I picked up violin randomly about five years ago and fell for the instrument. This was my first reel, which I learned playing along to this video. After five years, and playing this again today, I thought it about time to say thank you, what a hugely influential person you are on my playing. You and John Hartford of course! :-)
This is gorgeous; you can't call yourself a true fiddler until you can play this masterpiece. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful song with us; may God bless you and your family.
I bought a violin in lockdown 1 to provide distraction and I'm loving it. I'm finding your youtube channel REALLY helpful and I'm slowing down the speed a little and jamming along with you. Thank you.
I'm pretty sure the last 5000 views of this video and the two lessons you did for this tune are me over the last 2 weeks, trying my hardest to sound the same. I reckon I'm around another 5000 goes away from sounding anything like it. Super helpful though. Thanks for putting them up.
This is my favorite performance of this song 💖 For me, it sounds so original, so true to the roots. Thank you a lot for the gift of this folk masterpiece.
God, I love listening and watching you play and this has been a joy to watch. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to grab my fiddle and watch this about a thousand times!🎻
It's a jay haide l'ancienne violin, which I bought second hand quite a few years ago and I use Pirastro Tonica medium strings and the top E is a Kaplan non whistling string.
Hello my friend. Thanks for all you do to help us learn. We all appreciate you! Would you happen to have the backtrack for Cooleys Reel that you are using in this video? Thank you!
Neat and demure, touches a fiddle and now the devil is running away! Also, I see you tilt your hair toward the bridge like I do. Penny for your thoughts? I've read and been told that's the wrong way and it should tilt toward the neck.
Какая интересная музыка! А мои ассоциации ещё интереснее...)) Me: What will we do with drunken sailor? Arabesque: Friday night! Friday night! Friiiiidaaaaay night! Friiiiidaaaaay niiiiight!🙃🙃🙃
My name is Aaron. I have just started learning the fiddle at the age of 46. I have Hope's of playing like that some day. Do you think there's a chance?
Yes, most definitely. Keep at it, but have fun learning those tunes that you really want to play. Slow them down if necessary, to get the hang of how they are bowed and try to work out the notes of the tune. Try a few simple slides, they are easy and always sound good in a tune.
@@peakfiddler Actually this was written by Michael Gorman, who called it "Put the Cake on the Dresser." It's just associated with Cooley. Nice playing.
Thank you for the previous reply. Any suggestions for a intermediate quality fiddle not made in China? It seems everything is made in China and the CCP gets a cut going to build it's military. Would like to find one made in Ireland or the former Scotland (damn Brits!) for around $500.00 USA money. Would like to support the Irish or Scot if any without going over a thousand dollars.
Hi Lisa, My violin is a Jay Haide Le Ancienne, which I bought second hand some years ago. The strings I use are Pirastro Tonica Medium strings with a Kaplan Non Whistling E string. Many thanks for your nice comment btw
Regular size violin and I don't think I'm a giant, so I guess it's down to a funny camera angle, well I hope so anyway else I'll need some new clothes, haha

This is normal
Robert Kline had the same problem - wrote a blues song about it. 😁
@@proudbanjoist 😂😉
Restless Leg Syndrome is pretty common, after all.
~10% of the US population is afflicted by it.
This is gorgeous; you can't call yourself a true fiddler until you can play this masterpiece.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful song with us; may God bless you and your family.
The best version of this reel, takes me back to my childhood
I agree 100%.

Wonderful!
I do the same!
This is a fiddle lol Celtic pride 🇮🇪🏴🏴
How do you slow down your music @Lisa McCarthy?
Excellent version of an excellent reel!
The name may have something to do with my fascination...

Great version. Hoping I can keep up with your version on the tin whistle one day
This is my favorite performance of this song 💖 For me, it sounds so original, so true to the roots. Thank you a lot for the gift of this folk masterpiece.
Thank you Elvia, such a nice comment, cheers
He is the master!
I’m in forth grade. My music teacher showed me the song and a Scottish Dance I really liked the dance and song!
Lively tune!
Merry Xmas to Peakfiddler.
Peak performance by Joe Cooley.
God, I love listening and watching you play and this has been a joy to watch. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to grab my fiddle and watch this about a thousand times!🎻
It's a great tune and well worth learning
Bravo!!! What a wild ride of a tune, thanks for posting I’ve never heard this one from the Grisman archives👍🏻
Wonderful playing! I can see you love your string instruments with the guitars and fiddles in the background
Love your work, Peak.
So grateful for you sharing songs and lessons dear
I have added the links to two video lessons I have made for 'Cooleys' including links to the musical notation in the video description.
Brilliant!! Love your version!
That's awesome music, I sure miss the Rock.
You could keep on playing for a week and it would still not annoy me. Thank you!
Nice tune. Love it and ove the way you play it again !

Superlative! Thank you!

Outstanding
Great! What strange 3 persons gave this a thumbs down. Excellent cheers John.
Wow this really reminds me of the last moments of the town of Elnor before it's terrible destruction by the dark forces of Akron
I really enjoyed this!
Wonderful 😊

Hello my friend. Thanks for all you do to help us learn. We all appreciate you! Would you happen to have the backtrack for Cooleys Reel that you are using in this video? Thank you!
What bowing pattern r U using?
Bravo
Excelente
If you press kn the red line where the tune is playing, it tells you what the name is
Neat and demure, touches a fiddle and now the devil is running away!
Also, I see you tilt your hair toward the bridge like I do. Penny for your thoughts? I've read and been told that's the wrong way and it should tilt toward the neck.
Какая интересная музыка! А мои ассоциации ещё интереснее...))

Arabesque: Friday night! Friday night! Friiiiidaaaaay night! Friiiiidaaaaay niiiiight!🙃🙃🙃
Lord, I have senior moments. Had forgotten I'd already posted before
There are 15 people who don’t like this jam...
Who in the HELL are they? R E A L L Y????

Amigo de que tamaño es este violin ? ,gracias 🙏
Im number 1000 liker!
Many thanks, much appreciated

Your best bet is look for an older second hand fiddle. Nearly all new hand made fiddles come in around the 2000 dollar mark or more
@@peakfiddler Thank you. Don't stop playing, in the word of a younger generation you play ... Awesome.
Sounds great where does the playback come from??
I'm trying to learn this, I sound nothing like this
Try slowing the video down using the settings tab, then play along
Hah! Me too!
What make is your violin and brand of strings? You are awesome
Hi Lisa, My violin is a Jay Haide Le Ancienne, which I bought second hand some years ago. The strings I use are Pirastro Tonica Medium strings with a Kaplan Non Whistling E string. Many thanks for your nice comment btw
Nice playing! Where's the backing track from?
I record the fiddle part first, then record the additional instruments afterwards, bass, banjo and guitar.
so when are you and the developers of Assassins Creed going to get together to a sound track?.
👍
Wuri nise❤
かっこ良すぎ
Como siempre, impagable....
Wooooooo
Nice play ! lovely version just violin looks like 3/4 or you must be giant :)
Regular size violin and I don't think I'm a giant, so I guess it's down to a funny camera angle, well I hope so anyway else I'll need some new clothes, haha
its e minor d major whats the other chord ???
b minor
Elnor's Magic Valley by Rhapsody anyone?
