I was playing with some odd tunings when I wrote this one. The lyrics were inspired by my Nan, who was telling me about her musical roots in Ireland.
This was the first song I recorded onto youtube! That is why the sound is so bad, as I didn't have great equipment. It is still popular, though, and I am quite fond of it. I was saying "Don't move", because the camera was moving!
I wrote this song in the fields you can see in the pictures i took. Nice and mellow song, that reminds me of summery times...
Something with some quick slap and pop in it. I teach how to play this style in my video "Red hot Slap and pop:
And here we have the "sequel" to the above video! Slightly different way of approaching this one. I "hit" the strings, with a bit of metal, to get that weird metallic slide type of sound.
Sometimes when I have lots of ideas, I just turn the camera on for a while, and watch back to see if there are any ideas I can create anything from. This is just something random in that jam that I picked out. I then decided to turn myself green. Like a sprout.
And if you are interested in the music I have created in my bands (there is a lot, and it will take me years to archive it) then click here!
