"Hi Im Eddie, i will be playing a riff that i heard some other guy playing on the banjo". You know your good when u don't even have to name the song your playing.
Love the way he says I’m playing a reel Kevin griffin played on the banjo,, and straight in,,, none of that boring story telling bout the tune,,,ye it’s probably without any doubt the best I’ve ever heard on a tenor solo banjo performance,,, I have to put this on very regular 😂😂outstanding ,,, perfection Eddie lad,, 👏👏👏👏🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️❤️
a lot of these new trend players, nowadays, must know surly this is how Irish trad on banjo is delivered, not these tunes non stop same repedative notes for 4 to 5 long minutes, come on lads , it’s trad not rap, wise up, as ye are very capable players, 😂 once again great stuff Eddie,👍👏👏👏👏☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪

A riff? A song? They're called tunes!! I'm kidding.
@@fiachoconnorhe’s quoting what Eddie said at the start of the video. He misheard “reel” as “riff”.
absolute flawless playing and just gotta love the machine gun triplets
Lovely playing Eddie,,, pure class, 🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️👏👏

My favorite Irish banjo player! You kick ass Eddie!
Not so bad yourself Ryan.
The tune is called the Donegal Tinker. Some playing fuckin hell. That picking was insane
Twenty fuckin years he's been playing that tune 😜
The banjo is from America always thought it was the other way around I thought it was part of traditional Celtic music but it's not
Who gives a fuck where the banjo is from
@@leahflower9924there was an ancient Irish instrument called the Tiompán, its closest modern equivilent is the banjo.
Best Irish banjo player Ive heard
Very Good!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Class, could listen to it all day
Thank you so much for reuploading this. I remember seeing this video years ago, and then it was gone for a long time for some reason.
He's a national treasure!

I first heard this ten years or so back and still amazed at it all
I've just bought a tenor banjo. Tomorrow I'm taking it back to the shop. I'm a decent guitarist but this is something different.

What is the reel called
The donegal tinker
OMG thank u, i have wanted to know the name of that song for years haha
Whats the name of the tune?
Banish Misfortune It’s the Donegal tinker - a very nice reel some also refer to it as the Dublin reel.
@@ryanyates9048 I think those are two different tunes. Cathal Hayden plays them one after the other. th-cam.com/video/BC_25RJcs1Y/w-d-xo.html
The Donegal thinker is the name of tune, he plays it mighty, bless him 👍
What is tuning? Thank you
GDAE tuning
