- In this video we're looking at how to play guitar in a Celtic/Irish/Scottish traditional music session. We're covering how accompanists are able to play along with a melody they've never heard before in all tune types across major and minor keys and how you can too.
Craig Irving is a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner and former member of Scottish bands Talisk and Mànran.

This is amazing. I only started learning guitar 8 weeks ago & I'm documenting my entire learning journey on here so this was super motivational! Really nice guitar as well.
Thanks for all your videos Craig best on trad guitar I've seen v much appreciated top class man Slàinte
Thank you, appreciate it!
Thanks, nice useful video - one about your favourite turnarounds and their appropriate contexts would be an interesting follow up.
Agree. Great channel, love when you share your knowledge
Thank you!
Would love a close-up of the shapes you're doing in the variations!
at B part we could start with relative major or minors too and follows on
+1 for a video on substitutions or any chordal tricks you’re using in sessions
Went to a session last week and noticed that some of the guitarists were using occasional chromatic chords or would vary their progression slightly on the final B part of a tune. Hard to get across in words, so I’ll understand if you ignore this 😂
Anyway great vid mate
I get what you mean mate, I’ll definitely cover some passing chords, both chromatic and otherwise in a future video 🙌
I often treat the last few bars of a B part almost like a run up into the next A part so I do sometimes change my progression then too, normally to try and make it sound like it’s about to land on chord 1 again if you get me
Great video, thank you. It would be super if you could go more in detail. You said using the "i" and "VII" for minor tunes to start with. But then for further chords - you would have to know whether you are in aeolian or dorian mode, wouldn't you. Can you explain how you would develop from here in a session? Thank you so much.
can you do a video but in dadgad this time?
