- This is a short tutorial on how I would approach backing a jig on the Bouzouki (Rhythm hand).
If you enjoyed the video, please give it a like and subscribe to my channel.
The bouzouki is made by Justin Rogers and I have to say that I'm very happy with it.
If anyone has any enquiries or would like a one to one lesson, please get in touch through my Facebook Fan Page: / daoirifarrell
Thank you for watching,

I desperately need to learn a bit more about Irish music bands. The tunes and sounds just feel like a warm hug around the heart.
I agree, its a rich sound. I'm a metalcore musician and didn't know about this style. Shows how blinded I am. Even if you're having a bad day the music is still so uplifting!
It was 3 in the morning nursing a hangover on the couch I put on my tablet ,just to clear my head and listen to a little music to drown out my drunk snoring wife! To listen to some Jazz and rock and saw you and I guess your band..and sir and you were in a airport! I was completely blown away you and folks with you are super talented and I am now a true fan! Bravo sir from the pine barrens in new Jersey in the USA..
What amazing times we live in. I just bought my first Irish Bouzouki today (been doing my research, looking at brands & models, trying find a local instructor in Los Angeles, etc), and finally realized that the best instructors and resources are at my keyboard. Thank you, Daoiri. I've watched countless clips of yours (along with your work in Four Winds) and know I'm in good hands - literally - to get me on my way. Go raibh maith agat!
Got any brand recommendations? I've been looking to buy one myself.
@@overtotter8639 I bought a Gold Tone on Reverb. Put in a bid for 10% less than the listed price. I should have bit 15% less. Paid appx. $700 including shipping. Comes with a quality case. Sounds good, stays in tune, nice warmth and resonance to it. It'll be the one and only bouzouki I own so I didn't want to cheap out too much. With a little hunting online you could probably find something less expenses that meets your audio expectations. Good luck on your journey.
Spectacular job! It's rare for a great musician to also be a great teacher.
Great playing as ever and great tutorial that I'm sure all learners will appreciate. I sure do. 😊
I hope you'll do a follow-up video about chords and developing chord knowledge. 😁
Your Creggan Hare makes me shake with emotion- an absolute masterpiece. It should be preserved for all future generations.
Thank you Daoiri for taking time to share your information with us.
I bought an Irish bouzouki from Romania recently. I am a guitar player and recently bought a mandolin and really like it so I bought a bouzouki. I found this video helpful.
Thank you from a long gone irish descendant 🇫🇷🌺🇨🇭
This is great. I'm often trying to figure out the picking patterns of your songs, but it is so hard to do by just listening to it. This video really helps a lot to understand the basis of most of the songs you record.
I would love to see more content on this.
What a brilliant lesson!
Hopefully the first of many .
Thank you so much from Tasmania!
Sound man! So cool that you're doing this. Great for those of us who are just about to start out learning. Thanks for introducing folks to , what is to us , a new instrument.
Great stuff. Got a bouzouki recently and this is invaluable. Please keep these coming!
Nothing as great as a well played bouzouki. As a fiddle player I might have to play along to this later 🎻🎻
Thank you! This really helps.
No better way to learn technique from the Master himself.
Thanks for the brilliant instruction video - it really helped my understanding on the Jig patten. And now back to practicing :-)
Hope to more of this type of content in the future, and thanks again!
Thanks for putting the time in to learn us how it's done! 👍
East coast Canadians do an up down up down strum. I’m a west prairie boy and I couldn’t get the feel of the “newfie” jigs till I figured they were doing it upside down lol. Gives it a totally different feel. With an up on the 1 and down on 4 with the stronger beat on 4 really gives it that rolling feel.
Fantastic man
I love your version of The Foggy Dew. The Bouzouki is a beautiful musical instrument.
Fantastic Video Daoiri! Thanks for this and all the White Rabbits.
Great information!
brilliant daoiri!.. great lesson helped me a lot as played guitar forever but got a nice bouzouki after hearing 'creggan white hare' great stuff man :-)
Great stuff thanks Daoiri
Every single person in Ireland can sing a great sing, play several musical instruments, dance to a merry tune also tell a cracking great story< I guess that the peoples in all the other countries in this world .
Thanks!! Great lesson!
Great stuff, thanks!
It's great to able to learn from you!!thank you for the video!!
My pleasure.
What a fantastic video, really clear explanation and camera shots and general great vibe. Peace, R
I'll keep practicing! And strict alternate picking too. You're right, one cannot cheat this, but once it's unlocked... magic happens.
It's not strict alternate picking. Alternate picking would go
6/8 | DUD UDU
ad infitum.
But it's
6/8 | DUD DUD
Beg yer pardon if I misunderstood you...
brilliant
Great video really well explained tk daoire
Brilliant buddy I’ve just brought mine and I’m struggling, too many years with 6 strings
This is great cheers Daoiri
It just occurred to me how much your right hand technique looks like bodhran technique.
Good spotting
Thanks for the tin whistle lesson, also. I know you didn't mean it, but I finally understand the jig rhythm. The books don't always do it
Bloody legend
So are you.
funky !!!
Thanks so much
Daoiri, Blian Úr 2022 Mhaith agat!
Grma as an ceacht iontach seo :)
Great 🎶🎶🎶🎂
Really nice and brief description of how to play jig! Is there any sheet music material accompanied to these instractions? I am trying to produce something like that, and give it to you, if you are interested, but it takes a lot of time. Greeting from Greece. John, greek bouzouki musician!
Great lesson! While I'm practicing your jig rhythm, I can't help but wonder about how you play accompaniment for reels. Will you be making another lesson video covering reels and some others? Thank you very much!
Hi parker. I tend to do more online one to one lessons and every so often I will put together something like this. If this would be something that might interest you, please do get in touch. 👍
@@DaoiriFarrell I will certainly consider it! I want to get this jig timing into my right hand before moving on, so at this point it's just a curiosity while I practice. Thank you again for your very helpful video.
thanks!
Hello Daoiri. Brilliant as usual. John Hunt.
Hey John. It's great to hear from you here. How are you keeping?
@@DaoiriFarrell Hi Daoiri. Thanks again for another great video and this current one brought back some very fond memories of lessons in your place. I've been keeping an eye on all of your videos and like a lot of other enthusiastic bouzouki players, it certainly helped us get through this covid situation. I hope things are good with you and that you'll be able to get back to performing to live audiences again. Keep up the great work and please God we'll all get back to some normality.
Good teachin
someday bouzouki someday! Until then I will live my bouzouki through you Daoiri :)
Why not come along for a lesson some day?
@@DaoiriFarrell that would be awesome! I need to find a bouzouki first. They are a little rare where I am from :)
@Daoiri Farrell also I just listened to this from you and it was beautiful. Keep singing and sharing. Such good encouragement!

Do u still offer lessons? I’m based in Derry City .Ireland. Would much appreciate some of your wisdom. I just got myself a Bouzouki have a lot to learn and that wee video is superb. Thanks
I'm trying to find a high quality bouzouki in the American midwest. If anyone has any input as to finding a luthier I'm all ears!
Excellent explanation! I'm from Brazil and I really want to have a Bouzouki and learn to play it, but unfortunately there's no way to buy one here.
I’m up on the Canadian prairies, and I had a similar problem- found a Romanian outfit online called Hora which was building Irish bouzoukis and a seller who had a price I thought I could take a chance on- it took a month or two to get here, but I’ve been very happy so far- didn’t even need much in the way of tweaks to setup & action - pretty much tune up and go. Now I just have to spend enough time on it to lock in muscle memory for chords.
Kilroy was here (saw this video and I instantly fell in love with the instrument.)
Lovely stuff, Daoirí! Can you tell us about the plectrum you're using here?
It's a bunlop .60mm
Is there no way to hire him for the new witcher game?
Brilliant lesson,thank you very much! Can I ask what plectrum you use?
From the color and shape, i asume its a 0.6 Dunlop Turtex.
Anyone have any suggestions as to the best bouzouki to buy? I've been looking at the Hora models on Thomann and Ebay, but don't want to pay loads of cash just for shipping and then end up with a rubbish instrument. Suggestions?
In my own opinion, they aren't great, at all. They would probably only drive you mad, but, if you never played an instrument before and you wanted to start (like I did) on one of those instruments, well then it's probably a good idea. One thing a Horo or countryman instrument will do for you is it will REALLY make you appreciate a hand built instrument when you get one.
I honestly think when it comes to bouzoukis that you really won't see the quality until you have something like a Joe Foley, Andy Tobin instrument. I think that with bouzoukis, you get exactly what you pay for.
The instrument that I am playing here in this video is absolutely beautiful to play and the guy who made it is just starting out. His name is Justin Rogers and he is based in Wexford, Ireland and he is currently taking on orders for custom built instruments.
There are a lot of really great makers out there and you will not regret spending the extra money on one of you are in anyway serious about playing bouzouki.
Sorry for the long essay and I hope that this will guide you in the right direction.
I will do a compare/contrast review on the instruments that I have here real soon.
Thanks for watching the video.
Daoirí.
Lovely tune at the beginning there, what is it called?
Morrissons jig I believe
@@conorj2349 you're right!
Just recently started to practice the Irish Bouzouki. What kind of pick would experienced players recommend? I mostly played E-Bass until now and didn't really use picks very often, so the only ones I have are 1mm or thicker. And I guess I really need a capo.
would also love a rec for plectrum
Dunlop .8- .6 are class
Hi what chords are u playing along with the picking? Thanks
What did ya make of the dub game ? Up mayo 😂
Hi
What tuning have you used?
GDAD or GDAE (mandolin)...…
I believe it’s GDAD, that’s how you get those matching drones on the 2nd and 4th strings
@@cxciii3228 Thanks for the swift response...😊🌹
it is, i tested it.@@cxciii3228
Will it sound the same on the mandolin
Mandolinist here- no, mando rhythm is a MUCH different technique. When I’m playing with my celtic band, I’m usually improvising around the main melody in the background using a lot of 6th intervals and a little tremolo picking. Sometimes on certain songs, I’ll even use bluegrass style chop chords. When the song demands more rhythm than just a guitar or bouzouki, I’ll usually just let my chords ring and will generally play as close to all four strings as possible. Yes you *can* use this bouzouki style for mando, however it’ll sound better to use a different approach. I’ve always thought of mando as more melody-focused and the ‘zouk as more of a rhythmic instrument. Ironically, when not soloing in bluegrass music though, the mandolin is basically the snare drum of a bluegrass ensemble lol. Hope this helps! At the end of the day, there is no stylistic approach that’s necessarily “wrong”, just personal preference :)
Hi Guys. I don’t know Ryan D. It could apply to the mandolin too if the plectrum hand was to be a bit more accurate ? I’ve heard it done. I’m currently having a mandolin madero me and cannot wait to get it.
Ok, but what about the CHORDS!?!
D,A,E,A?
Disappointed to see you supporting medical apartheid,I suppose everyone has their price.
