Listening to Celtic guitar and Irish guitar can introduce you to a whole host of new sonic experiences and principles that you may not be aware of. In this video, I'm diving into 10 must-hear Celtic guitarists that have left me speechless and my mind BLOWN! 🤯
One of the best ways to learn a new genre or style of music is to find the most inspirational players and listen to them. So, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I'm highlighting 10 inspirational Celtic guitarists that just absolutely blew me away.
I've learned a ton about Irish and Celtic music in preparation for this episode, and I'm excited to share with you some of my discoveries about the rich musical history and tradition of these genres.
In addition to celebrating St. Patrick's Day with you, I want to revisit a topic we talked about a few weeks back: practicing 10 minutes a day. I have an exciting story to share with you that should help dispel any doubts about the TAC Method.
Last but not least, I've got my weekly picks of the acoustic guitar news you can use!

How did you miss Stephen Wake? Without a doubt, he's the champion of the modern Celtic world. Phenomenal guitarist!

@EmrystheCelt Год назад

love stephen wakes work

@Themadcelticshoe Год назад

I wish this comment was from Stephen wake

@robertables1761 Месяц назад

Agree!!! I came here to ask the same question. Steven Wake is so remarkable!!!

@robertbarker5105 3 года назад

My wife and I spent 4 months in Ireland in 2014, until we basically got kicked out for staying a little too long. There is nothing like sitting in a pub, Guinness, or Murphy’s, in hand and listening to local talent. Slainte!

@Morten_Nielsen1979 3 года назад

Kicked out of Ireland! Why?

@jeffhatcher6778 3 года назад

Someone else brought him up...but I will second it. Stephen Wake has some really solid fingerstyle work, and makes his transcriptions available for a reasonable price. His original composition "Loch Ness" is a truly beautiful piece.

@michaellaverty1844 3 года назад

Richard Thompson, even when he’s rocking out it sounds Celtic to me. He’s one of my all time favorite Guitarist.

@stephenbouchelle7706 3 года назад

He’s a whole ‘nother level.

@sesa1076 3 года назад

Fuckin awful voice. Never understood the opinion.

@tomeisenmenger7048 3 года назад

There's definitely a Celtic flavor to Richard's work (and I, for one, think his voice is magnificent as it well suits his music). I noticed that Paul Brady's picking here is very similar to Thompson's hybrid picking - pick held by thumb and index finger for picking bass notes and last three fingers for fingerpicking the higher notes.

@herkhaston1915 3 года назад

He has a great voice it must be your ears

@terrymattingly6843 3 года назад

DUDE. Salute the late, great master of them all -- John Renbourn! Black Balloon and Nine Maidens are touchstone CDs. Also, how can you miss the range and influential work of Al Petteway?

@timwhistler5882 3 года назад

great video tony.some celtic guitarists old and new: J.P Cormier , Bert Jansch , John Renbourne, Clive Carrol, Davy graham {he's the dude that kind of brought DADGAD as a celtic/folk Tuning to the Fore} Steve Baughman ,Duck Baker, pierre Bensusan,Martin Carthy , Tom Long, El McMeen .There are a few there. Check out Stephan grossman's Series of Instruction materials.Hes got books and or DVD instruction videos by many of the above mentioned.

@made_in_scotland 3 года назад

I'll go with recommendations of Martin Simpson, Bert Jansch, Dougie Maclean, Ewan McLennan, Martin Cathy, Kris Drever, John Renbourn, Nic Jones, Blair Dunlop, Davy Graham, Jim Malcolm, John Martyn, Nick Drake. I'll leave it there 😂.

@judithriggs4230 3 года назад

Rory Gallagher does some Celtic style.. with his acoustic, his 1932 National Resonator, mandolin, banjo. Listen to "Will ye go Lassie go" . Such beautiful delicate playing from this beautiful Irishman. Gary Moore has also done some Celtic 🎵 music.. he's a fantastic guitarist from Ireland (like Rory)

@abrahamtomahawk 3 года назад

One awesome celtic guitarist would be Pierre Bensuson. Aslo, as you appear to have done already, check out music from the Celtic Connections festival which is shown on BBC Alba (Scotland's Gaelic language tv station).

@russstotyn2193 3 года назад

Daithi Sproule has been on the Irish music scene for over 50 years, including the band Skara Brae with Michael O’Domhnaill (pronounced “Donnell” BTW).

@garymelnyk7910 3 года назад

I am surprised only comment mentions Steve Cooney. He’s subtle, and a catalyst, the Ry Cooder of Celtic Guitar. Just breathtaking live.

@jbcarseiii 3 года назад

Dick Gaughan has a record “Coppers & Brass” it’s all flatpicking and is absolutely 🔥 and one of my favorite records of all time.

@amritawhitman8112 3 года назад

El McMeen fingerpicker plays in CGDGAD French Pierre Bensusan finger picker does some some Celtic tunes I saw him in Ann Arbor , Mich at the Ark Pierre Bensusan is smoking jaw dropping , Duck Baker finger picker. John Renbourn & Stefan Grossman finger pickers

@carlcurtis 3 года назад

Great to see your choosing John Doyle. My wife, daughters, and I saw him live in Southside, VA nine years ago and talked with him after the show. A very gracious, friendly man and, in my view, the best acoustic rhythm guitarist in "Celtic" music. Plays a good lead too!

@tonysturgill6624 3 года назад

Martin Simpson is a primo Celtic guitarist as well

@malcolmbrewer 3 года назад

@stephenbouchelle7706 3 года назад

@ScottRandall31 3 года назад

That's a cool way to preserve the Gibson heritage! And it will expose it to more people.

@ScottRandall31 3 года назад

It would definitely make me consider visiting Kalamazoo!

@CitizenKained23 3 года назад

Happy St. Patricks Day from Ireland! Love the video as always but felt I had to add a couple more players for your inspirational Celtic players! Two of my favourites, Pierre Bensusan and Stephen Wake, well worth checking out both of these guys

@kleinmankj 3 года назад

Martin Simpson does many many fingerstyle things amazingly. His most Celtic album is When I Was On Horseback. John Renbourn is here already, so throw in his Pentangle partner Bert Jansch.

@toddspianoservice2374 3 года назад

Nice show guys.

@rustythoughts 3 года назад

Stephen Wake is worth a listen, originally from Scotland, lots of recordings and transcriptions on Bandcamp, elegant delicate player with immaculate tone and technique in the same line as Tony McManus. The Spanish band, La Musgaña, is mostly flute and whistle led, but features Carlos Beceiro who is a master of Celtic guitar style in accompaniment that is both beautiful and very pragmatic, and he breaks out some great stuff when he takes the lead. Also a good place to hear how much the music tradition of the north of Spain has in common with Irish and French folk music. Check out the album Entre Dos, (also has some lovely moments featuring a baritone guitar, which is a really interesting voice). Pierre Bensusan, particularly his early stuff, features lots of tradition Celtic material, including some less common Breton stuff. Great to see him play live, he'll push himself and take risks and has played a great show every time I've seen him. (The Michael Hedges piece, Bensusan, is named for Pierre.)

@guitarvicg 3 года назад

The former Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, MI was not actually vacant in the last 10 years but rather was occupied by ex-Gibson employees building handmade Gibson-esque guitars under the name Heritage Guitars. I was happy to know that guitars were still being built in that factory but the news of it being converted into a hotel actually saddens me a little for a "golden" time gone by. My hope is that the HR hotel will pay appropriately due respect to the "heritage" of iconic guitar building in that location. Allow me to add a plug for the book "Kalamazoo Gals" by John Thomas who wrote about the amazing women who built the Banner Gibson acoustic guitars in that factory during the early 40s in place of the men who fought in WW II.

@BobPerrone 3 года назад

Regarding William Coulter - check out his "The Road Home" album. Very pleasing collection and terrific performance. Enjoyed the Irish/Celtic theme of the show! I have to also make a shout out to Rory Gallagher - Irish legend who also was a acoustic legend along with his expertise on the Stratocaster - just sayin'.... ;0)

@lindasmith6316 3 года назад

Yes, thank you for mentioning Rory!

@roberthogg324 3 года назад

Having grown up in the Kalamazoo area, I too am a little torn on the idea of turning the old Gibson guitar factory into a hotel. I was fortunate enough to tour the factory on a field trip back in the 70's when I was a middle school student. One of the most memorable experiences from my childhood. It will be hard to see it modernized but on the other hand the old factory is definitely in need of repairs. This may be the only way to save what remains.

Clive Carroll, not exlusively a celtic player but when he does play celtic he absolutley destroys it! Definitely one of my favorites...

@davymactube 3 года назад

You could add some contemporary Belfast guitarists to your list: Gary Lutton, Gavin Ferris, Colin Reid, David Browne Murray, Jackie Rainey and Davy Watson. They're all magnificent.

@Deebemc Месяц назад

Great vid, Paul. Some brilliant exponents for sure. Davey Graham who went and championed DADGAD tuning, drove “ Celtic” guitar amongst other things. He wanted to be able to delve into Irish and Scottish bagpipe tunes. His album The Compleat Guitarist album is worth a listen. Pierre Bensusan must be on anyone’s list to listen to. Irish and Scottish music sound similar but like their Gaelic, wonderfully different……..but all very danceable! Thanks for posting.

@bosmith2587 3 года назад

SOOOO happy to see Paul Brady mentioned on here!! Imo, there's no one better in all of Trad. Yes, that's a bold statement, and I'll die on its' hill!! lol seriously though, when i first Mary And The Soldier (which is really even more difficult than Arthur McBride to play well) I could not get it out of my head. I listened to just the guitar part over and over over. Same with Arthur McBride, and then the Lakes of Pontchartrain as well. I sat down and learned those sings painstakingly, for hours and hours, and I STILL can't play them as fluidly as him. In addition, his flatpicking with Matt Molloy and Tommy Peoples is absolutely sensational, and I honestly haven't heard a tighter right hand that can do as much as his. He's an absolutely amazing, one of a kind artist, and it always bugs the hell outta me that he never gets mentioned among great guitar players, singers, or songwriters. So thanks Tony, for mentioning him! I hope more people discover him and become entranced just like i was, and still am.

@beatriced8184 3 года назад

Nice episode Tony! more names come to mind but i'll give 2 for now, John Doyle and Declan O'Rourke

@dongadal2686 3 года назад

Tony one artist that has to be looked at who crosses into the Celtic, folk, bluegrass genre is J.P Cormier... you actually have seen him performing for a Boucher guitars.. He has something on RU-vid with him and Tim Edey... wow.

@CBBluesman 3 года назад

His RU-vid Channel has a Covid Concert "Primary Color Live From Gingers Barn" which is absolutely incredible.A must watch.

@guitarzana688 3 года назад

Love the Celtic music and musicians. I hope the Gibson/Hard Rock Hotel goes great. I am glad something is being done with the current building and not just demolished and new whatever being built in its place.

@bobhunter5237 21 день назад

Jenn Butterworth is a simply amazing Scottish Trad guitarist who teaches in Glasgow at the Scottish Conservatoire. And, her voice is butter.

@adrianred236 3 года назад

Hi from Ireland. Belated happy st Patricks. Yea you are very much correct about the guitar prominently being a back up instrument in traditional music. Over here it's referred to as "Trad Guitar". Interesting point about Paul Brady, he wrote "Paradise is Here" which Tina Turner covered.

@MrStradia 3 года назад

@guitardude4700 3 года назад

@pauljenkins2501 3 года назад

Thanks for including Tim Edey in your top 10. He is an amazing player, both on guitar and melodian. And a lovely man as well. Interestingly, he generally plays Yamaha nylon strung electro acoustic guitars, in "straight from the crate" configuration. No changes of pickup or special edition guitars. I attended a workshop where he talked about going on tour, in Canada. The airline mislaid his guitar. He had a concert to do that night. What was he going to do? Answer - walk into a music shop in downtown whichever big city he was in, buy a Yamaha nylon strung electro acoustic straight off the wall of the shop, and go ahead and play the concert.....

@tonysturgill6624 3 года назад

Tony, you need to hear Stephen Wake from the Orkneys in Scotland. Mind blowing tone and technique.

@Keep-on-picking 3 года назад

Hi Tony I’m the listener from Japan you introduced in the last program. Regarding Gibson Kalamazoo plant which is going to be renewed as hotel and visitors place. I want the project owner to consider to set up a guitar related showroom or hand-on premises, where the craftsman show their work on making inlays on guitars, building guitars or repairing. If they realize it, I want to visit there in the future.

@DjNikGnashers 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for showcasing this music. I play acoustic fingerstyle folk music, and also find it the most beautiful of all guitar music. I play music by Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Nick Drake, John Martyn, Dave Evans, as a few examples, and would love to hear you showcase this English folk style. The 10 minute rule is great, and I always try to play for 15minutes every day even if I don't feel like playing. Usually after a couple of minutes I think 'glad I picked it up, I'm enjoying it now', and play for longer, but even if I don't, the 15 minutes usually is enough to reinforce the learning connections in my brain and muscle memory.

I use to live in Kalamazoo and many were unhappy that Gibson moved. The hotel would be a nice addition to the community and enhance a visit to the city. Perhaps it would heal and pay respect to the history that was created. Bell's brewery is also a great place to visit.

@mikehogan2657 3 года назад

Dáithí Sproule is one who has been my favorite for years.

@johneckstein6912 3 года назад

Another nod to Daithi Sproule post Sara Brae. He currently lives in the Minneapolis St. Paul area. He continues to be one of the two guitarists in Altan and tours with them in their American tours. He has several more recent solo CDs of both playing and singing. Most of his accompaniment with Altan is in DADGAD. Altan is worth checking out on its own with two fiddles, two guitars, bouzouki, button box and great vocals.

@ryanknuckles8747 3 года назад

Great show as always Tony! I joined TAC a few months ago, and I have been recently experimenting with DADGAD (Celtic) alternative tuning. I have been mostly playing my Blueridge BR-341 parlor guitar for this tuning. In your opinion what tone-wood combinations, guitar body types, and brands have you found are best for alternative tunings?

Oh and that harmonics world record is just incredible! Last comment - DO NOT GET RID OF THE BEARD! It‘s your signature, Tone, so keep it growing. Just pull it up in a bun while you‘re with the little tike! ;-) Stay safe, stay healthy, and guitar geeks unite!

@kimrichert4991 3 года назад

As I saw alluded to below, some of the ex-Gibson employees that did not want to relocate (so the story was told), stayed on and made the Heritage line of guitars in part of this structure. While I never owned one, I played several, and they were quite nice! I currently hail from N'awlins and I can only hope that the outcome of this "remodel" is less troubled than the one HR tried to do in our fair city!

I will be honest, I was expecting early late 90s, early 2000's, performance this season after the losses, but wow the youngsters are killing it. Honestly, if this is the coaches doing, he has earned some respect from me, who has disliked him from day 1.

Pierre Bensusan was a trailblazer in DADGAD Irish guitar tunes. Another young player who follows in the style of John Doyle is Canadian Quinn Bachand. Check out his recent RU-vid with Allison DeGroot and lots of videos going back years when he was a young kid.
