Mr Ferguson, you’re a legend, lad. I remember seeing your Byker Hill cover ages ago

[@craigwilkinson7328]

What a great version. Well done you.

[@nicklaskoenigmusic]

thanks for sharing Richie. Super fun bouzouki and singing!

[@jorisvangaal]

Great rendition of a beautiful song, Richie! Love the blends of your bouzouki, your voice and the shruti box. Very intruiging that shruti box as I haven't come across this instrument yet and it really adds a nice layer underneath your playing and singing. Keep up the good work 👍

[@richierosencrans7296]

Thank you!

[@ShaneIrwin7]

Love it! This is great.

[@adriennekraft2381]

Thanks for posting this charming cover of 3 fishers. I think Stan Rogers himself would really like your cover/ Please post more songs.

[@richierosencrans7296]

Thank you, I appreciate it! Will try to get another few recordings soon

[@MarlonGibbons]

Beautiful!

[@martinscuffinsmusicfilms9329]

Beautiful stuff mate. Thank you 🙏

[@AustinCapitalofGaming]

Amazing performance

[@jessiebombardier92]

How do you like the shruti box? Adds a nice dimension to the music. Yours is tuned to 440?

[@richierosencrans7296]

Oh yeah it's a great addition to the instrument collection. Mines tuned to 440 on a good day 😉. But actually the notes can be fine tuned with the paddles over the holes.

[@SayaNovinger]

Wow that was so beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@richierosencrans7296]

Thanks so much for listening! I'm honestly surprised at the kind responses to this lo-fi recording

[@SayaNovinger]

@@richierosencrans7296 Hi Richie! Thanks for responding. I'm a musician too, please check out my rendition of "The Well Below The Valley" if you have the chance. I really wish we could play and sing together! That would be so cool. Thank you for encouraging me to keep singing and doing music :)

[@GuyMillward]

I love this so much! You play and sing so beautifully. I'm seriously intrigued by your shruti box and am keen to get one myself. What make is yours? Also, what key is it in? Thanks.

[@richierosencrans7296]

Thanks so much!, the Shruti is maharaja brand. Key of C.

[@GuyMillward]

@@richierosencrans7296 No worries, and thanks for sharing your music. Would love to see more of your playing here on youtube if you get the chance. Have a blessed day.

[@Erwaninnature]

Happened to stumble on your song after cheking some irish bouzouki tracks ! It's so beautiful ! Congrats for that ! You should create a Spotify account ! :D

[@richierosencrans7296]

Thanks Erwan! My band Na Rósaí recorded this song on our first album and it's available on Spotify

[@Erwaninnature]

@@richierosencrans7296 Thanks very much Richie ! I'm definetely going to listen to it many many times ! Cheers from celtic Brittany ! ;)

[@channingdodson6133]

Nice one, Richie!

[@sweetgoose]

This is beautiful. Can i ask what bouzouki youre playing?

[@richierosencrans7296]

This is a Trillium bouzouki made by Robert Abrams in Nottingham New Hampshire USA

[@sweetgoose]

@@richierosencrans7296 it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@SNOBYMILLS]

Hi mate. Where did you get shruti from in UK?

[@richierosencrans7296]

Ordered from Amazon, one of the lower budget models, nothing fancy.

[@SNOBYMILLS]

It certainly does the job. Stunning

[@kamiloDavid.]

Hermosa interpretación amigo, consulta donde puedo comprar este instrumento soy de chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@richierosencrans7296]

Gracias, if you can't find a bouzouki, an octave mandolin is very similar

[@Melwow13]

How can I contact the luthier? Any way to communicate with Robert Abrams? GREAT SOUND!

[@richierosencrans7296]

It's a great instrument! Unfortunately Mr Abrams is no longer building instruments but they do show up on mandolin Cafe and banjo hangout websites for sale from time to time.

[@frankweir9514]

Just lovely...may I ask your tuning here? GDAD? GDAE?

[@richierosencrans7296]

Thanks Frank! Using GDAD for this one

[@frankweir9514]

@@richierosencrans7296 Thank you...LOVE to learn to play this tune AND love your playing! Found a Trinity College for $100 at a garage sale...want to learn to play it now. Do you have teaching materials at all?

[@richierosencrans7296]

@@frankweir9514 Yes! That's a good deal. I started on one of those instruments a ways back and it treated me well. I don't have any instructional stuff but search out Matt Heaton he posts from time to time on his wife Shannon's page about bouzouki and Irish music backing. It could be really helpful for a beginner. Best wishes!

[@frankweir9514]

Thank you again!!

[@ShatteredbyDecease]

Would you consider doing a full tutorial on how to play it exactly as you my friend? I've nailed the chords, but I seem to play them just a bit different. Also the gorgeous ornaments in the intermission at 1:35 and you add throughout the rest of the song would be crazy nice to learn! I would deeply appreciate it man. Love from Denmark!

[@richierosencrans7296]

I'm not sure I'll be able to do a full tutorial as I play it different each time. The two key things are the first chordal slide from A to Bm and the chordal "hammer-on" from the G to the A chord. These techniques are most frequently used for single notes but I love the motion they give to the chord changes. There are also two G chords I use, 0020 and 0550 as well as two A chords 2200 and 6000 depending on the moment in the song. Hope that helps a bit.

[@adriennekraft2381]

Thanks for commenting on the ornaments as I would not have really appreciated them otherwise. Always want to learn more about music.

[@denishdutrisac3413]

Beautifully played! Any chance in getting copy of the chords!

[@denishdutrisac3413]

Just saw some suggestions in other messages. Merci c’est apprécié!

[@WorldUkulele]

Very nice. Can you provide the chords?

[@richierosencrans7296]

Someone else has asked and they are below in the comments. Thanks!

[@comfywomfy]

This is beautiful mate. Bravo. What key is your Shruti box? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

[@richierosencrans7296]

Thank you! It's a C Shruti box with the F and Bb keys open

[@comfywomfy]

@@richierosencrans7296 Wonderful. Thanks mate. I love your bouzouki too 😬 All the best buddy.

[@vixen8854]

Hi, this is a beautiful version of a song I've always loved. Can I ask how you are playing your Bm and D chords please.

[@lindapixton2862]

Beautiful! Chords and lyrics please? Or let me know where I can purchase them, Tried finding it on line but no success yet. I play a Medieval Bouzouki fingerpicking style and would like to try to learn it, I can probablyh pick out the chords by ear, but I'm having trouble understanding all the lyrics.

[@richierosencrans7296]

Check out the version of this song from The Duhks. Those are lyrics I sing here. GDAD tuning, capo 3. Bm, G, A, D chords. Best wishes!

[@lindapixton2862]

@@richierosencrans7296 Thanks--got it! While I love your version of it, because I couldn't understand all your words I didn't realize until I read the words how very sad they are.. Your version of The Living In Me is beautiful and I want to include it when I record songs I sing for my 25 ggkids and soon to be 4 ggkids.

[@GuitarKelly]

Is this in standard tuning?

[@richierosencrans7296]

GDAD tuning

[@GuitarKelly]

@@richierosencrans7296 thankyou!

[@lokiatwa]

Hey any advice on picking up a Shruti for accompanying acoustic instruments? Debating between the entry level Jas or thomann one

[@richierosencrans7296]

I think this one was around $100 online. I feel lucky it's pretty close A440. There's one maker that builds really nice ones with a foot pedal called the bowring. If you have extra money to spend, that's what I'd do.

[@lokiatwa]

@@richierosencrans7296 dang 100 dollars seems like a steal, seem to hover around 250 ish upwards. The bowring looks really interesting alright. The Shruti really helps fill out the space. Great playing !

[@richierosencrans7296]

@@lokiatwa oh wow yes prices have def gone up, I just looked. This one is Maharaja which now goes for 180. Got mine 5 years ago at least.
