Re: how to turn a guitar into a useful accompanying instrument
I looked at the players and the furniture, and assumed they were inside a room. Then I saw saplings and other things growing. I assumed they were still inside a room. I am quite at home with the idea one can live in rooms that have trees and stuff growing inside them.
But I rather expected it to become apparent that they were actually sitting outdoors, and it did not.

A long way from Ireland though. Astonishing videos of a Gypsy fiddler from Romania who still plays Jewish music he learned in the 1930s:

I've heard of this being done but didn't know about the sheet copper scratch plate.
(And why have so few people watched these? Their very existence is almost unbelievable).

Her rhythm is solid, and whatever chord is being produced, it is less discordant than many I hear in Irish sessions.

Agreed. In fact,there is a subtle (and intentional, I assume) assymetry in the rhythm - its own special transylvanian 'nyah'.
But this music works on different rules from Irish music - the rhythm is not inherent in the tune in the way that it is in a jig or a reel.
