Hi, I'm Ian Walsh with Onlinelessonvideos.com. Today we’re going to learn the Irish Reel “The Silver Spear”. It’s in the key of D major and here's the sample of it.
[Demonstration]
Let's start of by doing a little work with grace notes. We’re going to try the grace our finger here on the A string.
[Demonstration]
Let's slow this down, you want to grace with your third finger and you want to just lightly touch the string or come down on it and create percussive note.
[Demonstration]
Let's try doing that with an open A leading into it, so that’s sound like this.
[Demonstration]
Bring your third finger down right after you bring your first finger down.
[Demonstration]
Let's cycle through that a few more times.
[Demonstration]
And we’re going to put this right into our first part of The Silver Spear here. Here's where it comes in the play.
[Demonstration]
So it’s a small grace note but it happens right there at the B on the A string.
[Demonstration]
Some of those other notes there are F sharp on the D string.
[Demonstration]
And then some A triplets, it’s an A note followed by a triplet. So F, A and then the A triplet.
[Demonstration]
And we have our grace B.
[Demonstration]
And then A, F, A.
[Demonstration]
Let's cycle through that a few times. One, two—
[Demonstration]
One, two—
[Demonstration]
From there we play the D on our A string.
[Demonstration]
And then we put those two beats together.
[Demonstration]
One more time.
[Demonstration]
Good, from there we continue on with the rest of the first part.
