The Parting Glass - Ger O Donnell

[@bricolagekitchen]

Listened to this many times - the best version by anyone - exquisite touch on guitar and wonderful voice

[@savsongs1306]

really nice version.......Freddy White has an incredible version as well.

[@neorich59]

This is the sort of ballad I love. Ger, puts his heart and soul into the delivery, but it's self contained and restrained and all the more moving for it. The guitar work is exquisite.

[@pattidale7968]

Could sit around a campfire all nite and listen to this man speak, play and sing.

[@ILoveMagic15]

This is the best version I've ever heard. Absolutely wonderful!

[@jamesmccluskey5756]

Its beautiful when music deals with a different aspect of love and that its not always about warm tummies and joyful moments of passion, but sadness also, usually at the end. The melancholy in the notes sound mournful...I think it reminds us that relationships are about surrender to an inherent vunerability...enemies can hurt you, but only love consumes you utterly

[@stephenpaulpatrick]

Wonderful insight!

[@raynebeveridge8960]

I’m a trained opera singer and been teaching voice for over a decade. Great job, my friend. I’ll be learning this song from you.

[@freejulianassange537]

Exquisitely beautifully done. Bravo from sunny South Australia!

Dude. Every now and then i just come back to your music. There is something so very special about it all. Thank you for offering us some joy. Where are you in the world?

[@chrisknowles]

Simple and pure, the open chords evoke a lovely melancholy. This song always brings a tear. Thanks for sharing.

[@brendanconway7317]

[@CrossBonesAlex]

So beautiful - voice and guitar equally 🎶👌

[@patrickthomasanthonyhoward5256]

So beautiful. Would love to hear you and Laura Snowden do a duet on this song. That would be amazing. Thanks Ger for all the beautiful music.

[@LHudsonARTLIFTS]

Have you done any Stan Rogers covers? Your voice would fit perfectly with his work!

[@ahargrov1]

As soon as he opened his mouth I said "Holy shit" and subscribed

Sometimes I listen to a song expecting a cover but this is the only version for me.

Brillant Rendition. Thumbs Up

[@diarmuidmccabe7873]

Very fine singer.

[@dickiedonnelly4223]

Unreal

[@bridgieohare8653]

Amazing job

[@jimvautour595]

Ger ... are you in a DADGAD tuning ?? It's the sweetest & strongest version I've heard of this georgeous song, your guitar work & voice stirs the heart deeply. For listeners who love this song, also check out the version done by the University Dublin Choral group. Thank you Ger.

[@gerodonnell]

Yes it’s DADGAD alright, we’ll spotted

[@Beegs164]

Oh this is a winner

[@suepy__]

amazing voice

[@fetermcblues]

This is so deep

[@francette19380]

I love

[@soundthebox867]

Only the Irish can sing it with the pathos it deserves!

[@louiesmooth6761]

Outstanding version! I just sat for about 3 hours working it all out on guitar... Doesn't sound the same without that voice though!

[@phildavies1240]

Louiesmooth l would love to know the chords you have for this. It’s so nice.

[@louiesmooth6761]

@@phildavies1240 probably easier for me to post a quick tutorial video because I don't really know all the chord names! I'll let you know as soon as I get around to it (it won't be perfect!)

[@gerodonnell]

Ah that’s lovely to hear!! 💚

[@matthewlanzi8501]

Dude your version of this is punching me in the gut. In a good way lol Truly amazing. I’d like to learn your arrangement, but I can’t seem to map the chords you’re using. Could you tell me what they are so I can learn them?

[@thomaserb9162]

Ger, this is the best version of this great song that I' ve hears so far .... Is there a Tab for this great guitar playing?

[@gerodonnell]

Afraid not, I was making it up as I went along I’m afraid

[@kevin11007]

Type into youtube The parting glass, some great versions, but this is the benchmark version.

[@dang2630]

Wow this is incredible. This in standard tuning?

[@gerodonnell]

Thanks, DADGAD

[@doodeen]

A stunning version! Just wondering are you in DAdgad.?Thanks for posting.

[@dang9269]

Is this in standard tuning? I love it man really wana learn to play it

[@ILoveMagic15]

It's in DADGAD

[@lukebell5482]

Lovely job what tuning do you have it in if you don’t mind me asking

[@Oscarhobbit]

This is a lovely version of the song. Are you using open G turning?

[@hotriffs4824]

Why isn’t this on Spotify😫

[@gerodonnell]

Ah I might, Spotify is such a rip off for artists

[@Rhys4444]

🙏

[@ahil1028]

Great rendition of this song, love it! Any chance we could get a quick guitar notation for your arrangement? Guitar tuning and chords would be most welcome and save me some time figure it out on my own. Standard notation or tablature would be amazing obviously, but I get that those take much more time.

[@gerodonnell]

Breedlove doing the tab up as I have spare minutes..

Ger O Donnell Music where can I find this Ger?

[@michaelgadeke5712]

Nicely done. What key are you singing in?

[@glennmacpherson2146]

is that a Louden ?

[@johncracker5217]

What the hell is that chord he plays in the first chorus. It’s incredibly subtle and sounds like an 11th chord and he doesn’t play it in chorus 2 or 3. Maybe it was a happy accident but damn it sounded good

[@thearchitect5344]

Is this Ger Kelly?

[@rambomambo]

hi, is this in standard tuning?

[@samvermeulen9740]

What tuning is this? DADGAD?

[@gerodonnell]

Sam Vermeulen got it in one

[@jonathansimmons8256]

Who is this guy?

[@tonycarey1117]

He is the great GerODonnell multi instrumentalist, song writer, a very generous man with his music, just check out his channel, we are blessed to have him, he got me through the lockdown, and saved my sanity...
