hi FJohn Sharp, mahanpots and any one else I may have upset, this was not my intention. off course your right - each to there own way and the more ways the better. I’m way to demanding on myself as are my expectations of what I listen to from others (v/ low boredom threshold). Sure its a great tune ...

hi John where do we start with this one - mmmmm No no no we don't do that in trad music or any music for that matter - learn someone else's version that is, its not karaoke. listen to the tune played by as many different people / instruments as possible. Learn the tune then express it as you feel it...

hey all a subject dear to my heart. as rightly stated by s1m0n above listen to the great singers or talkers in Dylans case to me he “talks in speaks, in tune” to my ears. ( I prefer Paul Buchanan of The Blue Nile) Think of rhythm as a grid, we are taught to “play” on the “lines” off the grid pattern...

hi Harlow Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh of “Kittie Lie Over” CD ( rated NO.1 Irish Trad. ALBUM OF 2003 ) among others has been playing one for a while making them tres coooool therefore desirable and probably worth good money. Have you heard any trad Norwegian music played on the Hardanger fiddle - very wo...

hi Julian A good place to start to inform your self would be here as it combines “celtic” with lute music played on guitar, much of this music was in fact very old Scots harp music and thankfully notated by lutiers for the Scots courts before it vanished forever from memory. scroll down to hear MP3’...

hi all Jim do you know what your getting yourself into? I’ll introduce myself to this topic with some tunes over on MySpace so you get an idea of what I’m talkin about. Two tunes in two tunings on acoustic guitar The Tree of Strings and Warrens Clean Slate and the rest of the music (mostly) on guita...

oops this was missed from my earlier reply and Gregory reminded me. As with any instrument I would’nt restrict it’s potential to the country it was developed in otherwise I’d play flamenco on guitar and the whole american guitar thing would’nt have happened, I don't think you’d have it that way?. I ...
