This is the most beautiful recording I’ve ever heard. Thank you

[@NiiloSirola]

You're very welcome

[@sylvaindupuy6752]

I agree This tune is on my phone I can listen to it at any time

[@imagelinkfilms2100]

That backing guitar guy is Off the Charts. And I'm here to acknowledge that performer. Well done Backing Guitar Guy. Banjo man - you know you're great too! ; )

[@NiiloSirola]

Thanks, speaking as both guys :)

damn, the drop from Glasgow Reel to Juli Delaney's is sick! :D Listening to your playing is always a lot of fun :)

Brilliant! Great performance. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent sound and great playing.

[@selviince4672]

Love it!

[@flatfluters]

Brilliant..a pleasure to listen to…

[@devinnewman2397]

Just learning. I'm gonna do this some day. Thank you lads.

[@NiiloSirola]

Thanks! Yes the first one isn't at all as difficult as it sounds

[@RisingDimond]

Niilo, Just wanted to say thank you for all of the great videos! I am a newer mandolin player (Octave and standard) who is starting to make some decent strides in his development. I also play the Irish whistle (Low and standard D), and the Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer. My style of music appears to fall directly in line with yours. I love Irish tunes: reels, hornpipes, jigs etc. I have been eyeing an Irish Tenor Banjo for some time, but telling myself no, I cannot have ANOTHER instrument... but... you have pushed me over the edge. So, THANKS!!! Keep up the great work man, people like you get other people excited about music! P.S. I learned the tune Julia Delaney after watching this video, it's so cool! All the best, -Anthony

[@NiiloSirola]

Anthony Reilly Thanks! Never hurts to have another instrument :)

[@dacisky]

@@NiiloSirola I agree. I love this music. I play the hammer dulcimer,D penny whistle and mandolin. This banjo sounds WONDERFUL!

[@FlatlandMando]

These are two of my favourite tenor banjo melodies. I am learning the first ( no triplets yet) & I am daunted by the second but I'll tackle it.

[@Jerome280115]

I love this tune. Bravo ! Good feeling !

[@henryrenefloreslopez8060]

Very good, a question, wath is tunnig in your banjo is 4 strings irish?, my banjo is 4 string and tuned 1 E 2 A 3 D 4 G anf 22 brackets, is correctly?

[@NiiloSirola]

Thanks! Yes that’s the tuning, same as mandolin or violin

[@техлогик]

Super :₽

[@ambu6478]

Amazing! I love the sound of the Open Back Banjo much more than the Resonator Banjos in most Irish/Celtic music. To me it sounds more natural. Can I ask what key your Banjo is tuned to? Thanks!!

[@NiiloSirola]

Thanks! It’s the standard GDAE

[@sgtcrab2569]

Glasgow also known as Tam Lin I think.

[@Orourkebanjo]

Irish bouzouki has such a great tone.

[@urielprince12]

Can I play this on my mandolin?

[@NiiloSirola]

uriel prince sure, and if it's in the usual GDAE tuning then the fingerings are the same as well

[@spriggan1437]

What kind of banjo do you have?

[@NiiloSirola]

It's Pilgrim Celtic Dawn Model 2

[@banjohead50]

what stings do you use if you don't mind me asking?

[@NiiloSirola]

Hi, they’re D'Addario loop end steel LE011, and phosphor bronze wound LE018P, LE026PB, LE036P. I buy single strings to make custom sets for all my instruments

[@muradbinmuslim8456]

Hello. I really like this song please give tabs . Thank you

[@qquara]

io ho trovato le tabs di tutte e due le reels su www.mandolessons.com, ma ci sono sicuramente anche su www.mandozine.com e su www.thesession.org.

[@rmenger]

What gauge strings are you using? Sounds great!

[@NiiloSirola]

Richard Menger Thanks! 11-18-26-36. Note the A string is also wound, not plain

[@rmenger]

Sounds like what I need... where do you get the set?

[@NiiloSirola]

Richard Menger I just buy a whole lot of D'Addario single strings from the internet for all my instruments at the same time

[@rmenger]

OK.. thanks for the info!

[@kieranmckay3034]

Can I be a pain and ask what make and model your banjo is?! I use a wee 17 fret Barnes and Mullins Empress...

[@NiiloSirola]

Pilgrim Celtic Dawn Model 2. Get 19 frets on it but I don't remember ever venturing even above the 7th..

[@plamch445]

[@banjohead50]

nice sound off your banjo.what make is it.

[@NiiloSirola]

Pilgrim Celtic Dawn 2

[@FlatlandMando]

I see thst intersting accompaniment & would like to know more about it..octave mando? tuning & chords. Very nice complement to the banjo.

[@NiiloSirola]

Thanks! It's an Irish bouzouki in GDAD tuning, although the difference from octave mandolin is not big. I've actually put the chords up in the video description

[@lucasw3490]

They go so well together - well played! Do you have sheet music for that exact melody line :)?

[@NiiloSirola]

Thanks! I've just added the sheet music at irish.muualla.net/reel/tam-lin-aka-glasgow-reel-julia-delaneys/

[@lucasw3490]

@@NiiloSirola Thank you!!!

[@lemelancholic1755]

shouldnt the bouzouki be tuned Cgda

[@NiiloSirola]

That would be mandocello tuning I think

[@kieranmckay8221]

Keep coming back to this set again and again Nillo your best set in my opinion! Is there any chance you could send me banjo tab of this set in the same key if I give you my email address

[@NiiloSirola]

No probs, I did a quick tab conversion here: irish.muualla.net/wp-content/uploads/tam-lin-set-banjo-tab.pdf

@@NiiloSirola much appreciated Niilo! I'm also looking for a pilgrim celtic dawn as well but they don't make them anymore so I'm trying to find a used one online! Lovely tone off yours!
