Si Bheag Si Mhor - Turlough O'Carolan

My attempt at Keith Chappell's beautiful arrangement. Thanks to Dracapalley for providing the inspiration behind my recent purchase - the guitalele

[@vincecarnevale4406]

Very,very,nice,my tranquilizer for the day.

[@roughcutguitars]

Of the countless videos on YT, there are far fewer that show such understanding of the inherent synergy between an instrument and a song. Yours is way up that list. Thanks for this outstanding arrangement!

[@maHaTma86]

In some weeks i gonna buy my 3. guitar aswell and it gonna be a Yamaha-GL1 Guitarlele. This sound comes so close to the old music that was played on a harp 🥰 Dracapalley was my inspiration aswell to learn Keith Hinchliffes doctor john stafford arrangement and to buy the GL-1 soon. Greetings from Germany, chris. Let us keep Carolan's being and old magical tunes alive 🙏

[@mlydiat]

Simply beautiful!

[@Dracapalley]

Keep returning to this. Great, sweet touch. Please keep posting, your talent is rare.

[@finnmccool684]

WOW. Beautiful. I can't believe this small instrument produced such an incredible sound.

[@OldLadyTrucker]

such wonderful tone from that little instrument...

[@carlomelis4329]

Fantastic!!!Really good!!

[@MultiKoshiro]

Very beautiful!

[@twfianmurray]

Thanks very much - they're fun to play. The tuning is DGDGAD. It's arranged by Keefchap who very kindly has made the tab available to download.

[@eranhouja]

beautiful ! perfect for guitalele !

[@TourettesOrc]

chills and tears...

[@allancopland1768]

Wow! I could tell immediately that it was KEEF inspired. Awesome job, Love it!

[@johnkiersten]

a pleasure to listen to - thanks

[@tegan6562]

I LOVE this! can't stop listening to it, I love your harmony with your instrument, it makes magic and I'm spellbound. ( I play O'carolans music on my Flute)

[@oscilis]

Beautiful, clear playing.

[@MartinRaetzJr]

Bravo, this is really great!

[@Dracapalley]

Beautiful playing. Lucky little guitalele!

[@twfianmurray]

It is a lovely tune. Really impressed with your ukulele playing

[@douggauss5710]

Nicely rendered.

[@Lectrosoul]

Love it! thanks :D

[@AdeOw]

This should be an advert for the yamaha gl1. I was looking for a sound sample. This sold me. Truly beautiful.

[@keefchap]

Wow!! Just found this...beautifully played. Couldn't have done better myself... :D Thanks, Keith (Keefchap)

[@Akitrom]

Wow. That was awesome. I got my money's worth for internet this month.

[@BanjoWoodshed]

Hi twfian - wonderfully done. I'm not nearly as good a player as you and I've been working on Keefchap's version for about 2 years now - almost got it - but your version helped me through some parts that have been holding me back (after the 12/8 where it goes back to 3/4). I probably love this piece better than any other - thanks for posting. Dennis

[@luclevesque1345]

Superbe!

[@twfianmurray]

@cathalwhelehan . Hi, thanks very much for your kind words. I think i used some d'addario nylon strings - normal tension. I've not had any problems with the tuning so not quite sure what's going on there. If It carries on I guess it may be a problem with the tuning pegs. Will try and record something soon.

[@nikosblaxabas5338]

Cute instrument

[@johnchambers7468]

sweet

[@LadyLJOII]

The Shee would approve!

[@cathalwhelehan]

Truly virtuoso playing - so effortless! This and Dracapally's 'Carolan's Receipt' inspired me to get a GL1. Very happy with it so far but it's difficult to keep it tuned. I've set it DGDGAD to learn this but the 4th string breaks repeatedly (I use D'Addario EJ45s) - it only lasts about 2 days each time due to constant need to tune upwards. Any similar experience of this? Could do with a tip on the best strings to use - something for harder tension, perhaps? Thanks for a top top clip. More! More!

[@twfianmurray]

Thanks very much - it's a sweet little instrument. I put some standard classical strings on it.

[@johndrummond]

This is great! I can't believe a 60 quid instrument can sound like this. I can't find the tab anywhere though!

[@billarey930]

Beautifully played! I have enjoyed your playing of this many times and Keith Chappell's many times as well. You get a LOT out of that small package. Is the arrangement available somewhere - either in notation or tab?

[@twfianmurray]

@LAPUbutsekikMAG Thanks! I was inspired by Keith Chappell (Keefchap). If you look him up on youtube there should be a link to the tab. It's really fun to play

[@nickweiler3693]

Beautiful! Do you have a tab for this?

[@liminalharp]

That was lovely. I play this on the harp, but it sounds equally nice on the guitarlele :) You have given me a great present idea as to what to get for my boyfriend for the holiday. He was already interested in getting a parlor guitar. Do you know if the guitarlele is a similar size as a parlor guitar or is it smaller?

[@akatsu21]

Hi, Ian. So nice tune. I would like to try to play this. Could you please advice how I can get tab score of this keefchap arrangement?

[@KrisAudio]

Good sound, played with delicassy and feeling. I 'm thinking about get ting one guitalele too. After Dracapalley and you; the challenge is good! What is the tuning you use for this piece?

[@timblackwood1531]

Very nice work 🎸👌what tuning are u in..... And whats the the instrument

[@PhilippeBarrilliez]

wonderful performance Ian !!! That's right, the Guitalele is a small exciting musical instrument that I also use but my guitalele mark "Stagg" is a horror that does not fit the tuning. Certainly a problem of frets. A question: Could you tell me where to get the score of this beautiful music? I hope you put a lot of other music on your youtube channel. Musically Phil

[@zengravy]

This is beautiful.. I'm totally sold on the GL-1 now.. I was going to buy a baritone uke, but you can play this like a guitar! Did you need to put standard guitar strings on it? Or did you just tune the uke strings? I'm learning this tune too.. Thanks! Sx

[@sbh82cz]

Really nice !! Where can I get the tabs pls ?

[@CanaldoOTA]

Very Nice !!! Wich strings are using ? did u made any upgrade on the guitalele !? Mine doesnt have this beautiful entonation with stock strings.

[@ukesun]

Wonderful. Is this the Yamaha guitalele?

[@SopraninoUkulele]

lovely sound what kind of guitar is this? congratulations

[@twfianmurray]

Thanks very much - it's a little clumsy really compared to your playing but such a fun instrument - very glad I managed to find one

[@SopraninoUkulele]
