One of the best things I have ever done in my life was subscribe to Online Academy of Irish Music. I can just feel my green roots a-ti'ngo'ling. Go raibh maith agat.

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi John, thanks for the shout out and delighted you're getting a lot out of the site :)

[@OneDrunkWizard]

As a citizen of culturally devoid America that dreams of going to Ireland one day, and trying learn trad, OAIM is a godsend. Thank you for putting these lessons out. I'll be paying for the courses soon. Such high quality.

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

You're welcome !

[@nickpaz9113]

American culture is the most influential culture in the world. Now that may not be a good thing LOL but there’s certainly a culture

[@eamonnobrien1410]

Great lesson thanks

[@BrokenSofa]

French is the only accent that throws in its own words in english and you don't get mad about it. Great video by the way 😃👍

[@jessthesongwriter]

The online Irish music academy taught by the French guy. I love it! I'm half French too : )

[@patguinan1091]

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi Pat, Anyone that puts time and effort into learning the guitar is going to get reward for their effort. Keep going and see how you've improved in a month - let us know :)

[@marilynburgo7542]

IrishMusicAcademy would you please help me get connected to your 50 song challenge? Whatever I'm doing to download and print the pieces plus lessons isn't working-- maybe I have to try on my computer instead of phone--- don't know.

[@arcanics1971]

I have just become interested in ITM, and despite having played guitar for some years I am struggling with playing ITM. Partly because of the unusual rhythm and partly because the chords I assume will fit often don't quite sound right. Hopefully I shall get there with such help as this. Thank you.

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Great lesson. What is the name of this tune? Thanks!

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi, the tune is called the Mountain Road. Lot’s more lessons and a great course to help you progress quickly on the site - www.oaim.ie/guitar/guitar-basics-accompaniment/

[@jec0435]

Is there a reason you are not using your index finger on the A string with your G chord?

[@williamritson6357]

Hi, great video. What is the name of this piece?

[@irishtunes3674]

The Mountain road

[@manuelpena3988]

3:40 it's funny how you say "the same amount of stregth" and inmediately after that you play it with very varying strenght

[@sauravlama8821]

Hello, Just started with Irish music.What i have learned upto now is the DADGAD tuning and a few chord shapes. Could you help me with learning scales both major and minor usuing the above mentioned alternative tuning and give me tips regarding improvisation. Thank you for the lesson.Helped a lot.

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi, sure we can help - check out Jean's full graded course on the website here - oaim.ie/course/34/guitar_basics_for_standard_tuning_accompaniment

DAGDA the Irish god

[@giano84]

really can't understand the A mj variation chord....where do you have to put the fingers??

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi Giovanni, you can find the chord shapes on the OAIM website. This is one of the 50+ free lessons on the site. Sign up for free then search for 'Guitar Basics' www.oaim.ie

[@giano84]

Online Academy of Irish Music I’m already in, but in the chord sheet, there’s no variation

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

@@giano84 I'll investigate and get back to you asap.

[@cinetimeoff8003]

y'a t-il possibilité d'avoir les tablatures d'accord de ce tuto?

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Oui, vérifier ceux sur le site Web oaim.ie. Also in French language if you wish - www.oaim.ie/course/38/laccompagnement_de_la_musique_traditionnelle_irlandaise_en_accordage_standard

[@SuperStellario]

Hello! I'm desperately looking for the chords (with lyrics) of an irish song called "Cunla". Could you send me the chords if you have them? Go raibh maith agoibh, Claudio

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi Claudio, I've never heard of that song, sorry.

[@jordanlivelymusic]

The verse bit uses the chords D, C, G and Am while the chorus part is based around D, G and A (major this time instead of minor), from what I can figure out from Planxty's recording of it anyway. Pierre Bensusan does a nice rendition of it fingerstyle.

[@sychustudio2525]

Whats the title of this music?

[@irishtunes3674]

The Mountain road

[@TegsPal]

Great, but the only problem is it's not in Irish tuning DADGAD

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi Andrew, Here's the DADGAD course with free lesson - www.oaim.ie/guitar/dadgad-guitar-accompaniment/

[@TegsPal]

@@onlineacademyofirishmusic thank you ☺

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

You're welcome!

[@derrickdoiron4421]

You do realize that not everyone who plays Irish Trad plays in DADGAD. A lot play standard and Drop D.
