Three years later and people are still learning❤ The techniques are pretty sweet! Thank you!

Great tutorial. Whenever I'm learning anything, I always find that it comes together when I realise I can't do it because that's when I just let go and think," To hell with it, will I ever get this ", then the magic happens with no effort. Trying too hard can hold me back. But that's part of the process with me. Thanks for your help. Groove On ✌️ ❤

[@didgegirl6]

@@RobbyFindlay-uq2dy Thanks for sharing that Robby. I think we all go through that process of trying too hard only to find things are easier when we let go.

[@HansVelders]

Great lessons I love the way you do it ❤👌🙏

[@scottlowe1795]

Pam! You did it!!! I asked if you would do a circular breathing tutorial years ago and here we are! Also, so glad you are on Patreon. I'll sign up this weekend!.

[@didgegirl6]

Thank you Scott! Well, you know, I wouldn't want to rush into these things. 😂 Seriously though, thank you for the suggestion and for your support. I'm looking forward to serving you. 🙏

[@brucesteege9227]

Thank you. This is the easiest startup to circular breathing I have seen on-line. In just a couple minutes, I was able to breathe in and out while doing the spit technique. Even at this level I can now play a little bit longer than I have been able to do before. The animal calls & singing video added a great deal more variety to my playing, than just an "Eeee-Uuuu" song. Practicing your techniques will certainly help my range of play.

[@didgegirl6]

Thank you Bruce. I'm glad it helped! 😃

Thanks for the advice, I'm just getting some forward info while waiting for my didge. Subscribing cos I liked the straight forward advice and breaking it into easier steps.

@@billybass4189 Thank you for subscribing!!! I'm so glad you're getting some value out of the tutorials. It definitely makes the most sense to break things down to make them more manageable. 👍🏼

Thanks for explaining this first step; please make the tutorial for Circular Breathing 201.

[@neilbrie8972]

Thank you , I manage to do it in the first try! Well I've been learning Did from few months now, without focusing on the circular breathing. I was ready for it. It's a great an simple video. 😀

[@supperfit]

Great advice i am nearly there so i will pull back and let it happen naturally

[@didgegirl6]

You'll totally get there! 👍

[@forestweston5055]

Loving your studio! Also an excellent, well simplified explanation of circular breathing. Like you said, turn off the thinking.

Thank you so much Federico. I really appreciate your comment! Your story with didgeridoo is very inspiring and wonderful. Thank you for sharing it! All my best wishes for you.

@@didgegirl6 … Just FYI I had severe sleep apnea researched alternatives to CPAP After seven weeks of playing the didgeridoo still not doing circular breathing and doing oral pharyngeal exercises I’ve gone from 29.1 apneas an hour to none … Of course I have fallen in love with the didgeridoo and the incredible effect it has on the muscles of the throat… Thanks for the good instructions

Thank you for another great vid!

[@didgegirl6]

Thank you Conundrum! 🙏

[@WackyConundrum]

The problem is with trying to make the music smooth. There is a sound gap between the spit and the restarting of the drone. This makes playing feel very jagged.

[@didgegirl6]

Thank you Conundrum. I know of this issue. This video is primarily to cover the very beginnings of circular breathing. At the moment I'm working on a series of videos that will address issues like this. I hope to have the circular breathing course available on my website soon.

[@WackyConundrum]

@@didgegirl6 Nice! Please post a video update when its ready :)

BS! Not possible!!

The Divine Feminine is rising up and you're part of that Pam. Been a long time coming but if you take the eternal viewpoint then it's not so bad. Good pointers on CB. I know I had little success until one day, just turned off the thinking and wallah, just happened. Look fwd to more bite sized tips on CB. Cheers

[@didgegirl6]

Thank you Peter! 🙏🎶🎵

[@THEMANWITHTHEYELLOWHAT.]

Did you here that from a guy named Spencer smith he talks alot about the rise of the divine feminine

[@WackyConundrum]

What do you think about holding air between the tongue and the palate (so inside the mouth), instead of the front of the cheeks?

[@didgegirl6]

@Conundrum That totally works too.

[@WackyConundrum]

@@didgegirl6 Thanks!

[@cindymurdocca2376]

Hi Pam! I recently purchased a sliding didgeridoo. It seems to get stuck as I slide it, and ends up "bumping my lip". Is there something I can use on it, to make it slide more freely? Thanks.

[@didgegirl6]

Hi Cindy! Hm, since I don't have a slide didge this is kind of hard to answer. The only thing I can think of is perhaps a very light coating of oil (olive oil, avacado oil etc). Just enough to make it slide a bit better but not so much to where it creates the problem of sliding too much. Hope this helps.

[@forestweston5055]

Food grade silicone spray works great! Available on Amazon or other markets.

shouldn't you be wearing that seat belt?

[@didgegirl6]

Mr JC 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@McBean03]

Thank you so much for this video, it was beyond helpful to me in bridging the gap and starting to be able to circular breathe on faster rhythms. I still struggle trying to do more slow hormonic drones / rhythms but getting there. I started sharing my own didge videos on KZbin Kris Clifton @ McBean03 any feedback you could give would be incredible! I can’t think you enough for your CB videos!
