12- string Irish tune

A long time ago I heard this melody. However I do not know the name of this piece of music was! So I call it now "12-string Irish tune" !

[@brewtality_]

12 strings guitar has the sound, love it.

[@redmuun519]

This is the most badass 12 string lick I’ve ever heard

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

Celtic music sounds so much better on a 12-string than on a regular 6-string.

[@raymonddixon7603]

This is in no way related to Irish music in any form. From Dublin 💚🤍🧡

@raymonddixon7603 The mountain dulcimer sounds Celtic, but it's not a Celtic folk instrument.

I'm blown away! Thank you so much and greetings from France!

[@raymonddixon7603]

I think you probably mean English. I do not think the Welsh and Scots would forgive you for that. Anyway why would English hate it. Players like Martin Carthy and Nik Jones play this style, and many others, around the folk clubs in England. It is not in any Irish style from what I can hear and I am playing a long time. Sin é mo scéal mo chara. Is mise Ray ó Dubhlinn.

[@orvillegibson1945]

There are apps available that could identify the tune in seconds. If you didn't tell me it was Irish I would have guessed Texas gunfighter theme. Nicely played.

[@powbobs]

900 mile

[@antippas]

The people who are saying 500 miles are not thinking of the 1961 composed tune but this song which is also known as 900 miles. It’s not an Irish tune though. Very American kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5e9ZImjpL6hhas

[@HairyPooner]

That 12 string sounds fucking amazing

[@mbrightmusic]

I've listened to this on repeat about 15 times now and it's still incredible. If you could ever do a tutorial or remember the name I would be so happy.

[@heinzv.1284]

Glad that you like it! Unfortunately I still do not know the original title. The tune is actually not difficult. Maybe it will help you in the reconstruction of the tune when you're playing it at a slower rate (speed)... for example by the VLC media player!? Then you can hear the individual parts more ...

[@everetth785]

That's what it sounds like to me as well.

[@BQUERES]

wow , sounds amazing!!

[@ntbandit]

This is very like Why aye man by Mark Knopfler off the Ragpickers Dream album. Great effort

[@blackburnn.]

My brain went up to the clouds listening to this...

[@TS-nb9ko]

really cool tune sounded great

[@CaptainKirk007]

🍻 🇮🇪 Sounds phenomenal 🎶👌

[@ceilidhman12]

Very nice Heinz. It sounds very much like 500 miles, a song by American folksinger Hedy West. It came out about 1961.

[@ceilidhman12]

No, it's not 500 Miles 'cos that's in a major key and yours is minor, but It does remind me of something.

[@ceilidhman12]

I remember now, it sounds like a version of Bright Sunny South. Check out versions by Dock Boggs, Doc Watson and Union Station.

[@heinzv.1284]

I'm glad you like the tune, John! Thank you for the notes!

[@bigredchevytruck]

@@ceilidhman12 Dan Kaminski, who is (was?) part of Union Station also has covered this on his solo album called Wheels. He's one of my favorite pickers.

[@bluesblabber]

I think it's more like Barbara Dane's "Nine Hundred Miles" kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5e9ZImjpL6hhas

That pleases me very much! Have fun with the tune!

Kind of sounds like The Man's Too Strong by Dire Straits

[@tango-bravo]

You sound a bit like Norman Blake on this one brother, at least the first part. Nice work!

[@idiosyncraticmushroom3030]

I know this tune but can't figure it out.

[@jesseserna8424]

🍀👏🏼 I’m going to practice this on my 12 string I just bought,I’m a beginner but the sound of a 12 string acoustic is far out..thanks

[@Melvorgazh]

What is this tune called? Are you sure it is Éireannach?

[@bbewmada]

Sounds like "Johnny Comes Marching"

[@bbewmada]

... but I like it

[@raymonddixon7603]

Yes it does. It is probably English in form like "Johnny comes". Not Irish in any way. 💚🤍🧡

[@bruceevanstrucking]

thanks for this.

[@aishnasavvyprsd4]

This sounds so like john Brown by bob dylan

[@sesa1076]

Aishna Prasad I bet there’s a good reason for that.

[@davidmann1869]

I can hear Mark Knopfler in this excellent

[@kenbellingham4345]

Sounds like "500 Miles" to me.

[@williamcurr2408]

Do you think it's possible to learn this by listening to it?

[@heinzv.1284]

Probably not! A tutorial is, of course, always good. In the 70s and 80s (long ago - there was no internet, no KZbin, no tutorials!), I tried to play several instrumental tunes by listening to music cassettes. Also by playing and listening with reduced speed I could play some parts better. At that time I had to train my hearing pretty much! Now 30 or 35 years later I see and hear the videos but also all what I have played wrong then... :(

[@williamcurr2408]

heinz v.12 just listening to it I got most of it learnt, just have to do some adjustments and polishing :D

[@theghostofsmokeyjoe8792]

Yep

[@stevewhiteley9249]

Sounds like House Carpenter to me, at least in parts.

[@joelude8276]

What tuning is your guitar in? Also, a tutorial would be the best thing ever. Great tune!

[@heinzv.1284]

I'm glad you like it! The guitar tuning is half a tone lower than normal. I play this tune in gis minor. With tutorial I have unfortunately no experience...

Can you please tell me the chords that you play for this song.

[@heinzv.1284]

Note: The guitar is tuned half a tone lower than normal (standard)! Then the chords used are: A m, E m, G, D, E and C ! The order of the chords are (in 2/4 time): Am -- -- -- Am -- -- Em Am -- -- -- Am -- -- -- Am -- -- -- Am -- -- Em Am -- -- -- Am -- -- -- Am -- Am -- -- -- G Am G Am (Am G) D E -- Am -- -- -- (Am G C G) D Am (Am G C G) D Am The chords in brackets are struck only once (only a quarter time...?!)
