The Glasgow Reel (Tam Lin) (With Tabs & Play Along Tracks) - Mandolin Lesson

[@waynemorrison3598]

I'm an Irish tenor banjo player. We often steal mando stuff. I just have to say, you teach exceedingly well. I simply can't believe how quickly this tune is falling into place by using this video!

[@MandoLessons]

+Wayne Morrison So glad to hear it! Thanks!

​@@MandoLessonsHi, nice lesson. There are so many versions of this tune on "the session" that it's hard to find a definitive one, but this is a great instructional video. However, you have it listed as "Traditional" on the sheet music, whereas in fact it was composed by Davey Arthur.

[@back-pocket]

I'm new to the mandolin and this happened to be the first tune I decided to learn. Your teaching technique is perfect, and with practice I had this one down! Cheers for putting these out for free.

[@MandoLessons]

+Emma Butler Cool! This is an adventurous tune to start with, you must like a challenge! Kudos to you! Thanks, Baron

[@direthered1260]

Aye me too! I just picked up my bargain mandolin so I could learn during my back packing. First song to really catch my ear and want to learn. Hope you got it down by now :)

[@carlwilson5339]

I want you learn this ...... mandolin first then fiddle

[@claudiawittig1516]

Great job teaching this lovely tune! You've explained it so well, I've had it down in no time. Thanks!

[@TheTwitchyLee]

It's definitely a learning curve trying to figure out a song this way without notes in front of me but it's definitely fun figuring it out by ear. Great lesson

[@ninobenjamin4067]

You are an amazing teacher... I'm trying not to watch the video only listen! So I can learn by ear... the way u break it down is brilliant... thank you

[@juicebox-autoworks4996]

the reason why it's called Tamlin because in the late 60s and early 70s there was band called tamlinn (not tamlin) a guy named Davey Arthur and George furey came up with the tune on the way to Holland to do a tour, Eddie furey came up with the name of the tune, the tune became a hit quick then Davey changed it to the Glasgow reel in the 80s, that group of people are now known as the fureys (happy to be one of them)

[@ryderdeyn]

Thank you so much! You have a marvellous teaching method, great tune too.

[@coffindodja8084]

Thank you; I love the tune and couldn't get it right til I watched the video through. Great teaching!

Hi, this one has pushed me - I love it! Thanks so much for what you do :-)

[@Andy97906]

Dude that was so tight.. sounds so good! This is my next one I’m gonna learn.. I have been wanting to send money but I have no job.. I wonder if I send money would I get any better

[@FlatlandMando]

Good grief, that finished tune, done by you just gets up & jumps. Also you have the patience to go absolutely step by step. It is an Everest if a tune. Thanks sensei.

[@MandoLessons]

+FlatlandMando Thanks for the kind words! Glad you are enjoying it!

[@RWolf215]

I can play this song on the violin, and as I see the note map of this song almost the same on the mandolin. So my question is that is it hard to learn to play the mandolin by myself after the violin?

[@treefrog1956]

I think it's far easier for a violin player to adapt to the mandolin than vice versa. The most difficult part would probably be getting the hang of using a plectrum.

[@MandoLessons]

TreeFrog has it right! I think you can do it!

[@HappyAttitude]

Thanks for this great lesson :)

[@Rotoman3795]

It looks like on the 'spruced up' versions you're doing mostly open double stops, is that right?

[@MandoLessons]

Yep! With all the string crossing in this tune it is a great one for leaving fingers down and widening out your right hand in to double stops. Thanks for watching!

[@Rotoman3795]

MandoLessons Awesome! Thanks for the response and keep up the great work! Can't wait to dig into this one this weekend.

How about rank stranger?

[@reapingshadow2866]

Hello. I need helping with the backing chords. Dm B C. Am I right? Pls tell me.

[@frankohashiguchi]

Dm, Bb, C. Check out www.mandolessons.com/lessons/fiddle-tunes/tam-lin-the-glasgow

[@frankohashiguchi]

And some bums, er, me, toss in an Am between final C and Dm at the end of the "B" section. 2nd beat as a passing chord.

[@reapingshadow2866]

@@frankohashiguchi Thank you, content on the link is awesome.

[@roberthickman6973]

D minor, unusual key for this.

[@MandoLessons]

+Robert Hickman I've only heard it in Dm here in New England. What key do you commonly hear it in? Thanks for watching! Baron

[@pelumaad331]

The key is "A"?

[@MandoLessons]

+Pelu Maad THe key is D minor. Thanks for watching!

[@wildzangmo5809]

Great tune but just an FYI - Glasgow is pronounced Glas-go, not Glas-gow! Or Gles-ga if you're from there...

[@cooperradley]

FYI - “Gles-gae” not “Gles-ga” (I’m from there 😊)

[@wildzangmo5809]

[@cooperradley]

Wild Zangmo good for you 👍🏼

[@robgoodson7506]

Why should he need to apologize for having an American accent. Wow.

[@Andy97906]

I just wish I could play faster without hitting other cords or missing.. oor gettin The Up or down wrong..

[@dennis-bn9zu]

Hey, could someone give me the tune of the strings?

[@cptvanier]

its GDAE, from lowest to highest. Sorry nobody answered quicker. Standard mando (and violin) tuning

[@Randomwake999]

Americans: Glaz-Gow (like cow) Glaswegians & Scots: Glas-GO. Glasgow. respect though :)
