I wish you can deep into this lesson mostly the 1.2.3 rhythm how to play it it's not that easy

Thnx alot boss am your fun

Yout the only one ON which i can hang ON to learn . Can i sow into you somehow?let me know thanks Markus

Sound advice for sure ( no pun intended !) I would say though that some low D whistles are far easier to get into the second octave with than others. The easiest I have found so far have been the Chris Wood whistles - and by far the hardest ( sadly because its tone is for me the best) has been the MK Pro. Not all whistles are created equal I guess !

Thank you for sharing this practice session! The advice to balance increasing tempo with adding ornamentation is very helpful. Practicing a tune can be a complex process!

Yes it's slowly coming for me too. You start to recognise which note you hear. Another thing one might whilst playing say to oneself which note you play to further teach the brain to recognise this tone means g, e etc. You may then get good enough to write down the notes you hear say in slow tunes or by slowing the playback speed down and thereby transcribing what you hear back into sheet music. It's just like learning a language really when it comes down to it. And actually easier because we're not dealing with say 26 characters as with the alphabet but it's the same thing.

I’m sloooowly improving on this point but maybe the slowest of any of the skills

It's a shame you didn't actually play it.

Thnx for your good work boss but I would to ask you one simple question if you can suggest some books for me for classical music on a tin whitle otherwise Godless your boss

great way of teaching !

There is always value in exercise, both old and new, I agree. Thank you.

Never thought to walk down in a triplet like that... clever. How would you feel about putting together "what wondrous love is this" on High D?

Holding the roll of tape is easier if you curl your "bird" finger through the hole in the centre so that the tape unrolls from under your thumb. Your thumb and other three fingers then act as a brake against the rim of the roll to prevent excessive tape unrolling and helps you to apply tension.

I’m grateful for all the work you put into this. It is appreciated, and I was practicing the toormore slide today.

I found the KZbin link to all of your scale exercises. Could I also use these scale exercises for the high D tin whistle?

Can I use these scale exercises on a high D whistle?

I don't see the link.

What a lovely idea sent you an email ;)

I’m enjoying your journey as I start mine. Have you tried one of Nick Metcalfe’s Low D whistles? Around $US100. I found the offset holes help with playability.

21 exercises? That's odd.

I had learned this tune a while ago ago, but because of you, I dug it out again and played it. It’s like an old friend that I want to get to know better.

This was the first tune I ever learned. Excellent as always. Thank you.

My biggest problem is going from B to second octave d bc i need to put all my fingers at the right places down quickly and they usually dont cover all the holes so that dreaded squeak commences

Yeah, I need to download these exercises and get to work again on these!

I don’t do nearly enough exercises….

I’ve had my V5 low D for a while but have been ill for a long time, so I’m just starting. Down by the Sally Gardens is beautiful, I think it’s important to understand the history of the music as I hope it will help me put the right feelings it to it , that is once I’ve learn to play. Thankyou very much for your teaching and history 🙂

Compared to your Wild whistle in high D, is the Shush Pro noticeably quieter? For someone looking to learn the tin whistle, would you recommend one over the other or does it depend on each person’s circumstances?

Good points here

that was in the Quiet man one of my favorite movies

Hi do you think you can make a similar video but put both the pitches together I want to see how it sounds!

Garden tools? What an odd theme.

Thanks for the review! It has a lovely tone, I think.

let's hear some Marshall Tucker Band ☺️ 👍👍

Yes play more outside. I live near a beach and I love to go play on a log there

A very graphic example of the quiet nature of the Shush Pro.

btw between you and i ... i did sth naughty lol i ordered the MK low G haha i could not help myself. Am frantically trying to sell my other g now and some other things to make myself less scared hahha

I prophesy that soon you won't be putting down that MK 😎😎😍😍😉😉😂😂

Lovely idea Scott :) that was enjoyable to watch you are lucky to have a river nearby the green whistle fitted nicely there 🥰🥰

How many of y'all tap with *both* feet already? I'm often doing double time with one foot, while the other is on a single beat. 😂 I was at an Irish sesh in Vancouver, WA, the other day, and there was a fiddle player who did the same thing! I felt no longer so odd. 🎉

Muy bonito con el río. Engrandece la melodía.

Aaah now it's clicking a bit for me 😮😮🥰🥰 thank you Scott ! When you mentioned the sets of triplets it clicked what's going on here

so because i love Organ music so much and the Organ as an instrument is simply awe inspiring i watched organ players and they literally play with their feet a different tune to their hands the whole thing is just phenomenal. They have people helping them with pulling and shutting the registers sometimes also . That's why piano is hard to learn also. I like your analogy of rubbing your head and belly there ;)

Nice. Are you going into other key whistles maybe? Which and why, etc

Thank you. Have been considering his A and Bb. Very informative.

I continue to be amazed at your generosity in sharing your low D whistle journey with us. Thank you Scott. No music background here so kinda hard at 76 and I am all over the map loving many different instruments. Historic costumer here in Canada and reenacting season is in full swing so getting really behind with your videos. Lots of catch up to do once season winds down.

That was a great video Scott. You're too kind to us. Congradulations on making one year! You have worked diligintly to provide us with content and we appreciate it. I'm thinking that you owe yourself a graduation present. Maybe something like, hmmmm 🤔, a Carbony? 😁

You are right you’re perfectly suited for this format, I enjoy everything you share. I am learning a lot from your channel and I appreciate it. I have always loved the flute of any kind in any style of music, and I’ve always loved music. Jethro Tull was my favorite band when I was in high school and I still appreciate Played the flute in band for about 2 1/2 years but flunked in 11th grade, because I thought I was too cool to learn what our teacher was trying to teach us. I wanted to play the Beatles and Jethro Tull. My teacher told me if I would learn what he was trying to teach us , I could play anything. I was too stupid to see it , it is something I have kicked myself for 1000 times. When I was in my mid-20s I took Flute lessons for a while that I had to pay for. I loved playing the flute again but then I got busy raising 4 wonderful children. I always wanted to play again and it wasn’t until I had knee surgery and I thought I would dig out my old Flute again. I figured I would be sitting on my rump a lot in the process. I found an old recorder I had started to learn to play and a couple of cheap Penny whistles That I never learned …. So I started messing around with them, I have always loved Irish music so the whistle grabbed me and I haven’t let go now for the past 3 years and I am planning on playing and improving the rest of my life. I regret that I gave up years ago , but better late than never. I appreciate learning with you . Thank you so much !

Congratulations on the success of your first year, quite an accomplishment to enable others as you strengthen your personal abilities.

Wow thanks for all these reviews! I have a couple High D and a High C whistle (Freeman D/C set and a Parks Ghost High D) and am looking into Low D tunable whistles but also don't want to pay an arm and a leg! At first I was looking at the Dixon tunable resin but then started looking at the "one step above" whistles (Kerry Optima, Dixon Aluminum, MK, Chieftan, etc although the latter two are quite pricey!). I'm not a very good player by any means and mostly just like to improv a bit over music (worship in particular). There is a chance I could be playing live in the future but for now it's mostly just playing around at home if I have the chance and desire. That said, what do you think would be the best whistle to consider picking up? I saw a pretty high recommendation for the Kerry Optima from you in the other video on that but it seems hard deciding...
