Irish Banjo Lesson [Triplet Technique] The Harvest Home

[@jennienimhaoil]

Lisa is a great musician and a great teacher but as well as tutoring in banjo she could tutor in stage presence and performance. She is an absolute master at that!

[@curleynollaigh]

Hi Lisa. I started banjo two weeks ago. I have learned the first couple of tunes. Im a retired professional musician but I keep it up for fun. I love Irish music and would love to be able to play as good as you. I live near Mullingar which, as you know hosted the Flagh this year and there’s a great possibility they’ll host it next year, so I aiming to learn a few gigs and reels with your help. Keep up the good work.

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

[@jollytinker6951]

Thanks....from Turkey

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

You're welcome !

[@Melvorgazh]

I need to master those triplets on the giotár.

[@banjotracks1]

Great idea to have a follow-on course with the same tutor.

[@chriskeenan9015]

It would be easier if the tabs were out in the screen to each note, I’m hopeless at following videos but thanks for the video all the same from a struggling newbie

[@JD488025]

I first heard this tune in the Butler Arms public bar in Waterville in about 1968! The tinkers were in town for the annual donkey derby on Reenroe strand.

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Love it !

[@crankcuffin1948]

nice, i will follow the course, need to be more dedicated this yr

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi Crank, Hows it going on the banjo?

[@crankcuffin1948]

Online Academy of Irish Music hiya, a banjo school started 1 week ago, but i missed the first class, this week was the 2nd week, but due to the sudden downpour of snow i couldnt make it this week either be uase the fog over the mountain was too severe, i couldnt see past my car bonnet, so i turned and came back home. getting on good with the banjo, my mom is better and needs less taking care off which allows me to get back into it.

[@JohnCrawfordSchoolOfMusic]

OK so this is the first time I’ve seen anybody use a flat pick on the banjo. Is that common with Irish banjo?

[@iskra3308]

actually, the common way to play tenor banjo (4 string) in general

[@kevmcgrandles2846]

Ooo

[@Musicpanel-cg6lv]

so nice madam.. I love you so your lesson.

[@Melvorgazh]

Dia dhaoibh! I hope you have at last more giotár ceachtannaí. Banjo go breá! ;)

[@curleynollaigh]

I’m confused with your strokes. Should it not be a down stroke on the stronger part of the beat ?

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi Noel, This is ear music so I'd suggest following the tutor and listening to see if it matches what is being played in the vid. How long are you playing banjo?

[@paddyladdie.]

Aren't they quadruplets rather than triplets at 6.15?

[@curleynollaigh]

Two quavers, down up ?

[@proudbanjoist]

That banjo has such a nice tone! Who is the maker of this instrument?

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

I think it's Clareen - is that you Eoin?

[@andrewhnorris1]

It's a Clareen Oyster

[@lmf8182]

Do you need an tenor banjo for irish music or will an 5 string work just as well? I want to buy a banjo for irish music but dont know wich one haha

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

You need a tenor. Any banjo will do to start off with but if you spend a few extra bucks on a good one you will improve faster, enjoy it more and it would have good sell on value if you give it up.

[@lmf8182]

@@onlineacademyofirishmusic thanks!

[@shredder9536]

Is there a special Irish tenor banjo you need to buy or any tenor banjo.

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Any tenor will do. Are you thinking of buying one? Set up is important, so if you buy a cheap one I'd recommend getting your local luthier to set it up well.

[@shredder9536]

@@onlineacademyofirishmusic Yes I'm looking for a good second hand one to see how I get on. I'll look into setting it up too thanks. Is it 17 frets or 19 I need?

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Either would be fine.

[@seosamh.forbes]

Does the academy website have any lessons on how to create Celtic compositions of your own, like what scales are common, keys ideal, etc.?

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

D & G

[@bartholomewblack33]

Wow

[@dhanentertainment5597]

Please tell me ... What's is the scale of all string

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi, The banjo is tuned to GDAE. Does that answer your question?

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@onlineacademyofirishmusic So the Banjo is tuned like a Fiddle.

[@Jack-jh5uh]

Which do you prefer, clareen or emerald banjos?

[@steveythefox]

The title says you go over triplets??

[@theliamofella]

Is that a plectrum banjo?

[@lf6352]

Yes, it's a tenor banjo

[@theliamofella]

@@lf6352 i mean a plectrum banjo as opposed to a tenor banjo

[@lf6352]

@@theliamofella she's playing a tenor banjo. Normally tenor banjos are played with a plectrum. I think I don't understand your question

[@theliamofella]

@@lf6352 plectrum banjos have longer necks with about 22 frets like a five sting without the drone string, and tenor banjos have 19 frets or 17 short scale,

[@theliamofella]

Yes I’m pretty sure it’s a plectrum banjo, I have a plectrum banjo and a tenor banjo, plectrum banjos are usually used for jazz music, and were very popular in the 20s, I have never seen someone playing Irish music on a plectrum banjo before, you can see that it looks far longer than usual

[@andreawilloughby8684]

Yikes, the last part where you put it together is way too fast for this beginner to play along.

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi Andrea, this is an intermediate lesson. Here's the beginner lessons with Lisa - www.oaim.ie/harp/harp-basics/
