The Torn Jacket Reel (Plus How To Play In Sessions!)

[@seanmcmanamon3773]

Fantastic lesson. Very encouraging to us newcomers.

Really nicely played and demonstrated Enda. I'm a fiddler. I chose to play "The Torn Jacket" before "The Peeler's Jacket". There are lots of alternatives of course.

Great tutorial, Enda!

[@aoifehorgan3617]

Brilliant. Thank you!

[@gam1471]

How many crochet (quarter note) beats per minute would you suggest for a reel? A terrific lesson, your advice regarding triplets switched on the light bulb for me, thanks very much!

[@IrishTenorBanjo]

100 BPM is a good benchmark for decent speed. A fast session probably is in the region of 120 but the 100 mark is definitely one to aim for.

@@IrishTenorBanjo Thanks Enda. I've had a go with the metronome, and I'm pleased to report that I'm able to play around 100 to 110 - but not with triplets in the mix, so there's work to be done!
