Here is a contra dance tune written by Jean-Paul Loyer. Collings MTO mandolin Bodhran track downloaded from YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PFn8KT91WY Very fun to play with!
The mandolin sounds fine, but are you sure it's a Collings and not your Weber 2-Point? Anyway, very accurate playing and the downloaded bodhran also fits in well.
Nice well done! It’s sounds good with a bodhran. I use a metronome but it’s because I still need to work on my triplets. I sometimes use Tunebook SD app too but I find the jig timing for that is a bit too waltz-like, not sort of extended enough. The link seems broken, is this the backing track here?
I like that song Robert - good rhythm and love the drum.
Thanks Ginny. atsunrise - That is the right link. I'll check on the link in my post. I am afraid I am not real tech savy. crisscross - It is my Collings playing but I found I only had pictures of a Weber Bighorn.....oh well.
Thanks Robert, I finally got around to recording this one. https://youtu.be/NN9K6kt9BMc
Fine jig picking, Simon, reminds me, I should practice the D-U-D-D-U-D movement again.
Thanks CC, though I used the internal microphone of the camera hence the background noise. I also used this metronome setting to give it a slight loping feel. (7:4 rather than the standard 2:1 for a jig) https://youtu.be/mtg3w7pmz_s
