Irish Rhythm Guitar

Slap the word Irish in front of anything these days and you've got a winner. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Irish, The Irish Whisperer or I.R.A. Confidential. I'm presently working on a script which I think will offer good demographics: Mazeltov, Danny Boy, the story of an Irish-Jewish bar mitzvah held on the Titanic, with all parts played by Beanie Babies. Irish Rhythm Guitar??? Jesus, Mary and Jimi Hendrix, wot are dey tinking of? Believe it or not, it's grand. Instructor John Doyle, backed by John Williams (the button accordion player, not the Oscar-winning soundtrack composer), strums a foot-tapping 4/4 accompaniment to a wide range of reels, jigs, slip jigs and hornpipes, in this solid instructional guide. Viewers will learn over a dozen tunes such as "Humours of Whiskey," "The Fermoy Lasses" and "The Girl That Broke My Heart" played in a manner that is...distinctively Irish? 'Tis. Recommended.
