Hello, this is Marla Fivish, and I'm with Peghead Nation, and I'm going to be teaching
the Irish mandolin class.
The class is going to cover quite an array.
We're going to talk technique, and we're going to talk about the music, because in my view
you can't separate the two.
We're going to learn different forms of Irish music, and how to play them on the mandolin.
So, jigs and reels, and polkas, and hornpipes, and slides, and you name it.
So I'll be teaching these tunes by ear, but there will be music available to you as a
follow-up, or as a companion to what we're doing, working by ear.
I'll be talking about the musicality, so the context of Irish music in general.
I'll talk about the modes, the key signatures that the music tends to be in, the time signatures.
We'll start first in getting a strong rhythmic [E] right hand for each type of tune, for each
dance meter, if you will.
We'll do exercises to build that up, and we'll learn tunes that leverage the things that
you're learning in the exercises.
So we'll get the right hand going, then we'll bring in phrasing, musicality, ornamentation,
variation, left hand ornamentation, [D#] and of course, the ubiquitous triplet.
Here's anything for John Joe.
I'll play it first, so you can get the feel for it.
Get it in your head, and then we'll learn it [Gm] phrase by phrase.
And you'll see it [F#] leverages the broken thirds that we did in the exercise.
[G] One, and two.
[E]
[F#] [E]
[G]
[C#] One of the things we'll pay special attention to are jigs, because jigs are the thing that's
often trickiest on the mandolin.
So getting that jig feel, so that the jig sound, if you will, jiggy, is the [D]
most important
thing in my view to really get you going and to sound like an Irish mandolin player.
