Just Us: Irish Guitar Podcast

Irish Guitar Podcast

Friday, March 30, 2007

Well planned, thoughtfully rendered as free PDF practice sheets with MP3 audio podcast instructions full of tips, guest-artists and examples, every Monday a new tune is illustrated by Australian Trad and Bluegrass guitarist Tony O'Rourke and Gerry Gaffney, first class lessons in how to play your reels and jigs up to speed and in the tradition. This is the future of cultural transmission, one tune at a time.

We cover one tune per week and Gerry asks the questions and I give the answers. I also play the tune through very slowly, and then at the normal tempo,with accompaniment. A booklet of the tunes, with scale exercises,explanatory notes,accompaniment, and recommended links to other websites, is available

we don't do a lot of shows in a year; small children add a bit of transport inertia, but we do manage a few spots here and there -- if you want to chat, we'd love to hear from you, so just send us email and let's see where it goes from there.
