O'Keefe's Slide ~ Irish Fiddle Tune! | Katy Adelson

Here is a fun Irish fiddle tune called O'Keefe's. It's a slide, which is kind of like a jig, but has a more "bouncy" nature to the tune -- similar to a hornpipe. They also are also generally played at really fast tempos, but the "bouncy" vibe of the tune makes it feel like you aren't playing so fast. It's kind of strange...

I recently started to learn guitar! I thought I'd attempt to make a music video with it. I'm still very much a beginner... This tune only has the three chords, so I thought I'd attempt it. It's weirdly difficult to strum in tempo. It's like I think I'm strumming in tempo, and then I listen to it and realize I'm most definitely NOT, lol. It takes a lot of practice and self-critiquing...... I also bought a low G whistle by Susato and learned that low whistles are so much harder to make sound nice. This is actually the first music video I've made where it's 100% acoustic. I usually make my backing tracks with sample libraries rather than real instruments.

There have been a few deaths in the family recently, and I've been struggling a lot......I hadn't posted in a while, and thought I should try to start making things again, but still feel really sad about stuff...It's a hard balance.

Thank you for watching, and I hope you have a good rest of the week! =)
