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!!
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
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.
when you're playing traditional acoustic folk then balancing the volume in the sound board doesn't make much sense, this is how guitarists playing melodies typically sound at sessions
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.
Thankfully they are going nowhere soon.Borh musicians still share their craft.We just booked tickets to see Mr Brady next month.We never miss an opportunity to him live.In our hallway in our home hangs two very large unique paintings one of Sir Van Morrison the other Mr Paul Brady.We are huge fans and without their music life would be very different.☘️
Both play Yamaha fg180's,stunning sound from a cheap laminate guitar made in Japan in the late 60's.I bought one after seeing this, and it sounds superb,shame I can't play it like these guys!
When I hear the wonderful sound of the FG 180 it really brings me back. I had one 40 years ago but it was stolen from the boot of a friend's car. It had only cost me £10 second hand but I believe you would have to pay €1,000 for one now if you could find one.
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

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.
Brilliant stuff from Arty. The use of the pinky is crucial. So many guitarists do not use it at all. RIP.
Rest in peace Arty.

I keep coming back this video. The talent of that man is awe inspiring.
absolutely wonderful

Absolutely fabulous. Arty is missed so much.

I think the effect was nice- powerful, not overwhelming.
This is hardcore rock n roll! ❤ so good! ❤
This is amazing playing !! All respect to these artists !! Phalaina
RIP Arty McGlynn
Simply magestic! How lovely!
how young are you guys .... Arty McGlynn and Paul Brady!!!!!!!
Both playing the old Yamaha FG red label,excellent guitars..
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.
As long as there are recordings of it, people will figure out how to play it!
The music is in safe hands

The best Irish guitarists play the best of Traditional Irish Celtic Music
I've seen paul brady in new york about 8 times he is a brilliant performer .arty was also a brilliant artist and his music will live on
Wonderful ... Rest in peace.
Super amazing!!!

OK for Artie Mc Glynn , but I don't think Brady's guitar is a Yamaha. The shape of the protection plate is very different from the Yamaha brand.
@@Frakfayt both Fg180 Red label
@@Frakfayt I think he just replaced the pickguard with a different one. Other than the pick guard it looks exactly like a Yamaha FG180
Fabulous to hear Arty through a microphone, rather than a built-in bridge pickup.
Sad news today. RIP Arty.

Lovely playing - so rare to hear!
Beautiful
Agreed.
Simiply brilliant!
Really nice.
FYI,
this tune was recorded some years back by eileen ivers,
D
Sublime!
Wonderful!!
excellent songwriter
when we were young
brilliant
Neither of them vertigo sufferers, judging by the height of those stools!
Great music too.
Is there any album of tunes of a guitar duet with one backer and one flatpicker?
I wish they would make an album together.
Two Yamaha fg180 guitar .... hummmmmmmm red label 1968
Anyone know an album of a giotár duo 1 flatpicking + 1 backing with a guitar mainly, but occasionally why not a cittern or bouzouki?
a great bit of music for this very strange saint patricks day
i love arty and paul together they are good
im a standard player but this is makin me wanna get on the dadgad, im assuming thats what theyre on and paul on fred finns?
class
A sad loss to Irish trad. RIP Arty.
R.I.P
RIP a Mháistéir Mór!
Kinda like to hear the A & C sections on a drone, but that's nitpicking. Handy playing, for sure.

In what tuning do Paul Brady play here?
Does anyone know what tuning Arty was using?
It looks and sounds like standard tuning.
He was usually in Drop D
@@dziegele Thanks.
@@kevinburnsmusic3896 Thanks for that.
@licensedtochill1
Who knows...but we know it now, yeah?
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
Sorry to comment on anything other than the spectacular guitar playing but PB is so freakin cute here it's painful!
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).
is this arty g?
what about those flairs!
Is that you on there
@tristetta clearly you are unaware that yamaha have produced some fine instruments over the years
Where's the sound engineer? Tune totally drowned out by accompaniment. Two of the best guitarists in Ireland though.
engineer? Ireland! 1976!!!! Stop moaning and take this beautiful moment in - be happy it was captured on TV!!
Give Irishman or a Scotsman a guitar and he tunes the drone first
Rather hear Brady
PB is too loud.... argh...
i think brady is a bit fumpy and loud. don't know about you. but its well fumpy
Lmao
just fumpy
fump
its fumpy nit picking
