[@mightybright2]

Clive, Plan on playing guitar for life and for a living - - - you shine above so many. You are a forerunner in the UK - - - just accept it. God gives gifts, and you got the 6 string -

[@c9sus4]

THANKS FOR THE LESSON, CLIVE. I've also learned something new about playing swing rhythm through a celtic guitar lesson. This is very informative. A good instructor with a sense of humor.

[@niallkelly2211]

I saw that guy playing live... It's not taking away from the fact that you are an amazing guitar player,and your videos are very enjoyable.

[@morganowen875]

[@megacharlieifihealy5327]

[@FrozenDX]

THIS GUY IS AMAZING !

[@eoghanoreilly74]

Inspirational! Wonderful stuff.

[@alanmiller6770]

Very informative. From a real top player.

[@Mordred478]

Very interesting and instructive.

[@yaisum]

@442mario The first tune he does, first with pick, then with fingers, is called MacIntyres Fancy, aka John Brady's. Arranged by Clive I think.

[@giovannipeirone3915]

Very easy, if you are Clive Carroll ;-) However it is clear, we can understand what he is doing; and then there are a few decades of practice and talent, of course

[@my1name2]

i think the little buzz sound is coming from direction and force of his pluck, if you look at his right hand when he plucks the string, hes almost pulling the string up , so its vibrating vertically( probably more of a circular motion , like an elliptical shape) rather then horizontally. i think its an obscure part of his style. if you dont really pay attention to the tone quality and relate to your playing, i think the rough sound fits. i like it. why dont you?

[@cybernetico99]

I can't stop to listen this tune!!!! I want to learn it, has anyone written tabs for this exercise? Thanks

[@Robsun25]

great lesson!

[@Gwyhir]

Oh and I forgot say!.... beautiful playing !

[@cybernetico99]

WoW!!!!!!!! I can't stop dancing!

[@442mario]

I love your guitar playing.I try to play the celtic song but it sure would be great if i knew the name to get the music. Does anybody know the name?

[@rivieraltd5344]

is the tab available?

[@LicMegags]

Love your accent, bro.

[@melbourneopera]

[@IntiStudios]

nice one, excellent teacher ;)

[@sinsoyjo]

Awesome!!!

[@mariogmusic]

EXCELENTE!!!!

[@ThaTurdBurglar]

clive's great

[@Melvorgazh]

Do you have a Celtic flatpicking album, Clive? Lovely playing!

[@PipersGrip]

You can go to thesession (dot) org or folktunefinder (dot) com. The first tune he played was only part of a tune, and that was the Cliffs of Moher. The second tune, the one he played all throughout the video, was called Siobhan O'Donnell's.

[@Quazi-Moto]

Cool. Finger picking has always sort of intimidated me. Hard as Hades for me, for some reason, to get a full grasp of it. And if you start adding a percussive sound? Fuggedabowdit !

[@Melvorgazh]

Fancy watching Soig Siberil also!

[@ChaseMurphyMusic]

Do you include the sheet music for these lessons in the magazine?

[@chocobo2743]

amazing! :D

[@stefanos_tonias]

Anyone know if Clive Carroll uses short or long scale?

[@msjaffacake]

I'm wanting to learn the guitar. Any suggestions on guitar type? I am adult with quite small hands lol. I find normal guitars quite big and bulky. I am wanting to play celtic/folk/blues music any particular guitar I need? Full or 3/4? Steel or nylon? Cut away or not? Thanks!

[@fernandoom5872]

+msjaffacake If I may suggest: reach a good guitar store and try different models. Try a OOO or OM model, much more comfortable for playing than a dreadnought. Then try a nylon, will not hurt your fingers as steel. Spend some time deciding which suits you best and then, buy a Martin.

[@ilmiocastello]

It's fine!

[@Benbutlermusic]

The second tune that he demonstrates and expands on is called Siobhan O'Donnell's. Message me if you want a transcription with TABS.

[@LHudsonARTLIFTS]

You still available to send tabs?

[@alastair6356]

Hi Ben could you please send me the tabs for this tune.

[@Youka004]

[@mmcdaid23]

[@JeffreyYaws]

What tuning?

[@Gwyhir]

David Cameron.. British Prime Minister... plays guitar ! Are we going to have Nick Clegg on bodhran (sorry but you have to be British to see the irony).

[@gtrrobster]

why would you write that as a comment?

[@unprovablegod]

"So that's fine". Pretty amazing in fact, anyone know the name of this tune???

[@IntiStudios]

hey clive, check out my latest celtic cover version!

[@Red-ne13]

Well I learned how to pick my nose.

[@Melvorgazh]

DReist! Go hiontach! Da iawn!

[@ambermgupta]

just like that!!! :(

[@barimayberry]

wow

[@musik102]

When Clive plays the single line fiddle tune, I hate the sound of the first string! Is the action far too low - or what!

[@petermarkoli5244]

witch scale are you using

[@StewRoberts]

Sounds Like Am pentatonic

[@Malone67]

not only is he a great guitar icker hes a pretty good nose picker as well. He cant keep his thumb out of there.
