Those chopping lessons are superb! In general I would love to see more Niall Murphy lessons please!
Thanks for the kind words, Kitegal! Niall has quite a lot to offer in the chopping department.
Lots more lessons coming from Niall…I believe we cut around 30-35 tune lessons, so keep your eyes out for those as they are produced. About half of them will feature backup (like Sporting Paddy) and around half of them will be without backup (like Kevin’s).
Peace!

Hi Kitegal, glad to hear you’re enjoying Niall. Keep up the good work and fiddle on! Best, Roland
The best chopping lessons ever!
Thx, FM!!! I need to figure this stuff out myself…
I really like the way the chopping lessons are developing step by step to more complex rythms and combinations. I am surprised how fast it goes to learn it this way! Exercises building on each other are really helpful. Thank you Niall, great lessons!
Thanks for this comment, Reby…we’ll pass it along to Niall.
Cheers!

A quick note…
At the end of lesson 5, where the rest of the lesson links are posted, you’re missing the lesson 6 link. Maybe change the 5 link to the 6 link?
Awesome lessons! I’m working my way through them!
Glad you are enjoying the series, Janel. Good catch…fixed!
