Just realised that it might get easier once I get my C nat key repadded and back in business, it might be easier played with a key than trying to punch in almost all the possible combinations of the three left hand fingers in less than a second 😂 Anyone else have any issues with that particular bit?
Also I love the way you carry on with that lick playing (GBAC) Bdeg fdCA BGG instead of the Bdce dBCA BGG that I’ve either picked up from somewhere or just mislearned it like that because it feels logical. Playing it up to g adds lift, flair and drama.
I love my C key and use it lots. But I actually think GBAC is easier with the cross fingered C. So glad that you, too, first fell into Colonel Fraser from Top of Coom. That's an iconic performance/setting. It has been fun over the years to marry that with John McKenna 's moves.
