I think this is one of the best bouzouki lessons I have ever seen! Truly! Slow enough and the explanations of when to use certain things really helped me!
-
Very good video presentation on Irish Bouzouki (octave mandolin) playing. Looking forward to your workshop in a few weeks.
-
I've been playing my mandolin on steroids since dinosaurs roamed the earth, but usual mandolin tuning. I enjoyed this introduction to the GDAD tuning. Years ago, we played in Chicago with Mike Ryan, who used that tuning. And I really loved how he backed up what Margaret and I were singing/playing. Since I usually play guitar in DADGAD, this tuning would not be too hard to figure out. Anyway, glad to have stumbled on to this video. Hope all is well with you all.

Thanks! Happy holidays! 🤶🎅🏻🙂😎

Those bouzouki lessons seem very instructive for guitar players as well 😺 Thanks Master Matt ;)

I’m a bit more advanced than an absolute beginner, but I loved this video. Unfortunately I’ve become more of a strummer than a picker. I’ve been practicing up down up down picking on the 4 2 3 1 strings. Waiting for the muscle memory to kick in. Great helpful video. I’ve enjoyed seeing Shannon and you in the greater Boston area over the years. Keep the video’s coming. Tom

Great tutorial Matt...Carry on Sir
-
Wish I had a bouzouki to learn & play alone Matt. It doesn't seem as challenging as I had thought!( sign of a good teacher too :) Great introductory lesson! Thanks :)
-
Nice
-
Thank you it was fantastic for someone who has no idea how to play the bouzouki 😊 i’m referring to myself lol
-
Very good one of the best bouzouki lessons nice and slow. Why do the others make it so complicated? I'm looking forward to the next lesson. Please what microphone are you using? Kind Regards, Germany😇
-
ps: that microphone is gorgeous! Circular and chromy. Mustn’t be cheap. I only got a Unidyne Shure, it’s old but has an excellent sound too.
-
I ordered a bouzouki based on playing the mandolin and violin right now (on a basic level). I played guitar and bass years ago.. I imagine the mando and fiddle transfer over to bouzouki easily?
-
Until Matt said it I couldn’t tell if it was a bouzouki or an octave mandolin. I shall look for video and sound comparisons. I like that mandolin of Matt sound anyway :) The band Clannad had a nice mandolin sound in the 70s and early 80s. Which top 5 bands of Matt use a mandolin or a bouzouki? I loved that Dé Danann guy with the big moustache(not Johnny Moynihan, the other one)
-
Great video! Quick question: what gauges of strings do you use for each chorus pair?
-
This is such a mundane question, but I was wondering what strap Matt is using in this video. I just purchased a Trinity College bouzouki and need a good solid strap with pin holes on each end to attach to two strap buttons on either side of the body. I like the idea of the grip a wide strap would offer (maybe with a rougher underside for additional grip)
-
how would you play the bouzouki in company with guitar? Thinking about getting a bouzouki to add some richness to a church choir that's only using a 6 string guitar
-
Hi Matt, can you share the brand name of your octave mandolin please ?
-
Hi Matt and Shannon there is another video next of 6:24 min with almost the same title 🧐 Strange. Perhaps I could tune my guitar like a bouzouki

10:56 "Fingering D minor" lol
