Marquette University: Jesuit's Guide to Cooley's Reel

[@michaelberry487]

You are one of the best teachers I've ever came across you know what you are doing

[@jettimite]

Boy you’re thorough! Can’t miss a note learning from this guy. Definitely the easiest to pick up tutorial I’ve seen yet.

[@seacoastlife]

It is so great to see you back putting out more of your wonderful videos. I started learning the tin whistle a little over a year ago mostly by watching your videos and they have been so much help. I have a long way to go yet but it has been so much fun. Thank you so much!

[@fergusneilmichaeldollabill4185]

He is ...i am a student of John Sheehan...of the Dubliners. But this guy is great

[@brandoncox3227]

Best tutorial I have seen for this song

[@norahroyce3722]

Awesome playing! I am seventeen and I have been playing my tin whistle for almost three years now (I play the flute as well), and I have to say, you are one of my biggest inspirations to continue to play and to become better. I love irish music because of my heritage and for the fact that I am an Irish dancer. 😸 Thanks for your committment to your videos and your instrument!!! :)

[@RyanDunsSJ]

Thank you! Who do you dance for?

[@norahroyce3722]

You probably have never heard of it, but it is a small irish dance school in Rochester MY called Rince Na Saor.

[@fergusneilmichaeldollabill4185]

I play..Chatanooga Choo Choo...Aqualung.... Diamonds are a girls best friend...and. Pogues...Floyd...Zep.. .Kashmir

[@skyricharde6629]

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I heard a rendition of this year ago, and it made it my favorite, later I learned that the person playing used all kinds of ornaments that i couldn't find in sheet music... but you... you used all of the ornaments and MORE! YAy!!

[@mellowmel2012]

Love the way you take time to break it down!👍🏻

[@bissellsmith8690]

I read about you on twitter. Just dialed in to see who this Jesuit Priest was at Marquette. I went to Marquette. Fr Kelly (once in Theology at Marquette) was a friend of my fathers from Campion ('30s), and Fr TJ Stemper was at Marquette in 1980-84 when I was there in admissions...also a classmate of my Fathers in Campion (30's). I graduated from Marquette in 1984. So good luck up there. Nice playing btw.

Please more And more trad lessons! I would support your irish trad songs! More reel And jig And Hornpipe! So beautiful And useful that you show us slow And teach us slow.

Thankyou so much for your lessons, your a great teacher, and so inspiring, God Bless you!

[@bonenfant96]

Awesome.

[@BrandtM84]

a master, thank you!

[@odawgg1232]

Question: for the F#-D-A-D-B-D-A-D leaps, can you explain if this should be without tonguing, tonguing every other note, or tonguing every note? I've seen lots of players play this type of passage very fast where it seems you wouldn't have time to do much tonguing, but playing it without often sounds sloppy to me...

[@TheRageAxie]

Very hard to play but you explain a lot easier greetings from Pakistan 🇵🇰

[@didierhicquel8497]

Merci beaucoup... Very usefull... you give me great help..

[@frandescontrolado]

Really goooood tutorial, thanks a lot!!!!

[@EddyW01]

Love watching you play, thank you. I was hoping you could go back to basics for absolute beginners, could/would that be possible

[@RyanDunsSJ]

Thanks. You mean, "go back" as in re-make the old videos? What kind of basics would be helpful to you?

[@EddyW01]

just a very basic tune broken down into simple steps without any ornamentation and showing the scale done correctly would be good. Thank you

[@fergusneilmichaeldollabill4185]

I play a lot of....things like...Chatanooga Choo Choo...Civil War...Floyd...Zep. .Kashmmir..but your videos are great. My hats off to you. Thank you. John Sheehan is my boy though. I learned from his tapes when I was 9. Dohertys Reel...and Belfast Hornpipe..etc.....cheers

[@MrMikijava]

but, why are you mixing religion with tin whistle?

[@RyanDunsSJ]

Because it's my channel?

[@INDYOSKARS]

The best answer to "why ?" is oftentimes just "why not ?" As in "ask a dumb question get a dumb answer".

[@musik102]

Am I stating the obvious, when I say that Cooley might be reel, but Jesus certainly isn't.
