The Blockers Reel - Sean Ryan - DGDGCD Solo Guitar

by Crowyote

/

about

I started making a series of arrangements of trad Irish and celtic tunes for the guitar tuned to DGDGCD as far as back as 2019 in order to create new teaching material for my students. This tune fascinated me as it had what I feel to be the most characteristic melody for an Irish reel there could possibly be, and yet there were no pre-existing arrangements for the guitar. The "blockers" in the title refers to football (soccer) players bouncing a ball back and forth on the field, but for me it conjures the sound of leaping leprechauns and the tinkling of their gold coins in a shimmering rainbow of colors.

This was recorded in the Spring of 2022 when I first got my Emerald X7 and was testing out a brand new Vanguard V44s microphone. I was going to drop it on St. Paddy's Day this year, but I got delayed and worked on it that day instead. I'm pretty happy with the results, and I hope it brings you great delight to listen to.
