Advanced Didgeridoo Tutorial - Throat Wobble Tips

[@comedycamping4692]

Hi I I’ve watched lots and lots of video’s on the dij. I started playing in 2001 and had a break. I’ve just picked it up again after a few years and I can say since I found your video’s. Something seems to have clicked. I can now do the wobble and I had been practicing for a while. But your explanation makes complete sense. I waould like to say thanks for the video’s. I think this will take my playing to places I ain’t been able to get to before. Thank you. BREO

[@Breathwood]

I'm so glad to hear things have clicked! That's awesome!

[@zolglub6616]

Thanks for these tutos. I'm french and I can't understand all that you say but your videos are precious for me.

[@Breathwood]

You're welcome! Maybe we can find someone to translate?

[@jensnielsen5551]

Yet you guys communicate in english

[@xobaby3862]

Thanks for the guh exercise. I actually kill it on my didge, not to toot my own horn per se, but was looking to learn more. Google showed me YOU as the #1 result when I searched "advanced didgeridoo techniques" and I listened to the bit where you discussed your growth goals. Best of luck. You're on the way.

[@Breathwood]

To toot or not to toot one's own horn, that is the question. lol

[@bebbcorpharpery7331]

I love this channel and I don’t play the didge. I am borrowing your techniques and modifying them to work in my rhythmic breathing patterns on the Jaw Harp. Some aspects are working awesome on lower midrange harps with good sustain and backpressure.

[@Breathwood]

That's so cool! I definitely see how these techniques could cross over in certain ways!

[@Jackmyster99]

Thanks for this Video man. As always, top quality and informative.

[@Breathwood]

You're so welcome!

[@ronnieliang249]

[@Breathwood]

You're so welcome!

[@earthtreewind108]

Stoked to find you and Lovin the help! Looking forward to taking your course.

[@Breathwood]

I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! FYI I offer big discounts on the course when people message me directly. So that's one option. Another is skype lessons, and a third is lessons through patreon.com/breathwood!

[@TheKenturtle]

thanks a lot, just subscribed, been playing since the 80's and the tips still help improve my technique. Have a look at didge through water under light...type in vimeo cymatic didgeridoo and youll see one of my rhythms turned visual. Thanks again didge bro

[@Breathwood]

Wow, that sounds cool. I'll try to find it.

[@rustlephillips3255]

Thanks I always look forward to your tips n tricks. Great work and thank you for your gift of sharing :-)

[@Breathwood]

My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching!

[@BikingVikingMTB]

Totally agree "awesome tips" keep them coming 👊🏻

[@Breathwood]

Thank you so much! More is on its way!

[@ScottJohnsonMarketing]

Great video. What didg are you using here? Love its sound

[@skullaymit]

I love the sound of your didg! What kind is it?

[@Breathwood]

I believe that one was pine! I sold it a long time ago, though...

[@KerryBlue72]

Thanks again for sharing!!!

[@Breathwood]

You're so welcome!

[@scmaninblackband]

What key is that didj in? What's a good key for the didj? I have a D

[@thecaliforniamaniac]

Great video David and thanks for the knowledge! I am new to the didgeridoo and was wondering how important mouth size is in relation to the size of the mouth piece? My didgeridoo's mouthpiece is about 30-32mm which I'm guessing is on the smaller size. If I could guess my mouth size is probably a medium/medium small. In millimeters what would be the range from a small to a large mouthpiece?

[@Breathwood]

I'd have to measure some mouthpieces. There is definitely a relationship between mouth size and mouthpiece, and rather than try to offer a sort of "standard" range, my suggestion to you is to try out as many sizes as you can until you find what's comfortable for you, and then measure that. I've also found that my preferred size has changed over time. Different sized openings lead to different ways of playing!

[@BikingVikingMTB]

Also good luck with the move too 😁😁

[@Breathwood]

Thanks! I hope it goes smoothly. Then I can get back to playing more didge and making more videos! :)

[@StrumHollow]

What was that last sound and how was it done?

[@willyamtiziano1]

grazieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:))) very very usefull....big hug

[@Breathwood]

Big hug back! Glad it helps!

[@TvkilledMyCat]

Awesome video again, i'm still working on the last one :D but it sounds a bit different to yours. What note is your didge tuned? I have a teak 150cm didge and i think it's tuned to D. Hey maybe you could do a video on different types of woods and lengths, anyway hope the move goes smoothly.

[@Breathwood]

All didges sound different, even if they are in a similar key. This particular didge is about a quarter tone above D.

[@TheGhomie12]

Hello, am trying to learn this wobble, but I'm finding I end up with too much air, and am having difficulty doing it while circular breathing out, any tips?

[@Breathwood]

You can try skipping breaths sometimes. Just squeeze with the mouth but don't always breathe in. Another option is to add voice to some syllables so you use up more air.

[@TheGhomie12]

@@Breathwood Cheers! Have been using your video tutorials a lot lately and they're great help and inspiration! Cheers boss!

[@niravapurv4578]

Thank you for your lovely videos. When i practise this way of breathing, i find it easy as i know it from before but i cant feel my throth move a lot... it feels like i do it more with the tongue. Any tips to chane the patern? Or are tongue breath and throuth breath so related that is not important to learn the difference?

[@Breathwood]

I realized recently that the tongue is either a *part* of the throat where the epiglotis closes or at least close enough that it is very difficult to distinguish between the two. So, yes, they are definitely related! If you are making the same throat motion that one makes when saying "ah" and then "ng" (like "sing" or "sung") then I think you're using more of the throat. If you're just pushing your tongue forward, then I think that's more tongue. Hope this makes sense!

[@niravapurv4578]

It makes sense yes, I am experimanting with trying to keep the tounge a bit still, and also making variations with moving the tongue forward. When i practice this rythm with Ga movement in the start i certeinly get tired deep in the throat. I takes that as a good sign ;) Again thank you for very good and understandable explanations.

[@ickerish]

sweet vid. btw, oddly, you remind me of david pakman.. haha

[@Breathwood]

Thanks! And.....er...is that a good thing?!? LOL

[@giorgiosperandio4285]

Hi and thank you really much for all your video... Very useful! I have a big problem with the DA: When I am doing it, sometimes a "trump" sound come up. Do you know why? :D

[@Breathwood]

I'm not totally sure what you mean. Can you describe the issue a bit more, or share a video of it? I'm glad to help!

[@dionpennnash2986]

I'm not not understanding any of of this. My sound just isn't coming at all.

[@Breathwood]

I would need to see a video of you trying to play before I could help you. Or we can do a Skype session!

[@y274]

Advanced??? Whatever

[@Breathwood]

Helpful comment??? Whatever 😂 But really, this is an old video. At that time, it WAS advanced. That's how things evolve. What was advanced is now simple for me, but that's not the case for everyone!
