Paddy on the Turnpike + Tommy's Tarbukas -- Fiddle
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ม.ค. 2015
- Here is Paddy on the Turnpike and Tommy's Tarbukas! Tommy's Tarbukas was written by Alasdair Fraser, and it is one of the hardest fiddle tunes I've ever tried to play... It's one of those tunes that will tie your left hand in a knot, and the extra-large string crossings do not help! I've learned that if I plant as many fingers down ahead of time as I can, it helps prevent lots of squeaking---particularly with the B-part. Emphasizing the higher notes a bit also seemed to help. I hope that I still do the tune some justice! I love how Alasdair Fraser plays it so fluently on his CD, "The Road North" -- he makes it sound so easy!
I actually got to meet him several years ago! It was amazing to see him play live. He is a very nice person, and taught a group of us fiddlers a tune that he called the "The Celtic Society's Quickstep." I might make a video of that tune someday--it's really neat!
I learned Paddy on the Turnpike in G minor, but everyone at a jam session had no idea what I was playing until we bumped it up a whole-step to A minor.. oops. I had never heard it in A minor before! Is it much more common to play it in A minor? Well..when in G minor, I think it goes well with Tommy's Tarbukas, so here they are together -- I hope you like it! =)

Really beautiful. You are awesome.

Sounds great and inspiring! Takes me to the sea on a ship.

Awesome!
I always listen to your playing. Love you
Great fiddling and a greater smile! How can anyone dislike these videos?!
@Rumi Natanzi Hi Rumi! Thank you so much for your nice comment! I love Scottish music so much -- I think it's my favorite kind of Celtic-like music to play, although I love Irish, too! I hope you have fun learning lots of fiddle music! There's something so welcoming with fiddle music - I think that's why I like it so much! =) (Sorry I had to post this as a separate comment. I wish I could figure out why TH-cam won't let me directly reply to certain people. It makes me sad... =( )
many thanks
wonderful
Happy Easter
Very very well done.
It's soooo wunderful
You are amazing! I am 13 and I play some Scottish fiddle music and I have been going back and trying to learn some of these tunes. You are absolutely fabulous and this makes me want to keep playing and learn more fiddle music! Btw your swallow tail jig is 😍
Soft on the ear and hard on the foot. Lovely.
The energy I needed this morning!!
So glad I found this...thank so very much.
me too I happy
loved it. this is one of your best. and the sound quality is excellent. just recently discovered you, and am so glad i did. i have shared your video with my friends. God bless you Katy Adelson, do keep it up. we need you. and PS the more i listen to your videos. the more i appreciate your talent. outstanding. love your playing. PS I have listened to this again, and i love the 'bite' that your bow has on the strings. your violin is a beautiful instrument and sounds absolutely great
Great work on this one Katy. I can tell how difficult the Tarbukas part must be ... I can see the concentration in your expression. Both parts were some really top notch fiddling!
Awesome,got me
Killed it, Katy.
amazing 😍😍
Absolutely amazing Katy 👌🏻 I love this tune so much and you play it so well !!! Very uplifting and moving !! Bravo !!!!!!!
The smile in your face lady says everything and the song it's pure magic, once again, EPIC! keep it up :)
+José Antonio Salas Thank you José! I love some of the tunes Alasdair Fraser comes up with - he writes some cool stuff! Thank you for your nice comment, and for listening! =)
Heard something like this called “Congress Reel”. Your version is beautiful.
Bravo. Bravo. Bravo.
i believe we are created and music / arts proves a bit of that
I also met Alasdair, dancing in and out of all the local shops in Beauly, near Inverness, with a whole long line of us playing his tune.
Sadly he passed away not long ago,leaving a big hole in the Scottish fiddle scene.
Duncan -- so cool that you're into Scottish music. I am sorry to hear that a great, obviously, "real deal" trad musician passed away. However, I don't think your "Alisdair" is the same one that is being referenced as the composer of "Tommy's Tarburka's." Alisdair Fraser is alive and well and was not long ago performing near my home town. Alisdair Fraser is a titan of Scottish fiddle players and is highly respected amongst trad players the world over. Please seize any chance you can to see him perform--something to tell your children/grandchildren about!
Nice playing and your beautiful
Hi Katy!
Thanks a lot for being so inspiring, especially for my 9 y.o. kid that plays violin, and just started to play some "celtic" tunes, that are your experty. These two are some of his favourites. We'll keep following you. Keep going that way. XXX
Joao Mascarenhas Thank you so much! =) Celtic music is so much fun, and I hope that he has a great time learning some new tunes. These two are definitely some of my favorite tunes, too! Happy Fiddling! =)
Wonderful good fiddling!
Thanks alot so beautifull 👌👌👌👌👌🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Great music!
fantastic!
+dave dave Yay! Thank you, Dave! ^_^ These tunes are fun! (=
LOVE!!!
Brilliant!
I love this song! I have all ready learned a few
Lovely!❤️
Absolutely amazing
I wish I was half as good as you. I've been recovering from lots of different illnesses that kept me bed bound but you inspire me to pick up my fiddle again. Thank you. also you look like a mix between Emma Watson and another woman who helped me through a difficult time, you are an honest to god picture
Beautifully done!
Very good i love this lassie Paul payton England Birmingham ❤☺😀 x x x x x
Espectacular melodía.
it's so beautiful..
Fantastic !! :)
mamiiieblue Thank you! : D
I'm in love ! So awesome beyond the rhelm of words and totally outstanding !!!
You put all the proper chords in along with the drops and rolls that has me in awe of you're professionalism and unique talent and I hope one day I will have the opportunity to meet you with my Hohner Morino accordion to play a set of reels and strathbays with you !
I have a book called "Richard Lieberson's Old-Time Fiddle Tunes for Guitar" which has this G-minor version of Paddy! Playing the lead part in G-minor is easier on guitar, for sure, but playing backup guitar is easier in A-minor.
i looove it *.*
você tem um talento extraordinário, parabéns!
wow Amazing !!!
lovely
I want to play like you !!!
great playing very fine job..... and you have a beautiful smile
joeh4232 Thank you so much for watching and all of your nice comments! : D
Well done! You've got a beautiful tone, classical background for sure! :)
felefun Thank you! I have had some classical lessons, and I love both genres so much! It's all so much fun to play!
Great job hopefully you will do a tutorial for Tommy's Tarbukas. Keep up the good work
+Liam Kennedy Thank you, Liam! I made a tutorial for Tommy's Tarbukas (th-cam.com/video/UGQ4CXJOhiA/w-d-xo.html). I was nervous making that tutorial since it's such a finger-twisting tune, but hopefully it helps a little! I think the trick to playing that tune at a faster tempo is keeping as many fingers down and ready to go as possible. I don't really go into playing it at a faster speed, but if it is practiced with the fingers down, it makes playing it faster a lot less strenuous on the left hand. =)
+Katy Adelson Hi... Yes I just realised that you have tutorial so will be looking at that thanks for the heads up.. Have fun Liam :D
Nice music!0
Fab !!! :)
Nice
1 hour loop.
Bravissima!!!
nice sound
Wow.
Божественно!
Музыка что даëт силу к жизни!)
Katy is precious in every way, but seriously folks ( Paddy on the Turnpike ? ), where do they dig up these names ? One wanders if they were quite sober when they worked these pieces of music out.
funny....I had sent you a message that I like this tune and then I fond your video
Raymond Blacklock lol! Tommy's Tarbukas is a really neat tune! =) It reminds me a lot of Paddy on the Turnpike, so I tried to put them together. Alasdair writes really fun (but tricky) tunes! =)
awesome Katy! I hope you do a tutorial on this one, it rocks!!!! I've been playing and studying mostly classical and have just started to dabble in bluegrass and Irish reels. You did such a great job teaching on the Tam Lin tutorial,
LOE J I'd love to make a tutorial for this! I think I might make it into two separate tutorials - one for each tune! =) The Tam Lin tutorial was lots of fun to make, and these will probably be fun, too! Tommy's Tarbukas is quite a finger-twister, so I might start with a tutorial for Paddy on the Turnpike, first... I started learning fiddle from lots of Irish and Old Time tunes, but later I started taking lessons in high school which based around a lot of classical music. Both genres are so much fun! ^_^ I definitely want to get more into bluegrass, too, and I've been curiously looking at jazz~! I think Jazz would be really fun on the fiddle! Thank you for watching! =)
Good on ya there .Like fair play te ya
Wow!
+Lawrence Michael Thank you for listening! These tunes are a lot of fun! ^_^
I play your videos when I’m playing Star Trek online
❤
You're so awesome! I learned both of these tunes from your lessons, and have been playing them together long before I saw this video. (You can see me doing it at my channel) keep it up!
