Cooley's on Mandolin
Peak Fiddler's version.
I've been playing along with Peak with the speed at .75 - it's nearly playalongwithable at that speed. 

 Changing the speed of You Tube videos - you can change the speed by using the button that looks like a flower at the bottom right part of the screen. The notes of the tune still sound the same just slower. If you slow it to .25 it sounds positively spooky!


This is a link to MandoLessons.com

This is the website of an American guy giving free mandolin lessons. He does a lot of Irish stuff that seems to be OK - (some tunes get changed a lot in US).

Good for learning. Slow, regular rhythms.
Also does some jazz mandolin lessons for the dedicated mandolin player.

Slowing Down Tunes on You Tube

Note: For some reason, you have to click the Read More button to see all this post. Dunno why. Update: it's just three little dots with this sort of blog template.  I've just discovered that you can slow down tunes on You Tube by using the little flower/rachet thing at the bottom of the picture. The one that says Settings when you scroll over it.  It doesn't seem to affect the key, but it does sound weird when it's slowed to 0.25% Might be handy for learning tunes. 0.75% speed is useful.  This link takes you to a page that shows the sheet music while the tune plays in a mechanical way. It's not an exact transcription, but near enough.

The Hare's Paw

 Hare's Paw tutorial video from Eoin Stan O'Sullivan A Swedish Irish music class play The Famous Ballymote/ The Hare's Paw and Rainy Day. Somebody shouts "Whoo!" during the tune. That sort of behaviour should be illegal if you ask me. Good stuff though. Remember you can slow down You Tube vids by using the "flower" button Notes on the Session https://thesession.org/tunes/1462 The first version of this tune on the Session doesn't seem to quite match with the way  Eoin O'Sullivan plays it. Probably best to learn by ear from the vid, with help from the notes if needed. And here's the Famous Ballymote   notes on The Session. This is nearly the way it's played by the Swedish class. They put a little twiddly bit in extra.
