The Irish Mandolin

Many thanks, Jeremy, for sharing this link.

The primary purpose of the site is as a learning aid to mandolinists who are reasonably new to playing Irish music on the mandolin. There’s a lot of "woodshedding" in the early days of playing any instrument in any genre. Hopefully the site will be a means of making that woodshedding just a little bit more productive than it may otherwise have been.

In addition to the main section of the site, there’s also a section featuring many notable exponents of the Irish mandolin. And a section for some music-related musings…

Enjoy!

Thanks again to Jeremy for the link.

Aidan has done a fine job of recording popular tunes for players to learn as well as sharing his thoughts on traditional Irish music and collecting some fine examples of mandolin playing. The tunes for learning are played at medium tempo and will suit pretty much any instrument , not just mandolin.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Rosin. I’ve only just noticed your endorsement and it’s much appreciated. Aidan
