Okay I don't know if anyone here plays or knows trad music but anyway:

Some major key Irish hornpipes have this quirk of being weirdly difficult and complex to play so you're fighting for your life with the fingerings and then you're producing the most twee ass tune you could imagine. I'm talking gnomes-dancing-merrily-in-circles-amongst- a-toadstool-glade levels twee

#and then you play an incedibly dramatic sounding minor hornpipe and it'll just be smooth sailing???#like the amount of mental effort I'm putting into this tune is just not reflected in the sound being made #anyways that thoughts been brewing for a while #irish music #trad music #I'm slowly progressing to my final form of a satyr playing a merry jig in the woods
