Also – I just remember hearing a Celtic guitar accompanist saying that you can say the following words to a slip jig, “buy the band a beer, buy the band a beer, buy the band a beer”. (Specific instructions – say the five words over about 1 second and repeat = a fast slip jig)
If you preform, it works well as a teaching tool to get the audience into the rhythm – and they tend to buy you a beer.

I’ll put my two cents in here. It’s difficult for me to count to nine while playing so I absolutely agree with Roland – just try to imitate it to start with and then you’ll get the feel for it.
In Short, don’t count. Feel.

It’s ok with the guitar player if it’s ok with the song writer.
