[@didgeproject]

Amazing to hear that you are playing! Most people your age wouldn't even think of giving the didge a shot, but you r story is inspiring!

You’re a very good teacher. Clear, direct, engaging, and simple. Namaste.

[@peiikko]

I don't know why my mom has had a didgeridoo around my entire life despite never playing it, so I thought I may as well learn to play it. Now I can almost play this, thanks :)

[@cardinalflower6959]

You have a gift for explaining things clearly and demonstrating them well. Thank you!

You’re a superb teacher AJ! Thank you so much, one of the best tutorials I’ve come across

[@johnandliznz]

Thanks a mill AJ. Perfect tutorial for where i am now with my playing. Really clear and easy to follow. Am getting these rhythyms going in my head and following your instructions - You make it look easy though....Just need to practice so i can swap between first part and second part smoothly and keep it going for maybe 5 mins........

AJ Block, thank you so much... you're sharing this profound knowledge of most coolest instrument on the planet....It's been a while, since I've pick up my didje... but never actually learn the basic which are very important ...thank AJ Block, you are great teacher ...Blessings!!

[@didgeproject]

Janusz Tobijasiewicz thank you so much for the kind words. I'd love to know, what is the focus of your playing. What are you learning for and in what context do you play?

[@didgeproject]

It's definitely one of the coolest instruments on the planet.

[@wioletafurman4259]

Oh, what a pleasure to meet you! thank you for sharing your skills. I was looking for channel like this. I play didge from times to times and I really love it. I think that every instrument that needs breath to make a sound is so goood to meditation ;)

[@admaconcepts]

You are by far the best tutorial I've come across for learning the Didjiridoo! I was wondering what your thoughts are on say limitations of styles of music to play with the didgeridoo? Or limitations as far as playing with other instruments in a "jam session".... For instance do you see the possibilities of being able to play funk or jazz with the didgeridoo? Would love to hear what you think! Keep up the great work!!

[@alisherrmirakhmedov8048]

Great. You play and teach on high level. Thank you bro

[@didgeproject]

Thank you so much! New didge tutorials are coming on our channel so stay tuned!

[@mrvolta4064]

thanks, i would like to make some 'dupstep' like basses with the dige, just a starter tho. Also play flute and saxophone and i likte to use circular breathing on these instruments. I was now just playing more to practicte the breathing, but i'm starting to like the sound and recognising that you can get different tones out of it. So that's why i searched it on youtube and got here.

[@didgeproject]

Go for it! Looking fwd to hearing your music.

[@niolowprofilestudio2370]

Can you make a video rythms with out using circular breathing? Ty for your help your videos have help me a lot

[@sidewalksaints]

Thanks!!! Great lesson

[@irovidary]

I love this rhythm so much and try so long to play it, but I don't get it. At 6:35 Ha in ha Ha in ha Ha in... okay that's possible for me. But from 7:10 sounds not the same for me, more like Ha in ha ha In ha ha Ha in ha ha In ha ha so i tried both versions to combine with 1+2+3+4 and go round in circles without progress or result which would sound similar to the video :(

[@ialexvd11]

I found one in the garbage (Montreal), took me few days to found its original name , now I am learning how to play it. Reminds me the sound of frogs vibrating in water. Makes me elevate

[@sandeshp8403]

Having problem with breathing in between. I can do it for a while with one long breath lol but I think the key is to take stop breaths in between right?. Is it normal if we pause in between to breath and then the flow would come with practice just like guitar chords switching?

[@bingraobeijing]

very cool lessson, thx!

[@lilh2ogirl]

Hello has anyone ever touched on the mouth peice? I've looked time & time again on how it's supposed to look or how to shape it. What's too much not enough. Different types, what has worked for others. If playing forward faced or side of the mouth is shape going to be different so on. If possibly you could give me some ideas to run with this I feel would be most helpful.

[@didgeproject]

This is a great question. Mostly we find that mouthpiece is a lot of personal preference. I personally find that while playing on the side it is easier to get a good tone, and that while playing in the middle it is easier to hit the trumpet tones. I generally teach all of our students to play on the side because you can be a lot more relaxed while getting a good sound. As for mouthpiece diameter, that’s also mostly personal preference, however, I go with a 1 1/8 inch mouthpiece most of the time. Some people go up to an inch and a half, some people go as small as 1 inch. I hope this is helpful. Cheers! -AJ

Man! When your used to 4-4-4 Its almost impossible to cut off the 4 off the first two measures then add a two notes to the end and start over! Im still trying tho! .....OK two hrs later I got part one! :) Im new too. I only been playing for a few weeks but sure is fun!

[@illustrious1]

[@TrevFlips]

Insanely good tutorial man🤙

[@CodyShorter]

Probably a stupid question, but on the 'Ha in Ha, Ha in Ha, Ha in' rhythm, when are you breathing? Are you breathing in on every 'in'?? When I do this I fill up with too much air (even when trying to take smaller breaths in). If no, what are you doing on the 'in' between the 'Ha's'?? Cheers and thanks for the videos

[@didgeproject]

Cody Shorter "in" means inhale as well as push the cheeks in

[@didgeproject]

Cody Shorter you can inhale every time it says "in" but you can also just squeeze your cheeks without inhaling. Its all about regulating your lungs

[@Balgore8]

I would like to learn how to throw beats and toots in seamlessly with the drone.

[@didgeproject]

Balgore8 great idea for a future video. Will keep you posted. Lots more rhythms coming soon!

[@TheSunnyTrails]

Practice! Just keep trying!

[@dbt3477]

I'm confused, is the in, a mouth sound or a breath in, seems like to much drawing in, thanks..

[@didgeproject]

Dan T “in” is short for inhale. So it is a breathing in sound.

[@shawnbohn1237]

I can't breathe and keep playing at the same time

[@teba5113]

It’s easy most of us aboriginals that still know our culture can do it by the time we are 5, the first way is filling your cheeks up with water, then squeeze your cheeks and then while you’re squeezing your cheeks take a breath in. After you have done that fill your cheeks up with her and then squeeze your cheeks making your lips vibrate but while you’re doing that take a breath in the same amount of time as you’re squeezing your cheeks. Once you’ve got that down the track shorten your breath’s in

Hi there AJ. I'm glad you were showing this tresillo rhythm and learning it. Very good instruction. And since you were asking at the end, "what are some rhythm you want to learn to play on didgeridoo?" Here it is I've been thinking for a long time: it is the famous "Popcorn" song. I know it is a challenge, but any idea how that would be possible to play on didgeridoo? Here is a style for the Popcorn I really like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKOziY1joZiKqdksi=7LEiqghWBHcsTm-f
