Flynn Cohen and Liz Simmons: The Hag’s Purse, Bryan O’Lynn, Miss McDevitt’s

Peghead Nation Irish Guitar instructor plays a set of jigs live in the studio with guitarist Liz Simmons.

In Flynn Cohen’s Irish Flatpicking Guitar course on Peghead Nation, he teaches you to play traditional Irish dance tunes such as reels, jigs, and hornpipes on the guitar in the style of Paul Brady, John Doyle, Arty McGlynn, and others. While Flynn was in the studio shooting lessons for that course, guitarist and songwriter Liz Simmons, who is also his partner in Low Lilly, joined him and they played a great set of jigs: “The Hag’s Purse,” “Bryan O’Lynn,” and “Miss McDevitt’s.”

In Irish Flatpicking Guitar, Flynn teaches lessons on jig picking, triplets, and other techniques derived from traditional Irish tenor banjo playing and applied to guitar. All lessons include accurate notation and tablature for the tunes and techniques that Flynn presents, and Flynn is adding new lessons to the course every month, so the lesson library grows as you progress.

Flynn also teaches Peghead Nation’s Irish Backup Guitar course. where he teaches you how to accompany jigs, reels, and other forms.
