How to play the MOST iconic whistle solo

[@FoolishFrankie]

Link to the backing track: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqeYc6SQf9OAmLc Link to the whistle I’m playing: amzn.to/3zuH5rJ Sorry I said the track would be unlisted in the vid but it’s actually public! Vlogs return next week:)

[@monotonehell]

Thanks Al.

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

I’m buying a tin whistle just so I can bring it into rehearsal and pull it out instead of my trombone

[@FoolishFrankie]

Let’s gooo!!

[@FrogletOW]

@@FoolishFrankieim gonna ask to do a jazz solo with this and there is a high chance i’ll have a day to prepare. What should i do for an improv

[@HouseholdDog]

The guy sitting in front of you, thanks you.

[@TheRealGrindle]

I was having a dream about this tin whistle solo. This video came at crazy timing and now my arthritis is cured, my wife came back and the rain stopped

[@FoolishFrankie]

What😂😂

[@Para__Noia]

You sure it was a dream and not just a high dose if whatever? 😂

[@crankycorner16]

😂😂❤

[@Bughugger]

You had me till your wife came back 😂 dang it I hate being gullible!!!

[@whodatking26]

You've probably motivated 1,000s of people to go buy a whistle with this one

[@FoolishFrankie]

I hope so!! I don’t want any saxophone players having excuses for not playing the solo like the record on these gigs🫣

[@Natsheliak]

I'm one of them xD

[@alenaadler8242]

Yup, hope you got a cut Frankie! I had D whistles from Susato, Clarke, Feadóg, Sweet tone, and a beloved Generation Bb in brass. Been admiring your live covers for a while so I went ahead and ordered the F whistle as soon as I discovered this tutorial.

[@James-pu9kp]

Me hahaha

[@Sabre651]

As a sax player who literally bought a penny whistle a week just to learn this solo after watching your video thanks for this. Couldn't have come at a better time

[@FoolishFrankie]

Let’s goooo🔥🙌🏻

[@person_man9882]

Your first point addressing people who argue over the whistle name is hilarious. Really gets that out of the way asap - I wonder if anyone’s going to leave a pedantic comment before they even get to that part of the video.

[@SeanCMonahan]

AKCHSHALLY a _tin_ whistle is

[@FoolishFrankie]

LMAO sorry I’ve gotten so many comments about it 😂

[@jmichaelgrey2854]

Been playing tin whistle for ten years, been waiting for this for ten years - Thank you!!

[@akaaru5581]

don't you mean TIN years!?

[@Dolfiey]

@@akaaru5581 Hahahaha Tin years it is!

[@playercircuit]

As someone who doesn't own a whistle and doesn't plan on buying one, I will be watching this video in full.

[@FoolishFrankie]

😂😂🙏🏻

[@GeigerBC]

As a former saxophone player, your explanation at the start of the advanced tutorial where you wrote everything out as if it were in the key of D suddenly clicked in my head when the notes lined up so close to saxophone fingerings. I haven't played sax in years, but I could feel my fingers starting to move with the music.

[@FoolishFrankie]

Ayy I’m glad that was helpful!!

[@FrushGaming]

I’m Literally gonna buy a whistle just to play this! You’re so inspiring!

[@FoolishFrankie]

Ayy that’s awesome to hear! Soon we will be an army of whistle players on this tune🫡

[@HRHDMKYT]

I was thinking I should do the same. Frankie should get himself an affiliate link so he gets a piece of the profits he’ll generate!❤

[@d.h.5407]

It’s amazing how popular the tin whistle and your video became - you did such a masterful job with the solo!

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thank you very much!🙏🏻

[@cbells__]

the family function is gonna go crazy with this one 🔥

[@kintorey1195]

Making tutorials is a very good idea. Keep up the good work ^_^

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thank you!!

[@deetoher]

I can see Irish primary school teachers frantically taking notes (or more accurately referring to your tabs for tin whistles in the key of D). Where other countries use recorders as their starter instrument, tin whistles are more commonly used in Ireland for (fairly) obvious reasons. They have until September (with currently miserable weather) to practice.

[@adalyman773]

I’m glad I’m not the only saxophonist with a love for the tin whistle.

[@DrLogical987]

Well, I had a D and Bb tin whistle.... Now I have an F... Which my fingers only just fit on! Tin whistles are an amazing instrument - you put air and rhythm in one end and an authentic sounding tune comes out the other.

[@Natsheliak]

Great tutorial ! You should do more like this. Well, now my whistle is ordered, can't wait to work on it. Thank you :)

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thanks☺️

I appreciate that!

[@dukeofrodtown1705]

IDK how I missed the notification... but, great tutorial Frankie!

[@FoolishFrankie]

Thank you!!

[@Thatoddonein]

Watching this, makes me think of middle schoolers learning careless whisper just to show off. No dirt on you tho.

[@FoolishFrankie]

For me, this tutorial is so that when this gets called on a gig the horn players have no excuse to not play the record. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to play a song you like lol

[@Thatoddonein]

@@FoolishFrankie Thats what i thought, great tutorial.

[@crankycorner16]

I was going to leave a comment about the Pied Piper (with Tin Whistle) and something about all the Foolish Franks (Anton) following you but decided to just say, "COOL training video." 😂

[@EduanSteenkamp]

Thank you very much. You should definitely do more stuff like this please!?

[@FoolishFrankie]

Eh I don’t really enjoy making tutorials right now but if that ever changes I’ll let you know. Thanks for watching :)

[@TheProgull]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This helps so much. I'm honestly shocked you saw my comment and actually made this video!

[@FoolishFrankie]

Of course!! Thanks for watching :)

[@elijahberegovsky8957]

This is the first time I’m deliberately learning a new piece in at least five years. My lips are sore, my teeth are buzzing, and I’m still unable to hit that high F consistently, but I’m having more fun than in music school. Yes, I don’t have a tin whistle 😆

[@meow6335]

Just bought the tin whistle for marching band, TIME TO LEARN IT

[@FoolishFrankie]

Let’s goooo🔥

Can that be also played in a recorder?

My tin whistle is in Eb so I think I'll learn this on the recorder

[@Tugboat_City]

Who originally wrote/performed this solo? was it Paul Simon himself, like in the video ??

[@FoolishFrankie]

It was not. I believe it was the saxophone player in the band but I forget his name off the top of my head. Someone will hopefully remember and comment
