@@pauloconnor6331 thanks Paul, I will do my best to keep the tunes coming, in both formats! 💪🏼🎻🎶

Ahh I think that I learnt it a long time ago (30 years!) from O’ Neill’s 1001 Irish Dance tunes. I can’t keep up with it all, I do try mind 🤣🎻

Thank you! I guess that I should do a non-learner version soon 🎻

Hi John, thank you! I learnt to play trebles, UDU and that is where my comfort zone is when playing tunes. Ideally, if you’re inclined towards pushing the bar much higher with trebles, then you’d want learn them DUD as well, just for versatility. As for how, my approach starts with pressing the bow into the string, mostly using the right hand index finger, so that the hair grips the string. Play two very short bows (grip) followed by a longer bow that gets you to the next note/beat of the tune. It’s not a perfect explanation, but I hope that it helps!

Hi Bruce, you're not wrong! Reels (ril) were originally bought to Scotland from mainland Europe, as the 'Quadrille', just as much as jigs were orignally 'Gigues'. The Slip jig is notable as being the only true dance form to originate from Ireland (as far as current knowledge allows), and nowhere else. A lot of imports happening with music!!

reels come from the scandinavia word ryl..to stagger. jigs are of english origins. but reel dance and music are scottish. fiddle reels/music are indigenous to scotland. there were many scottish composers of note in scotland. type in .........the jig dance tradition: five centuries old and still counting.......then.........jig | irish, reel & hornpipe | btitannica.......then......music essays | traditional irish- ireland.......then......irish traditional music-feature ask about ireland.......

@@brucecollins641 yep, the Quadrille (4 part reel) is Scandinavian, but probably older in origin. Reels are Scottish, but the form (dance), is older and from elsewhere. Like everything else in life.

Ps. This is not me arguing with you, I’ve done my homework and draw from sound (not the internet/wikipedia) research.

@@matttarling am jist stating that many , many irish tunes are actually scottish very popular in irish music sessions but are now listed as irish jist like many scottish and english sangs adopted in the 70s. if you draw from sound then you will hear scottish ...drrum.....drrum.. bagpipe style in american fiddle style. a have to say a have also done ma research. james scott skinner, neil gow 1727-1807, also his son nathaniel and more had a huge impact on irish fiddle reel music. type in........the great scot:scottish fiddle legend neil gow's influence lives on|strings magazine.......then........the fiddlers and composers | elphinstone kist | elphstine institute aberdeen......then........william marshal's scottish melodies fiddlecasebooks........then.....james scott skinner the irish tne composers page......irish traditional music carrowkeel.......'

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thanks! I will see what I can do. Is there a particular setting/version that you'd like to hear?

Thanks Bruce, I’ve updated the description. 👍🏼 I’m often in a hurry to record and upload tunes for my students (I’m crazy busy sometimes), and that can leave me slightly neglectful of important details!

Yes, absolutely!

Thank you!
