Hi, I just got your book yesterday and I am planning to start soon. To be honest i think i will start by following these videos as they will give me more confidence. I might spend too much time watching the notes on the book and lose the actual rhythm of the tune as a result. But I have both options now anyway , the videos and the book with the Dropbox MP3 Format, so hopefully I will be able to belt out a tune or two before the end of the year. On a side note, some of the titles of the 365 tunes are fascinating, the people who composed them and named them are amazing.,
@grahamnelson203Ай бұрын
Just ordered you big book yesterday. Thank you so much for this. I especially appreciate the ABC notation. I pay a Mandola open tuned to DADA, so it's really easy for me to find the notes that way. I visually lose track of lines when trying to read sheet music.
@johnoneill4183Ай бұрын
I have just purchased the book in the last 5 minutes, I am looking forward to receiving it and will try a new tune each week to see how I get on.

If only your wonderful book had chords instead of this very odd relentless naming of the notes etc. And jeez! Surely if somebody learns a few of these 365 tunes from your book they will then have at least an inkling of what the notes are called? Why give the note names on every tune? Are people stupid?
@The_Banjo_Buddy2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the feedback! I get where you're coming from - I actually learned music using note names (ABCs) in my youth. This is the most popular learning method (alongside learning tunes by ear). Now, I naturally write out tunes in ABCs a lot faster than tab or stave notation. It’s just how my brain works! I've never written chord charts before - something I might consider adding in the future. Appreciate your thoughts!

Haha plus Irish (and therefore American Country Music which is descended from it) always has a way of peppering the darker motifs of life with happy lyrics or titles. They say the Irish don’t oft sing a happy song, but they can sing a sad song happy. Greeting from Canada! Our shared culture is still alive and well in some places! 🇨🇦🇮🇪
