Advanced Didge Rhythm Tutorial - a Didgeridoo Dojo Rhythm Re-explained

[@mynameis5427]

You have no idea how invaluable of a resource you have been. I am greatly appreciative of your being a part of my growth

[@SAHILOYEEE]

This is the bsst Didgeridoo learning channel I have came across

[@whateverthedaybrings2268]

Just getting into the Digeridoo and I already can't say thank you enough! You are a great teacher! Thank you so much for the content!

[@Quietword]

Wow, blew my mind when it started to click :) Feeling that I need to become your supporter David. Blessings!

[@didgeproject]

Here’s the tab/notation for this rhythm: Tu wa ee Tu, wa ee Tu wa, ee Tu wa ee, Do - - - . For convenience I’m using “Tu wa ee” to represent each triplet. The count is 1 e & a, 2 e & a, 3 e & a, 4 e & a. This is 4/4 time using 16th note subdivision (note the commas separate each full beat, divided into 4 sub-beats). Thanks for the great lesson David! I learned something here today.

Essential rhythm and so happy you put this out. The recap at the end really did it justice. A better recording might be great but I hope you keep this one out there - ie, don't replace it entirely.

[@Breathwood]

Thank you! I actually am planning to redo this video soon!

[@baumgaming4934]

So one day I had this calling to play the didgeredoo i watched a bunch of videos ad it touched my soul so I eventually got one and as soon as I blew in it it sonded amazing and circular breathing came in a few days and now I can learn anything by sound im searching for more traditonal rythms and furthering my vocabulary I didt know I was a didge prodigy id love to share with you sometime my friend.

[@Breathwood]

Wow, incredible! I hope you keep going!

[@HelloShty]

So Dope, figured it out just now and it does bring you to another world. Thanks man, you're wonderful!

[@Balgore8]

Been following you for a while now, you've probably seen some of my comments in other vids. Been practicing almost daily now for a couple of months, getting a lot better. Finally got the handle on circular breathing and can really start to grasp rythyms like these. Good tutorial, good explanations, and good playing man! Without you out there, I don't really know I'd watch. You either find total beginner stuff, or super pros just beating it. Hard to find good mid-level tutorials. Also had a didge in C+ and could never make mine sound like yours. Finally picked up a second didge this Xmas in an E and now it sounds the same lol! Makes it so much better for following along with the video in real time.

🔥👍the breakdown at 5:45 was very helpful

[@BikingVikingMTB]

Absolutely brilliant 😁 Ive learned to CB only in the last week and watching many vids over the months it has taken me to CB i simply cant get enough! Such an inspiration to watch you play just now getting my brain around the fact that I Can produce awesome sounds-keep the lessons coming mate

[@Breathwood]

+Jon Bowler Wow, thanks for that awesome feedback! I'll definitely keep the lessons going! Let me know if I can be of assistance to you in any other way!

[@BikingVikingMTB]

+Breathwood Now I can circular breathe and try to put rhythms in im struggling and probably not breathing enough-all comes with practice thanks again BREATHWOOD! Keep the lessons coming

[@BikingVikingMTB]

+Jon Bowler Can you recommend an easy rhythm for a continuation of CB as when I start playing I'm not fluent enough as I'm wanting to try a load of different things as my brain becomes bombarded with all different things lol 💪😁😁

[@Breathwood]

+Jon Bowler Check out my video on TU WA HA HA (kzbin.info/www/bejne/apezeXmGp7l6kNk) then try this: TU WA HA HA TU WA TAKA TAKA TU WA HA HA TU WA DRRR (rolling tongue sound) Try this for at least 3 minutes!

[@BikingVikingMTB]

+Breathwood Thanks pal will do. Back to reality as in work will try tonight 😁😁

[@ryomaruo5840]

[@patrickxcom372]

Thank you so much! Your videos are great. I learn so much! Love the way you teach. Please keep it up!!!

[@Breathwood]

Hey Patrick, thanks for the comment and the positive feedback! I love teaching, so I definitely plan to offer more in the future. Any requests?

[@Breathwood]

***** As in - you'd like me to break it down? I'm having trouble finding a clear video of what you're referring to! Got any links I can look at?

[@berndnyikos417]

Thanks for another great lesson! I learned so much with your help. It works great! Thank you!

[@Breathwood]

you're welcome! I'm really glad this helped you!

[@CrispyBacon11]

thank you so much! I feel like this really was a step in expanding my playing

[@Breathwood]

You're welcome! I'm so glad to hear this helped your playing along!

[@ROY-COLLEY]

Thats Brilliant love it

[@niolowprofilestudio2370]

Thank you it was very useful 🙏

[@philmoulds3181]

brilliant lessons, thank you for them all. :-)

[@Breathwood]

+Phil Moulds Thank you! And you're so welcome!

[@Nilz4FR]

5:40 Would love to hear you play this rhythm today, as then you were still "pressing" too much (meaning you can hear the blowing instead of the tune)

[@Breathwood]

Wow, no kidding! I just listened to this again, and I think it's not so much that my playing was overly breathy (maybe a little) but the recording quality is really crappy! LOL. I had the microphone up to high and was distorting! I love your idea and will consider doing a new version of this same video. Thanks for the idea!

[@Gnrlbile]

awesome dude, u have teached this very well .. thank u!

[@Breathwood]

+Tom Jacobs You're welcome!

[@jean-marcmanning4574]

oh ... that makes sense now

[@Escekar]

Loving it..!!!!!

[@meeekstubbular]

Wow, I can circ. breathing for quite a while in a "tube" and make some noise but I'll be damned if I can say To Wha Ki To wha ha or ka! Just can't do it. And usually a put my mouth side way, seldom straight. Any tip to help? Thanks Oh it's To Wha ee! Still can't do it (

[@asi8878]

Thank you , very nice and easy to play . The way you make this , its a lot more easy to learn . How can I get more speed on . Mfg maik ( sry for bad english )

[@rodneilthomas1282]

Thank you!

[@akiraode-smith6084]

does anyone here know the reasons behind different sounds of a didgeridoo?

[@Breathwood]

That's a really good question! I can talk about how a long string will vibrate more slowly than a short string, but a tight string will vibrate faster than a loose one. But when it comes to the inside of a didgeridoo, there are many different factors. Different sized wavelengths will resonate in different sized didgeridoos. So the length and width and shape all will change the sound based on what frequencies "fit" inside that space. But there are other factors like the thickness of the material - thick will have less vibration, thin will have more (unless it is too thin - then it will have less again). A wide bell end will amplify the sound. A narrow neck will make trumpet notes easier. The inside texture will amplify or disrupt/mute certain frequencies and create the unique "voice" of each didge. Traditional eucalyptus didgeridoos sound more "rough" or gravelly due to the grooves carves by termites. A plastic didgeridoo will sound smoother and more....plasticky....due to the smoothness of the inside. Here is some more info: www.didgeridoo-physics.com/E/CADSD/method/method.htm

[@maskedman72]

Im still on this everyday. It coming slowly but my speed is building. Can you tell me the exact specs on your didge?

[@Breathwood]

+maskedman72 Sorry for overlooking this! You'd like length and width....? It's a slide didge, so there are two nested tubes which allow for changing the length....

[@conradpower7724]

Thanks - much better explained than sanshi

[@Breathwood]

Thanks! That was partly my intention - to offer another explanation that is hopefully more approachable to more players!

[@janlammerer9129]

Breathwood my didgeridoo got a big and a small hole whats the right?

[@lewiskelly483]

When are the breathing intervals?

[@Breathwood]

There is a breath on every "wa." So if the rhythm is TO wa ee to WA ee to wa EE to wa ee DO, with accents where I've capitalized the sounds (say these sounds more loudly), then breathing goes like this: TO breath ee to BREATH ee to breath EE to breath ee DO. Does that make sense?

[@2mice]

Hey question, are you using voice on the “e” & “ah” or just mouth shape only?

[@damienallbon2989]

Awesome bro. Love to Learn from ?

[@Breathwood]

Thanks! And sure: [e-mail]

[@JohnDoe-nq3om]

i know this vid is old but what key is ur didge?

[@Breathwood]

It's a tunable didge. Looks like I had it at E for this vid? Don't totally remember.

[@JohnDoe-nq3om]

+Breathwood didnt know they made tunable didges. looking to buy one since the one given to me on a trip to Australia fell from its shelf... just played it as a hobby so not to familiar with the instrument itself.

[@JohnDoe-nq3om]

+John Doe honestly didnt know there was such a big didgeridoo community. u got some rhythm in your soul keep it up

[@threeyears]

It's a 5/4 polyrhythm

[@GattlingGuitarGuru]

+Lisle Kelly Nah, just syncopation around sixteenth notes in 4/4. The "triplets" he refers to are just plain sixteenth notes with every third accented, so you have four groupings of three sixteenth notes and he ends with a quarter note or two eighth notes- either way adds up to 4 beats.

[@Breathwood]

+Control Alt Delete Exactly! :)

[@cecilebrun9913]

trops cool

[@Breathwood]

+cecile brun Thank you so much!

[@bestprop4850]

Is that a pvc didge

[@Breathwood]

Yep!

[@Cre8iveSignWorks]

is that a plastic didge?

[@Breathwood]

Yep!

[@simonpettersson6788]

Soooo fast! Can't keep up! >_

[@DavidRYates]

Oh no! Didn't mean to leave you behind! What can I help you with? I'll show it more slowly this time. :)

[@simonpettersson6788]

***** It is fine now, a few minutes of practise and Im good. Now I need to add those cool special FX sounds (trumpet) you make at the end.

[@Breathwood]

Simon Pettersson Glad to hear it's coming along!

[@simonpettersson6788]

Breathwood Thanks bro! Hey, do you know any good beat to play this rhythm to?

[@Breathwood]

+Simon Pettersson Any kind of "four on the floor" beat will work, as long as you can keep up! House music can work great, for example.

[@michaelixxvitalixxmeyer5800]

Geht doch 😏🤩🤩

[@dewkiet4867]

thank you!
