Of course, Gerry is marvelous. But I can't help listening to the guitar player. First of all, he is one of very few Irish session guitar players I have noticed who plays in standard tuning. He really makes those bass line stand out. Very chromatic at times, almost (dare I say it?) - bluegrassy!

yes, also they are usually 4 string instead of 5, and the tuning is generally GDAE, which is the same as the mandolin and fiddle.

For all those confidently saying this is GDAE tuning......it's not! He's in CGDA here. No capo, no half steps, just CGDA (yes, standard Irish tuning IS GDAE but he's not using it) Long time banjo player/teacher so trust me, it's CGDA Cheers
