How to Play an Irish Jig Rhythm

Hi I'm David Cantieni on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to be sharing with you some useful techniques for practicing the Irish style flute. Some people think that jig rhythm that would be a triple rhythm jiggy, jiggy, humdy, dumpdy, that kind of thing is a more natural kind of rhythm to play. It sounds like this. Also you notice that I'm accenting that you are going one and uh, one and uh, one and uh one. You can chose to make it very smooth with. But a good way to practice again to get a kind of good swinging sound you might need to use metronome. My two tools here and I'm going demonstrate using both. This one has a swing setting and usually a swing beat is a sort of a jig rhythm it one it is in three. Lets say oh I have to turn the power on and tatum, tatum, okay and you might want to do it slower. The secret in fast is in slow.
