Summer Project: The Banshee

I'm finally broken of the habit of spelling it 'beansidhe', because The Beansidhe is not a reel anyone knows. So fine, The Banshee it is...

I'm learning two variations of it, but the one I know better is the one that my teacher taught to me, so I'll be playing that one for now, even if I like the other one more. I'm a little early with this upload, but it'll give me more time to work on Tobin's Favourite, which is a simple enough tune, but learning anything on my own is hard for me right now.

Anyway, here it is:

Summer Project Intro + First Song

I recently got a music teacher, but I won't be seeing her for summer, so my goal is to hold myself to learning 1 new session song a week. It's a lofty goal, and I don't think I'll hold to it 100%, but...the goal, at least, is there. I will also try to keep track of the songs that I know, and upload them here as I go. The original idea was a video diary of sorts, but I found a wonderful audio program that records in beautiful quality, and where I can play around with reverb and other effects, which is more fun for me, so I think I'll just be uploading songs that way.

I learned Ward's Jig a few weeks ago, and I'm cleaning up Snowy Path. This week's tune is The Banshee, which I aim to upload on Thursday (since Thursday is the day I would normally have my lesson.) And next week, I will try to learn Tobin's Favourite. After that...we'll see. :P

Anyway, as a precursor to the weekly tunes I'm supposed to learn, here's a recording of me playing Ward's. (With reverb. I'm excited. XD)
