Irish bouzouki - Toss the Feathers

[@Whelknarge]

That had the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end, and my foot tapping on the floor! I'm blown away!

[@FlatlandMando]

You start out at such a blistering pace... and then maintain it ( unbelievably). You must have been playing stringed instruments a long time. Clean picking,& maintain an even tempo, Wow

[@armandolandry4544]

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!

[@armandolandry4544]

@Alexzander Boston I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@armandolandry4544]

@Alexzander Boston it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out !

[@alexzanderboston4571]

@Armando Landry you are welcome xD

[@dermur68]

Trad musicians are often asked why they play so fast. The answer is usually "Because I can"! 😉

[@RyzItIs]

If I was listening to this whilst driving, then I'd be nicked for joyous speeding!

[@davidmusk9605]

lovely version of toss the feathers. Very skilled

[@francescodarcangeli4197]

Not only you're fast and flawless, your touch is perfect and you deliver a wide range, if one listens without watching it might even sound as if there were two instruments playing at the same time. Keep up the good work - also kudos for promoting traditional music.

[@jamesread-tannock7176]

... There are indeed three instruments on the track

[@Nyzackon]

That explains it.

[@dermur68]

He says it in the description: "Backing is played by me on that same bouzouki and on a Martin guitar in DADGAD."

[@francescodarcangeli4197]

Holy mother... I'm deaf!

[@candynanes7390]

Utterly beautiful and amazing!! I love your sound

[@AllTheRooks]

I have no earthly how a human being can do this so fast and so *clean* I struggle just to get this tune out at all, let alone at this quality

[@overtotter8639]

Dude this sounds like a quality audio recording, good enough to be put in circulation.😆

[@whatabouttheearth]

Because Im pretty sure it is a quality audio recording. This certainly isn't a dry recording that didnt go through a DAW.

[@josesoares9296]

Yep, he is in a proper studio.

[@shivfrye]

Wait omg you're right

[@mbazolli]

i cant even see his fingers... one man band! trully great

[@trainsplanesfarminggaming2024]

😂

[@brydenlewis]

Excellent rendition! Fabulous playing. I love this instrument. You've got soul my friend. Love from Bangalore, India.

[@Radaep1]

You've got such a passion for Irish music, & as an Irishman (musician too) I can tell you you've nailed it, such a pleasure to listen to someone with such passion playing the music they love !!

[@shybardspeakeasy5008]

This is way too good and I didn't know what to expect when the algorithm brought this to me but this is so beautiful my brain cant handle

[@doozle5132]

Really awesome musicianship. Rhythm, clarity, everything.

[@steffen1405]

Astonishing and mind-bending! I swear I could hear at least 3 instruments! 🙌🏼

[@jonwells1579]

Er.. there are three >.< guitar and bouzouki provide backing

[@dnbjedi]

This sound is so unique and inspiring. Thank you so much. It's so uplifting and hopeful.

[@claughlin]

Dude. This is so good.

[@Hammern28]

Aw man, this is gonna be playing in the background when working on various hobbies I have. This is what I call good mood music!

[@harpbaby1]

The rhythmic pulse and drive of this is hot, hot hot! Should be on a record ( ooops, I mean CD ).

[@judefreeman4097]

This is so amazing, the recording quality is insanely nice too. Great playing too, I might have to buy a bouzouki now lol

[@MaciejNowicki-ne4id]

Oustanding performance !! 🙋❤️

[@wrhabbel]

Absoluut een van mn favoriete muziekstukken op youtube!

[@H.Despres]

Very talented with amazing skill!!! Job well done.

[@JeanneAbrahamsen]

Being a former Irish Step Dancer, I recognized instantly that this is a reel! But I've never before seen it being played. FASCINATING watching her play! BRAVO!

[@craftyowl]

him lol

[@geofflongford2008]

It's a him

[@jimmymahone5420]

Delicious Irish ear candy, and a delight watching your relaxed yet articulate technique. Bravo!

[@TradIrishHarper]

Outstanding and lightening fast fingers on that fretboard.

[@healingdog364]

Awesome, every time I watch it, I get to have a joyous grin. Great to see that you too smile at the end.. which you seldom do in your vid. Finally, you succeeded in making me to pick up a bouzouki.

[@Traveleatrepeat.240]

It takes you in a trance if you keep listening with eyes closed ✨✨✨✨ ... Love it !!!! Woohooo ✨✨✨❤️

[@CaroleeBowen]

So good, it brings tears to my eyes.

[@pie3421]

ive watched 4 videos of yours so far, this is the first ive seen you smile in and i love the energy when you start bouncing to the rythm. absolutly amazing skill, love hearing the tunes.

[@H.Despres]

Watched and listen again!!!! Bravo!!!!

[@linda_guitar8869]

I LOVE this! I've been working on my mandolin playing recently (on an old mandolin in poor condition), and I was finally able to get a very nice mandolin this month, but I've been wanting an Irish bouzouki like this for YEARS!!!!

[@kevmcgrandles2846]

Well my friend if you never do anything else in your life at least you can say you done that absolutely amazing very talented 🍀👍

[@Thaumazo83]

Astounding! Thank you so much for posting this!

[@nikeowl]

I'll be learning this one. A good session tune!

[@AtliJarlMartin]

Good grief! I just bought my first bouzouki and your channel is by far my favorite. What a freaking talent you are! Love your videos!

[@lightasmr6623]

This is beautiful 💞

[@builder309]

So loved this performance. I have sent the link to many of my music-lover friends to spread the word of your talent. I would enjoy seeing you play with Chris Thile, who hosts the NPR program Live From Here.

[@caevansjr]

Sadly, Live From Here was cancelled a while back...

[@Lindaguitar2]

Dude, you are amazing!!!! 💖💖💖

[@duffield55aj]

Amazing, that is something wonderful.

[@tarunnaugain3350]

It's a perfection, many thanks for this masterpiece🙏

[@mr.crighton9491]

"Let's play Toss the Feathers" he says. So, I play the version I know, your second version. "That's not it!" says he. hmm thinks I. So finally you've revealed the mystery of the double Toss. And you revealed them quite stunningly. I think you passed the audition.

[@ldm10385]

Just watched this for the third time today! You have killer chops and it shows how much you enjoy this music. Thanks for blessing us all this way.

[@rongplanet]

Great stuff. Loved it.

[@victoriaalbastra6325]

Masterful! Flawless! Bravo!

[@ΓιάννηςΚυριακούλης]

sooooooooooooooooooo fabulus! Please, let us know where can we find the score. Please, so much!

[@brigittecurt2956]

beautiful haunting , many layers of music weaving. Thank you

[@tonyadams6375]

Absolutely fantastic playing!

[@ryand.5857]

Man, that was outstanding! Loved it.

[@elmac80]

I actually can't stop listening to this. Going to learn it on the whistle. So great.

[@bradleycampbellbeall9488]

IN-CRED-I-BLE!!! What a performance, and what bright and cheerful tune. Thank you!

[@kadehebert201]

You’re welcome 😇, Kade.

[@szettner]

Beautiful playing and lovely instrument. I love bouzoukis that are resonant like that. Some of them are way too twangy, but that one has a nice, deep sound. Absolutely gorgeous!

[@edgleason8918]

I wonder if a collab with Łukasz Kapuściński would be a possibility.

[@Qualex14]

that's a really nice sounding instrument

[@r.d.stevens9482]

I play metal and I must say...you rock!

[@stephengalvin]

Beautiful fluid stuff, and it looks like you were really enjoying the playing, which is almost more important than anything else. Thanks for sharing your skill.

[@alexandermurray1680]

Μπράβο from Greece! Bravo!

[@hellgames-BR]

That's ultra amazing! Congratulations!

[@ktpuss]

Wow, amazing playing I’m blown away....I play a regular acoustic but couldn’t get near that speed. Came here due to seeing a bazouki for sale online locally and wondered about getting it 🙂.

[@berkeleyboy2022]

Omg this is so good

[@coco-xiii]

I listen to this almost every week.

[@judsonayers2470]

That was badass. Unadulterated badass.

[@ronzuchora3361]

Way cool! I'm picking up a bousouki this weekend...can't wait to get going with it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@darrenmulcahy8019]

Wow this guy can play 👍

[@philippegirod4816]

A flawless rendition! Thanks for uploading this video.

[@ludosdn]

Ciao from Italy, Tijn! I've recently found this channel and this video seems to be my favourite!!

[@xMetalxRobx]

You're amazing man. Gonna be in Ireland for the first time in a few days. Hope I can find some pub with music like that. Love the tune. Great recording. Super well played.

[@K.D.Meyers]

So how was your trip? Just curious... 😆

[@lmarsh5407]

Yeah lmao how was the trip, in a few days surely happened in the last 3 yrs

[@awlaser]

Beautiful work! Thanks so much

[@liamg1995]

You play beautifully and the recording is really good!

[@Kylie11724]

My goodness! 😍💓🙏 Where's the max volume setting? Ahh... there it is. mmm 🙂👌 taps foot

[@Quixpeed]

Hats off to a masterpiece performance

[@richh1576]

I tried this 'at speed' on a 5-string (melodic clawhammered) banjo ... I'm waitng for next week to have 3 of my fingers re-attached. Marvelous playing !!

[@МихаилКобзев-в7ъ]

Thank you so much for your covers. This is just a celebration for my ears, I love your misic.

[@Michael_Arnold]

Such beauty in the finger action!

[@lindamon8]

I've never heard better playing, fast but incredibly clean!

[@johanpeeters1849]

Great playing !!!! enjoyed listening it !!

[@manjx15]

Incredible!! No other word.. and simply a pleasure to listen and to watch!

[@more_riffage_in_my_diet]

I was thinking to myself, "That's a beautiful sounding bouzouki" then saw in description it's a Fylde and realised I needed to keep dreaming. Awesome playing.

[@jeanlouislaenens]

Very impressive playing !! Congrats !!

[@MorienMcBurnie]

This is insanely incredible, amazing job!

[@Thaumazo83]

Exactly what I wanted to express, nice choice of words, thanks! And thanks a lot to the player!

[@frankdonnelly8527]

out of this world . amazing THANKYOU

[@Whatzzzz999]

A joy! You have such a great feel for the music, and you communicate that feel so well. PS that's one hell of a quick and accurate left hand you've got there!

[@jonwells1579]

This is fantastic!! Very well played. Any chance of a video of your backing chords??

[@keyboy1001]

Can anybody tell if it's a spruce or cedar top? Beautiful playing btw

[@madbrowndog4887]

Two reels? I think two *variations* on Toss The Feathers! Mystery solved? Love it all, either way!

[@alanhopkins1721]

I saw you in an older video and you've gotten a bit better on your instrument eh? Best part of this video? You really enjoy making that music. It shows.

[@ashleykitson1300]

Bloody lovely chap. Inspirational to all us just starting down the road. Best bit, We can see exactly what you are doing

[@scillyautomatic]

Thanks for posting! This just makes me happy. :)

[@mohamedaslam4700]

Pure Talent Love from 🇮🇳

[@gregpowers4208]

Thanks for sharing this! Awesome.

[@sailingalbacora1702]

Excellent!!! 😎👍

[@pilgrimrecords]

Incredible!!! I use your videos as tutorials, difficult sometimes to play along but great for pickup some tunes in my bouzouki and try to play them right. Keep uploading and Congratulations, what a talent!!!

[@zapranoth1]

A tour de force! Absolutely amazing.

[@foofy14]

This brightened up my day, great playing!

[@Frakfayt]

Just splendid and with this crazy clear sound!

[@paulmart3114]

Mighty fine picking!

[@NiiloSirola]

Just wonderful.

[@mikeandtriciajohnson7241]

I'm trying to learn these tunes on a mandolin and can barely keep up when this video is played back at half speed! At full speed it's murderous, I wish I could play like that.

[@DanielCaza]

Awesome video! I love your style. Currently in the process of learning the Uilleann Pipes, I keep coming back here to listen to your music due to such a clean sound and great tempo. Thanks to this video, I was able to clear up some confusion learning Toss the Feathers. I Hand't realized there was two different versions. Keep up the great work!

[@velvetsound]

Very clean playing. Well done! :)
