Irish jigs like you've never heard them before!

[@ceonach]

In Ireland we would say " now you're sucking diesel". Shit hot. Keep going, this is great. Reminds me of growing up in the 70s going to Horslips gigs. The other two regulars on the circuit were Thin Lizzie and Rory Gallagher. Quality always shines through and there's a wealth of material in the Irish repertoire. You're obviously enjoying it.

[@TradLib]

Thanks, Eugene! Well you're after naming 3 of my biggest influences there! Yeah there's so much to explore there in Irish Trad music, and it's such a natural progression to adapt it to rock and the electric guitar I think! 🤘

[@ceonach]

@@TradLib Have you heard an album by Arty McGlynn called "Causeway"?

[@liamtierney1504]

As a traditional Irish musician 1st time listening to this I didn't like it. But now on maybe my 5th time listening. I think I'm going to buy an electric guitar

[@Melvorgazh]

If it’s solid body I would recommend a Guild or a Gibson Firebird reversed body VII, mostly for their fantastic tones.

[@TradLib]

Omg, this is the absolute _highest_ of praise, thank you so much! :D

[@liamtierney1504]

@@TradLib update , I bought an electric guitar and a saxophone 🤣

[@TradLib]

@@liamtierney1504 Haha nice one! My brother bought a sax as well there recently, big learning curve I'd say!

[@stephenreed1298]

This is hot. Really reminds me of John Petrucci's Gloskow Kiss. I wished more electric players would tap in the Irish/Scottish/Celtic libraries. So many great tunes. If you can find it, Warblefly does a great Red Haired Boy.

[@TradLib]

Omg, Ikr? I think these melodies are a match made in heaven for the electric guitar! I couldn't find the Warblefly version...so I watched David Grier play it instead and wasn't disappointed! Thanks for the encouragement! :D

[@Melvorgazh]

Johnny Crean Hi! Irish trad players use mostly the ear. They start with slow sessions... I would recommend a slowdowner like AnyTune. And there are plenty of websites with scores and chord backing notations. + a few guitar tabs, but they are not really good most of the time. Otherwise type the name of the tune you wanna learn in DUCKDUCKGO or Yahoo and click on IMAGE, sometimes you got the chords that are often working well.
