Agree that Brady's guitar is overwhelming the sound. Not his fault, he's a very loud powerful player and they should have turned his mic down. Having said that I can still hear how amazing Arty's guitar is. What a feel.
I met Arty a couple of times in Galway. I was playing in a session in the Crane. Jackie Daly was there. Later in walked Arty. He was just in to listen to the tunes and few pints. He didn't have his guitar with him. Arty was my trad guitar hero, I'd learned a few off tunes off McGlynn's Fancy. Later that night I played them badly for him and then gave him my guitar. He played a few tunes and showed me his triplet method. It was such a privilege to watch his hands close up (long before the days of TH-cam) and get a master class. One of the nicest people I ever met.
I was drawn to Irish music as a guitarist and wannabe fiddler for jigs...!! What a discovery...esp minor key jigs...and, not too fast...!! Cheers all from Texas!!
they shouldve turned up arty . its hard enough to play tunes on guitar without having to play over such loud accompaniment. i still love the clip though
amazing sound of these 2 Yamahas. I just bought the same model (a 1974 make). They were equally good to Martins in the mid 70s! Never forget the musicians party in Connamara where I had the pleasure to meet Arty in the late 90s!
absolutely wonderful how i would ever have been able to experience these great old clips without youtube i will never know. thanks a million for posting
This is a moment of musical genius - just think, one day, music like this may fade away as these people grow old and pass. I just pray there are enough young ones coming along behind to pick up the torch and carry it forward.

A legend passes this evening... Had the pleasure of his company for a few hours once... what a character also...

A rare smile from Arty at the end... he rarely smiled which was strange as he was one of the most witty people I've ever heard.

I really wish Brady wasn't playing here, or at least his volume was lower. Can't hear Arty's playing well enough (which is quite good).
Rest in peace Arty.
I keep coming back this video. The talent of that man is awe inspiring.
R.I.P. Arty.
Absolutely fabulous. Arty is missed so much.

This is amazing playing !! All respect to these artists !! Phalaina
The best Irish guitarists play the best of Traditional Irish Celtic Music
RIP Arty McGlynn
Simply magestic! How lovely!
Fabulous to hear Arty through a microphone, rather than a built-in bridge pickup.
Super amazing!!!
