Learn Cooley's Reel - Trad Tutorial by James Finnegan

[@DonalUiNeill]

Has baffled me that there really aren't many tenor banjo teachers that walk you through a tune, provide the tabs and sheet music and play at a level that is actually for beginners! Thanks so much for sharing. Officially subscribed!

Thanks a lot Donal! Your kind words really sum up what the channel is all about! Really appreciate the kind words.

I've been playing the tenor banjo for over twenty years. Played along at slow and medium pace and ❤ it. Keep up the good work.

@1:39 on the 4th mesure it sounds to me like you play FDFDD'AFD instead of FDADD'AFD

[@The_Banjo_Buddy]

Totally correct - apologies!
