Fred Morrison - Pipes solo

[@TheCRTman]

It's been years since I've seen this. Still absolutely amazing. Sounds like a freaking guitar or violin solo done on small pipes.

[@eddiej1980]

Absolutely amazing stuff. A master of the instrument

[@spiritof6986]

Fred's a serious piper. Highly regarded,rewarded and acclaimed. But he's also got an unconventional streak combined with a sense of humour. And this is the epitome of the latter. Am i loving this or am I LOVING it?! Long live King Fred!!!

[@macovina]

Absolutamente aluciante el dominio de la gaita que tiene este sseñor. Es increible . me encantó escucharlo ayer en los Alcuentros de Soto Rei

[@Dira65]

Quite amazing playing -the mark of a complete master of the instrument.The tracks of his new bands are also on the cutting edge of performance

[@Dira65]

This is a classic piece -great technical ability and skill-delivered with humour and verve !!The Fred Morrison Band is also one of the most exciting musical ventures I have encountered in the past decade-it will enliven the international music scene-across genres - and its all embracing nature will open up a new world of appreciation for the pipes as a versatile instrument in the hands of a master of his craft

[@imanolos]

Ese dia estaba yo alli, y fue una pasada. Un gran músico Fred Morrison.

[@peter.destoop]

saw him several times and he still amaises me.

[@mackinnon182]

This has inspired me to smoke pot more regularly :) what a genius this man is love it, gna go see him live 1 day

[@efdiyi]

Vaya pedazo de crack! menudos sonidos mas atipicos que le saca a la gaita! se sale la forma de tocar que tiene

[@ellenfar1]

amazing playing , just incredible. !

[@ca11um15]

fred's my piping hero. bloody fantastic!

[@Thornsley82]

Very very impressive, i this is one of the few original pieces that ive heard on shortpipes that really made me get into the music

[@Nigey]

truly superb! the way he bends those notes.

[@diamonddiva1954]

Very unique sound-I'm glad I found this video!

[@BehorWindpipe]

all instruments have theri own beauty... pipes for me are one of the most beautiful instrument in the whole world. and THAT is REAL piping!!! incredible!!

[@Dira65]

AS a previous pos indicates this is clearly a bit of a light hearted carryon to finish a set-the discerning have clocked this.Morrisons vast and varied repertoire is testimony to his technical ability across genres and instruments-magnificent slow airs and musical perfection in expression-worth checking out if you are serious about your piping

[@DudelsackOnline]

I have this tune in my show also, but Fred is really the best ! If I would play in this way: my chair would be broken !

[@stochner]

WOW !!!!!! Amazing playing!! Shay

[@dziemmak]

took my breath away.

[@ShadoPiper]

downright INCREDIBLE!!!

[@japanrussell]

Thanks Mr. Morrison. You're one cool cat!

[@Dira65]

Absolutely fantastic. Love it!!

[@charlie1pipes]

Fred does things with a chanter that few others can do..Great Piper

[@bvandergucht]

I have to say that I really love this guys extremely musical playing. I don't feel a need to argue this point with any so-called "pipers". And to festnos10 who made the comment about a circus act, get bent dude. If all you have is a snide remark that no one finds funny, get outta town. Leave the business of piping to those who know how to pipe, like this guy.

[@SeolfurDragyn]

Wow! He's amazing! I love him!

[@Okayamapiper]

AWESOME!! He certainly has those reelpipes smokin!!!

[@WBMatt117]

came to seattle washington feb 4 2011 at the mastery of scottish arts was a great show

[@manolerilla]

Fantasticooo!!!!

[@Dira65]

Outlands,Freds new CD,contains the best technical and precise piping I have ever heard and if you add soul and spirit which he has in abundance you have album which is the production of a master musician.Ron Block and Tim O Brien provide a brilliant bluegrass blend

[@TheFirstDidjeridude]

thank you for finally syncing up the audio/video.. i first saw this vid a while back & was amazed at the sound, but disappointed, cuz for so long, it wasn't synced correctly.. thanks again :)

[@thunderstruckpiper]

that is an amazing sounding piper

[@juanS1000R]

acojonado me deja dios como toca

[@Dira65]

There are three fantastic new tracks on Freds MySpace website from the new album which sounds brilliant -great piping with precision,flair and innovation

[@Billy201986]

absolutely amazing

[@scotchaaron]

hell yeah what a video, thanx

[@Louizalass]

Excellent!

[@VasilicaCascaval]

Ohh my god!!!!! thats the best piper i ever saw

[@hugocopaturbo]

tremendo como toca dios mio!

[@simpleutopia]

Wow. What an amazing player!

[@agsalcedo001]

Awesome player. Bravo!!!

[@Dastirum]

@Heath75032 These are scottish borderpipes (or Reelpipes) blown with a bellow under the right arm.

[@arevaci85]

amazing way of playing!!savage,it´s like a lighting,and i think that at first sight,the notes that seems wrongs,are in thuth style resources

[@luggiswold]

the best piper ever!

[@cunobelinusX31]

Brilliant!

[@MomMakesStuff]

God, Fred's amazing. :)

[@allancamera]

@lachiemckenzie You're absolutley spot on. Hilairious.

[@Dira65]

festnoz-I took the bother to visit your website since this was your primary intention to get folk to visit-a dhuine bhochd ,tha an tuning agad cianail agus tha thu bragal

[@rraincock]

love the hair

[@diaouledmenez]

a quimper le 17 juillet c'était pas mal non plus, quel virtuose !!

[@BagpipeHeadache16]

Fred Morrison Reelpipes. He has a website. You can find a reference on the McCallum Bagpipes website. He works with the company to help produce them. Period. I repeat: they are "Fred Morrison Reelpipes". :P

[@carolannpeacock]

spectacular!

[@shawnblog]

That's awesome!

[@MANDVM]

Those are reelpipes of Fred's design. They can be purchased through any number of retailers, if you're interested...

[@BiGaBiGz]

who cares what kind of pipes they are, this guy tears it up! mind blowing those slurs are crazy, blooody fingers.

[@PeterPiper86]

Reelpipes rule! Wonderful and interesting sound combined with a great tune. Wonder what`s the title of it?

[@Dira65]

Which "other pipers"did you have in mind ?-I am assuming you have a wide ranging informed professional network to form such a judgement? Enjoy good piping,feel the sheer joy of the " Outlands " tracks on the website.They seem to me to be a wonderful exercise in musical expression with all participants on the CD enjoying their artistry together....some team!

[@jackhawkpiper97]

Those are Fred morrison reelpipes(smallpipes) by mccallum

[@azulyrojo89]

@Heath75032 its a pipe that he invented its like an scottish and iullean all in one!

[@ghostpiper1]

the one and only ;)

[@uilleannaddict]

Indeed! Nothing like comparing apples with oranges...

[@dsmhighlander]

thats what good musicians do.

[@GoodIrishWitch]

It's actually Paddy Kenan who is considered to be Jimmy Hendrix in the piping world :)

[@MerzhinBzH]

Avec le Bagad Kemper c'était trop génial !!!!

[@klomb]

Those are bellow blown lowland badpipes, also called border pipes. similar but quite different from the small pipes

[@Dira65]

Which tunes in Freds substantial repertoire were in your professional and experienced opinion,08njack, inspired By Gordons music? What is your definition of "inspired"and do you have some extrasensory insight into Fred Morrisons creation of compositions which span quite a timeframe?

[@Shakez76]

That shit just ant right! Awesome!

[@MacArthurPiper]

There was one piper could but no longer. And that was Gordon Duncan!!

[@Splinter1X]

that sounded weird and amazing at the same time du you have more? :)

[@SeolfurDragyn]

Cool! Are you going to put that up here?

[@KiltDude32]

It's kind of weird to see his fingers flying so quickly, and his right arm pumping the bellows so slowly. Neat video!

[@EpicGifted]

this is like american country fiddle music played on a bagpipe. i like it

[@CelticGlazik]

WAW !!!!!

[@frazzle515]

Had a chat with him the other day and realised how much he looks like James May from Top Gear.

[@DDog1029]

@Heath75032 they are bellow blown scottish small pipes

[@joxefly]

flipante

[@epi7servoi]

crack!!!

[@hendy1234]

a think its his version of the reel sandy cameron ull find it in scots guards volume 1

[@Timelinker]

@Heath75032 it's scottish, it's called "smallpipes"

[@olynchyliz0523]

OMG thats cool

[@jeoffrayvidalot9600]

there aren't Lowland or Border pipe, it's a Fred Morrison's reel pipe. His own instrument and built by McCallum

[@sweetasspunkdrummer]

this is METUUHLLLLL TO THE EXTREMEMEEEEEE

[@canadianboy40]

dang hes all skitzing out while hes playin the pipes!!

[@SpielmannHannes]

@Heath75032 It's a scottish Smallpipe.

[@ceejeezy]

unreal

[@ruaridhhanna]

You have to go for for a bit of Malky Jones as well!

[@vapypr]

SOme of the tunes probably. However, borderpipes can do a fully chromatic scale where the highland pipes can't. I did notice a couple C naturals which really can't be played on the highland pipes.

[@AlbertoAblanedo]

@Dagvalda totally correct :-)

[@BagpipeHero98]

Bellows, they are under his right arm.

[@antoniomoas]

=D Great

[@Andrewmacpipes]

actually these a reelpipes, which is the Highland name for Border Pipes

[@elisenewman2443]

Suggested by my bagpipes teacher!!!

[@pmbear]

It's really good but after 2-3 times through the "improvved bits" you kind a wish he'd switch tunes... Fred is not doubt one of the top shelf pipers out there, though. Him, Gordo and Armstrong are amongst my faves. :-)

[@jeffreyhughesnc]

They're not Uillean Pipes, they're reel pipes specially designed by Fred Morrison and produced by McCallum. Not to be a know it all... though I should also point out that "alot" is "a lot".

[@AlbertoAblanedo]

No, those aren't uilleann. Fred also plays uilleann pipes, but not that time

[@pmbear]

Odd time signature? No...He is still playing in reel time... just real FAST reel time... as for eastern timing... uhh Fred is from Uist, and that isn't really "East anything" if you know what I mean... :-)

[@Jammy_Lius]

Cagun What kind of bagpipes is it?

[@AlbertoAblanedo]

@Heath75032 not Galician. Scottish, definitely

[@Pipezilla]

Probably his own compositions, found in his new book.

[@urbankhat65]

I've bought a set of MacMurchie pipes,does anyone out there have an opinion on them?thanks
