Description: This workshop will focus on getting the feel, pulse and flow of Irish music into your mandolin playing. We’ll first highlight the fundamental job of the picking hand to express the various meters of Irish dance music – jigs, reels, polkas, slides, slip jigs and more. We’ll talk about phrasing and musicality, techniques for ornamentation and variation, and for building speed to play in sessions.
