Hey! In this guitar lesson we’ll take a look at Whiskey Before Breakfast. There are 2 versions in this arrangement - the first is played mainly in the open position around open chords, while the second is played using the floating technique and ventures up the neck.

Nice tone on that D18 what year is it? What strings? Flat pick?

[@pickinlessons]

Cheers. 1967, Elixar Mediums & the pick may have been a Bluechip TAD 60. These days I’m using a TAD 50 on the Martin.

Who plays the backing?

[@pickinlessons]

I pre-record the rhythm guitar myself :)

Pickin' Lessons Cook! And how do you start it? With a pedal? Or you put a delay after pressing a button? Maybe it is a loop? Do you know any duo of 2 guitar players who play Irish dance tunes like reels and jigs, 1 backer and 1 flatpicker by any chance? There is so few recordings of that. The best I know is Arty Mcglynn backed by Paul Brady. I'll try to ask Ed Boyd or Donough Henessy. There is in Boston Matt Heaton who plays both backing and flatpicking :) Do you watch there Live sessions sometimes? Cheers! Sláinte agat.
