Hello Reddit,

I have recently taken up classical guitar tuition and wish to play with others in trad sessions.

However, I am unsure how well I can transfer my classical guitar skills into irish music, I noticed that Ronnie Drew plays a flamenco style guitar and seems to play various arpeggios rather than chords.

Just wondering if it is better to alternate bass strings with the thumb and repeat the tenor strings over and over or if strumming chord shapes is better.

Also, any tips or free resources online would be very much appreciated..

KR,
