my dream is to visit scotland and cape breton. i binge watch travel videos to these areas and am learning scottish gaelic. thanx for the info!

Came across your comment, I'm very surprised as many ppl in France don't have a clue about CB! I grew up in CB and later lived in Brittany France. :)

I'm pretty sure that's "St. Andrew's Flight"

The air sounds like it comes from Shetland.

could you please go around you tube and do this with every fiddle tune ? ;) THANK YOU!!!

He's left handed playing a right handed guitar

Indeed. Playing a right-handed guitar, left-handed. Ashley MacIsaac has always played the fiddle left-handed on a right-handed fiddle. The highest pitch string is on the top rather than the bottom. That's how he has played it since he started fiddle as a kid. It's been noted in interviews I have seen. I think it's a fun way to play strings. I took a lefty guitar and held it right handed and played some lead riffs and worked out the chords, positioning my fingers in reverse for the chord fingerings. It's a neat way to do it. You can technically convert a stringed instrument from a right to left and vice versa. It's more than just re-stringing it upside down, though. The bone piece on the bridge of the body and the bone at the head need to be changed too, as well as other adjustments. That's what I have learned through talking to some luthiers and other guitar tech folk. Some say that in the long run, it isn't that great of a thing to do, though. I'd rather play a lefty guitar upside down based on that info I learned.

Mike supermtamike well spotted mike ,,,,,,,thought a wiz gon daft ,,,,,,,,,I had a friend that played the same ,,,,,sadly no longer with us ,,,,,,,,still miss you terry ,,RIP,,,,

Maybe that is how he learned to play. I have left handed screwdrivers I can use just as well with my right hand. Imagine that?

Actually, they're from Cape Breton, not Ireland. They play a mixture of Scottish, Cape Breton, and Irish tunes.

The style is from Cape Breton which is mainly Scottish in heritage

Naw just cape bretoners are clever like that

You speak well for so many of us. " if I could I would, but I can't or so I won't" it's the practice that get ya down, my biggest fans are the furniture in my living room.

"It should make you want to practice more!" is a neat thing that I just heard after someone said a similar thing to what you did on the live chat of this year's Celtic Colours.

you should play it for you is my personal philosophy

Yep~! whoooo!

Billy Slade I think they teach often Tate Gaelic college in Cape Breton
