An Irish Jig - The Lilting Banshee

I now have a Patreon website and for a small amount each month you get regular teaching videos, sheet music, backing tracks, live streams, newsletters and more. Pay me a visit and see what is available. / peakfiddler
This is a classic jig and I incorporate a lot of the variations which are found on the session website. thesession.org/tunes/60.
Instruments: Acoustic fiddle, tenor banjo, acoustic guitar, synth bass, synth pad, electronic snare.

Thank you kindly for your support

[@adamcolbertmusic]

Thank you very much for uploading this. I have a book of Irish songs arranged for the piano accordion and this extended version really helps me study the music and get it ingrained, repeat after repeat without having to play the video again every minute or so.

Thanx a lot for this splendid lesson. You are an excellent teacher !

[@sebastienstrady9560]

I can play with you just putting the phone up, with my electrical violin. Great. Thanks.

[@whablas]

magnífico!!!

[@rickmagee1918]

This is amazing. I’m driving myself crazy trying to figure out the grace notes!

[@leonardonsius]

the trick is: don‘t. give the song your own mark by inventing your own grace notes

[@jonnyyoung5398]

Class

[@gianniskesidis8289]

If only someone had the patience and skill to make an instructional video. *hint* cough * hint*

[@peakfiddler]

Ok, message received, loud and clear :) haha

[@kdonovan3129]

I second you Giannis kesidis. However I'm able to play along with a couple of his vids

[@zhengxu5285]

Tengo la suerte de vivir en Irlanda y poder aprender el fiddle con un gran maestro :)

[@damaja416old]

This video is great! I've been trying to work Calliope House, Lilting Banshee and Rory Macnab into a set

[@seamgghv353]

I practice the lilting banshee on my banjo while listening to this

[@stephanietorres5679]

I am sober!! I do not need liquor to enjoy.

[@paulmcinally4090]

Just beautiful, do you play all the instruments?

[@peakfiddler]

Yes Paul, it's why I enjoy making these videos.

[@paulmcinally4090]

As an amateur multi instrumentalist ( Guitar, Tenor Banjo and Tin Whistle) I find this inspiring and one day hope to reach this kind of level, much respect.

[@peakfiddler]

Don't worry Paul, you will get there definitely. The biggest problem is the technology behind the recording, takes an age to sort out.

[@kaystewart6009]

Im renaming that one the Raggle Taggle Tooth Fairy! Bangees r too Scary!!!!!!

[@peakfiddler]

Ha ha, good one Kay

[@urbanlovesrural]

well played, any personal fav tunes you like to follow or base it with ?

[@peakfiddler]

I can't think of anything at the moment. Although, a good idea would be to search on the Session website for the tune title. Then usually there pops up two or three other tunes that people have suggested work well with the melody.

[@sallyjw6966]

Hey Mr Peak. What book did those amazing illustrations? I would like to read it. Thank you kindly. x

[@tp-vz7od]

Kaveri on mestari sarallaan

[@sallyjw6966]

Hello Mr Peak, I've been trying to find this book. But to no avail! Can you help? Thanks, I know you're so busy! I've learnt this tune though..it's amazing!

[@peakfiddler]

Which book is that Sally?

[@sallyjw6966]

Hi, the book with all the illustrations in for the Lilting Banshee.

[@peakfiddler]

@@sallyjw6966 type the word Banshee into Google and do an image search, pretty sure that's what I did

[@sallyjw6966]

@@peakfiddler Thank you for your time this Sunday evening! I've googled and just discovered a recipe for a Screaming Banana Banshee Cocktail. Sounds nice! I'll continue my search. 🤗

[@peakfiddler]

@@sallyjw6966 I think I might have searched old Banshee illustrations from very old books and the like, as I knew they would be out of copyright. Enjoy your cake, should be good

[@andoniarmentia1024]

As good as the Chieftains

[@twizzls5582]

Great intonation! My problem is the bow hold. Its tilted way to much and its tilted to the wrong direction. You'd also sound a lot better if you held your instrument up a little higher that means to keep your elbow a bit higher

[@peakfiddler]

You are right, I'm a bit of a lost cause I'm afraid.

[@trackhorse9028]

bán sidhe (White Woman)

[@seamushealy6960]

. . . the word'sidhe' does not translate as 'white' but the spirit world.The word for white is ' ban' i hope i got it right.

[@trackhorse9028]

@@seamushealy6960 You are right, of course. I'm honored to hear from you.
