I know plenty of youtube videos to learn a tune from, or to watch in awe as someone does some brilliant playing, but can anyone post links which might be good to just play along with for a while, like at a session, minus the banter and the Guinness of course? Somewhat well-known tunes, in sets, for a decent length, like a half hour or more?
Here you go Lizziejean. These should keep you busy!

I put together a YouTube playlist called "Play along" but it’s going to be quite specific to me—tunes I know played at a pace I can (try to) keep up with, and none of the videos are very long:

(Lots of Fergal Scahill doing his tune a day.)
Good idea Lizziejean
This is probably exactly what you’re looking for!

The person who posted the video (Niamhaines) that sergeant fox mentioned has loads more videos, click on his name to see them
In case you didn’t already know - youtube videos can be slowed down
Good tip, Gromit, but I think you’ll find that Niamhaines is female.
Thanks GW

These people are doing a weekly session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SITF30HBssM. I’ve been using it for my second and third instruments and slowing the video down so I can keep up.
Last time I checked every VR session from OAIM on youtube is the same series of tunes.
thanks guys! now I feel rich. So nice to have a trove of these. I am also looking at how to do a zoom session with other players which will scratch the itch. Can’t wait to get back to real sessions though.
Hi,
I just saw on one of Shannon Heaton’s videos that she ran one yesterday,
