The Lilting Banshee (With Tabs & Play Along Tracks) - Mandolin Lesson

[@ofOCBC]

Thank you for doing this! I've been looking for mandolin lessons online and yours are great.

Great song, definitely next on my list! I have to finish the Silver Spear first, though.

Now learning this one. The silver spear was my last one too. I always get the part A fairly easily and then struggle with part B. I don't know why! lol

When you play it fast, it feels like you start spacing the 8th notes unevenly, as if dotted or if it was swing. I don't want to be a dick about it, but aren't the 8th notes supposed to be spaced evenly and not in that sorta galloping rhythm? Is it just a flavour you add, perhaps? EDIT: I wanted to add that I think it's cool that you make videos. The mandolin is underappreciated.

Not with Irish trad tunes

[@massnb]

That's actually one meaning of lilt in Irish music, so it's especially fitting here

[@mikeydubbs8565]

Like stated before, with Irish tunes, the player has a lot more freedom to goof around and put their own personal spin on things. I have a habit of playing triplets instead of regular alternate picking in songs that are 3/3 or 3/4

Way too fast with the notes brother, would help to break some of it down more
