PLEASE POST MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE!! I am a beginner and your style of teaching is excellent and very informative. This is an excellent way to learn chords in a given key and really get comfortable changing between them.

Hi everyone - it's taken a long time, but I think I've finally got to grips with all of the technology, including the software and hardware, to make better videos - so more will be coming to KZfaq! I'm also offering one-to-one online lessons on the bouzouki if anybody's interested. Check out my latest video for more information: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZacoayizMynhqs.html

Good video. Convinced me to retune my octave mandolin to GDAD. As well, changed the G and D bass strings to high/low pairs instead of unison. Way more twang and jangle.

thank you so much for this Declan... I'm an absolute beginner. Bought my octave mandolin from a very talented musician & instrument maker, Conan in Galway, about a year ago, brought it safely home to Australia, and finally really making a commitment to learn this beautiful instrument. Love the tin whistle too, as it sings to my soul

Just ordered an an Irish bouzouki which will have unison strings and be tuned in GDAD. Looking forward to starting with your excellent tutorial. Thanks so much. Are you able to recommend a good course to learn this instrument which also covers melody playing and song accompaniment?

GGDDAADD - more an Irish Bouzouki lesson than an Octave Mandolin - GGDDAAEE... What's the scale-length?

What's the tuning of your instrument? Can I play the Irish Bouzouki by tuning it like mandolin i.e GDAE? Many thanks in advance from Pune city, India

@topscoremusicacademy 8 ай бұрын

It's tuned GDAD, but another standard tuning is GDAE just like mandolin, violin or banjo. So you can definitely play bouzouki tuned to GDAE. 🙂

D major/minor chord is actually not really a chord, there are 2 songs. It's called D5 (or power chord)

nice intro to zouk, tuning to A440 before recording would be great. It's a serious turn-off to play along to when the presenter is a quarter tone sharp...
