I've been playing bluegrass for a few months and have gotten the basic gist of it, but what I really want to do is play some good ole hard drivin' (and not so hard drivin) Clancy Brothers type Irish tunes. A lot of people say its just a bluegrass strum and for some songs its true but for most there is something else that is in there and I just haven't developed my ear enough to know what it is. Any suggestions? Feel free to opine with anything related to irish music that you think would be helpful to a beginner.
Not so hard drivin' but Liam picks it up toward the end, but just a hell of a song:
