Maybe they all had to tune to the bodhran! While D is a people's key, Eb is a much warmer, slightly darker key. Very beautiful key. A good idea when you don't want your arrangement to be hijacked by overzealous session bandits.
Many Irish fiddle players like to tune the whole instrument up a semi-tone which gives the fiddle a brighter sound and more string tension. Banjo and guitar and bouzouki players will capo at 1st fret to compensate.
so I rented a banjo to try and learn this. absolutely love this song! can anytone tell me what tuning the banjo is? I realise he has a cappo on the 1st. But if anyone can tell me the tuning that would be great. Or where I could find tab to how he actually plays it
Stanley Ang One more questions (if you know)...I also play the bodhran and have been wondering is the black tape purposely there? Is that what makes the bodhran sound a little bassier/dimmer than usual?
you can tune to eadg or adgc - i play eadg as per Gerry's tutorial book - my advice is to practice the scales and easy tunes for ages and listen to an ipod playing the tunewhilst you practice it, if you can master a tune playing it slowly, you will play it better when you do go faster - i found i can't master some 'easier' tunes, but can play some 'harder' tunes better. i think you will find your own favourites!
Who's listening in 2024?!

p1kk45 I thought it sounded more like 'The Mangled Badger or possibly Daddy's Gone To Paris.😉
Now that I have found Gerry banjo, Cathal Hayden, aaaaaand the rest of four men and a dog, I'll be happy for the rest of my life
Sorry Not screaming just a mistake with caps lock as pointed out Mr Alban
I just realized the bodhran can sound like a talbla if done correctly o.o
iN THIS VIDEO GERRY IS PLAYING STANDARD IRISH TUNING-- GDAE WITH CAPPO ON FIRST FRET.AND PLAYING IN G PATTERN WHICH IS ACTUALLY g#.
lol why u screaming?
Caps lock. Look at first letter xD :p
Darby O Gill calm down
No, it's Eb. If you weren't screaming with the caps lock you would have realized that.
HI IM BARRY SCOTT
That’s how it’s done
Well wouldn't want to dance a jig to this lol
Very nice. What's the bit o tape on the drum head?
good
Gerry the Great! Nice tune..
Do you know what tune he goes into towards the end ???
waaahhhnsinn! :)
Search on here for 'Pat Shortt - Travellers' ;-)
Legend
Anyone know what tyhe second tune is called???
What's the second tune?
which is the second Jig played? Result: Banish Misfortune/Trip to Killarney (G) correct?
Anyone know the name of the second tune?
What type of drum is that on the far left?
thats a clare tune
Emmeh go on pa
He got it from a blind harpoonist in Ballinasloe
Splendid set here. Is anybody able to name the second tune played here, starting at 2.24?
+woodleybob I believe it is a jig titled "Trip to Killarney." If you find it's something different, though, I'd love to know. It is a great set.
Thanks - that's the one!
It's a Bouzouki as far as I know.
Guitar player is Tony Byrne...excellent player!
What’s the name of second piece after banish misfortune
Anyone know who the mandolin/bazouki player in this vid is?
eamonn doorley, maybe?
I believe that's Gerry's son on the bodhran. Eamon Doorley on bouzouki. Don't recognize the guitar player, but he looks like an O'Connor
Tony Byrne
Go hiontach ar fad. Ní saol gan ceol ná grá!
Alba.
You're taking the mickey right? Man, I hope so.
Can you be hired out for wedding partys ?
AR FHEABHAS
Eb ? Who plays in Eb? Particularly when D is right next door and doesn't require a capo? I mean, it's Gerry O'Connor so it's gorgeous, but still...
Maybe that banjo is easier to play in tune with the capo on?
Maybe they all had to tune to the bodhran! While D is a people's key, Eb is a much warmer, slightly darker key. Very beautiful key. A good idea when you don't want your arrangement to be hijacked by overzealous session bandits.
It provides the tune with a different tone and hence a new sound, very subtle, slightly higher pitch, tighter sound.
Check Brian Finnegan in Eb - czcams.com/video/wuOECpQVfS0/video.html

The Irish Banjo is usually tuned GDae. You can find the score of this piece on thesession.org, but it won't be the exact version.
Stanley Ang Thanks Stanley will give it a lash
Cool let me know how it goes
