How To Play: Gurdy's Green (Hurdy Gurdy Tutorial)

[@Justarthur100]

Please definitely do more of these! I struggle to play music by reading sheets but videos like this make it so much easier!

[@nurbs1234]

The mechanical clicks of the fingers sound so good too cos they r in rhythm as well n add another sort of percussion layer to the leading track

[@JoshRiffMonster]

Nice, now I need a hurdy gurdy...

[@gghrtx2]

Me too. =P

[@thestonedpizzaguy]

6k aud from canada for a 9 string is the best deal i've found so far. Also looking at a luthier from canberra but hurdy's are not really his thing.

[@facelessmusicdiary]

hurdy gurdy squad!

[@GT_Void]

I don't need a gurdy, I just need Hurdy!

[@MommaPotaT0ES]

You can have a custom made on less than 6,000 on a hurdy gurdy website. It's awesome. Type in "Hurdy Gurdy store" in Google search bar. :)

[@Kroy23]

As someone who doesn't have a teacher, I find this type of tutorial VERY HELPFUL. I would love more of these in the future!! Thanks Patty!

[@JCBeastie]

It's certainly improved my airgurdy skills!

[@masterplanet420]

I have no idea why I have never heard of this instrument, I want one, it is beautiful, especially your green one, I want.

[@squirrelbooth8079]

Yes! More tutorials too please! The Longing would be another good one! Love both your solo version and the Storm Seeker original! I'm saving up for my own gurdy now, then will just need someone to help guide me. I'll be looking for an instructor, but I will gladly take any advice! Keep on playing and being you Patty!!!

[@Delmarpg]

I've read about Hurdy Gurdys in books about medieval times, and being discussed in elementary school, but this is the first time I've seen one in action. I had no idea they were such a versatile and awe inspiring instrument. Thank you for this very interesting Vlog. Looks like an incredible instrument. Now I know what I've been missing.

[@sunriseeyes0]

I like the the little clicky sounds the gurdy makes when the keys are pushed. It sounds like tiny clapping 👏

[@GeorgFreese]

Hallo Patty, I have been obsessed with the Gurdy since I was a teen when I saw Page & Plant ( Led Zeppelin ) live and they had amongst their many guest musicians a man with a gurdy blasting a solo in the middle of the concert. Wow. I never got my hands on one but watching your videos makes me happy. Thanks :)

[@InTexas]

Please more tutorials! This is amazing! Never even heard of hurdy gurdy before accidentally coming across your channel today but now I totally need to get one!

[@thomasboese3793]

Wow! I missed a lot being sick... Came here after seeing "PAINTING MY NEW GURDY GREEN @ BASS LINE" and wanting to see the Green Gurdy in action. Absolutely wonderful... Tutorials are always welcomed!

[@H3iMda11_G0d]

I think I'm going to try to transcribing this to my guitar ❤️ friggin love this melody!!!

[@GeeslinsNerdRoom]

I'm learning the hurdy-gurdy now because of you! Thank you for this tutorial!!

[@KonfuZer17]

Thank you for sharing this! Especially thanks for the screen shot of the sheet music. I listen to Gurdy's Green almost every day and have been wanting to know how to play it (on my cello). Can't wait to try it out!

[@HikariDansu]

This was excellent! Please keep the tutorials coming!

[@DVALENCIA1975]

Very nice piece of music even on chromatic armonica. Thanks for sharing!

[@zenpunkchef]

i know that in bagpipes the tapping notes between notes are called "grace notes" but i have no idea about gurdys, always wanted to learn how to play hurdy gurdy but could never afford one. i stand in awe of your skill! maybe some day i can save up enough to afford one and start leaning

[@saturnie1]

Thank you Patty for this tutorial, it's very much appreciated! And YES! Please make a video about glued cotton and rosin and how you can play in reverse!!! I really enjoy how you describe the ornaments as shivers and hiccups, it's very helpful :)

[@OverTheVoids]

Never seen a hurdy gurdy cover tutorial before. That was lovely.

[@BlaineNay]

Patty, we need some Christmas carols from you.

[@morganblackpowder1724]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Keep making these!

[@yanromano33]

Really nice. Even for who don't have a gurdy this is a great song to try .. It's also nice to see you playing and hear a solo of this amazing instrument . I found you after I heard the gurdy in Black Sails series intro's.

[@MrRuss1506]

Brilliant. Would love to play music like that.

[@jasonscott8323]

Thank you for another wonderful informative tutorial. Good explanation of the drone kick/hiccup thingy. It does set drone instruments apart. I thought it may have been something to bring timing inline as I know generally bagpipes and other drone instruments play really well for marching songs. 👍

[@timothyweiss9340]

I do enjoy your tutorials and enjoy seeing you smile.....

[@janweltenbummler2122]

its a very good Tutorial for beginers to play Hurdy Gurdy and its a nice melody

[@markpeterman4334]

This sings to my soul. 🌹🙏🏼

[@RIDDLE0MASTER]

This is awesome! Thank you very much for the tutorial!

[@nukemaru]

Love it, I start playing arabic oud 3 o 4 years ago and you kick my ass back in it again thanks, I love your music.

[@FabianJimenez-hu3mc]

Very good!!

[@chrisw3834]

I love your voice and accent. and you play the Gurdy quite well.

[@notvochkin]

Thank you! I don't have a hurdy gurdy, but it was very interesting seeing how they are played.

[@furzkram]

More of this, please

[@davidfanning1289]

Thumbs up for a hiccup lol. I'm still mesmerized by this tune, as well as your voice and accent. I think this will be one of my favorite melodies for years to come. It's a good tutorial, taught well. Can't believe it's almost been a year already

[@deivisaldreneberhardt4518]

Sure seems very well explained Patty (can't really say cuz I ain't a musician), always lovely to see you playing.

[@DanielStändigAmMachen]

Hab abonniert mit Glocke und so... Echt gutes Tutorial. Hurdy Gurdy ist das erste Musikinstrument, dass mich so richtig interessiert. Es wird auch das Erste sein, was ich wir kaufen und spielen lernen möchte.

[@Aethelreth]

Ich empfehle dann mal einen Wochenendkurs vorab, zb vom Bordun eV (Ende November wäre der nächste), um dieses Interesse auszuloten ;)

[@janapokorna3142]

Hi Patty. I have to say you've been my BIG INSPIRATION and thank you for this tutorial. And you know what? I've ordered my first hurdy gurdy (almost - we're now arranging details with the maker :D). I'm really looking forward to learn to play Gurdy's Green. But I have to wait a bit (few months :-P :D).

[@PattyGurdy]

that is great news!!! I hope you will have a lot of fun with it, thank you for the sweet message!!

[@smartassan]

I love this. Thank you for the tutorial. It is so clear and informative. Now for a Hurdy Gurdy.

[@UltrawideOdyssey]

Perfect video, Patty

[@jerrysowders9103]

I learned a lot ,thank you from Tennessee

[@peterdarling4208]

great tutorial thanks, I don't have a gurdy. but it kinda works on my accordion. Hope I don't get arrested by the gurdy police

[@PattyGurdy]

hahah, I'm sure it sounds great on the accordion, would love to hear it!

[@wolfgangullmann367]

Hurdy gurdy - WOW !!

[@ramjam6934]

you are like a celtic angel!

[@fancyfatale]

I have a HURDY GURDY comin at the end of this month! Ad ima play it so HARD with this song

[@cwealmdreoras2605]

Good tutorial, thanks!

[@alotrfan]

Patty I wish I could play Hurdy Gurdy. I’m just so lost where to start. I don’t really have an inspirations or motivations in life at all. It’s tough. Anyways, I enjoy your videos so much and I love Gurdy’s Green. You are so good at this!

[@ODMoins]

Spiele zwar keine Hurdy Gurdy, aber deine Videos sind echt cool und die Musik auch :)

[@StitchLich]

I want a hurdy gurdy so bad, watching you play legit gives me goose bumps.

[@BirdWhisperer46]

Just bought and put my order in today. Now the wait.

[@metalfan9000]

Awesome tutorial! Makes me wish I had a gurdy...

[@minerofantasma]

hola,Patty,no soy ni fui nunca musico,pero me gusta esto y estoy viendo de conseguir una zanfona por estos lados (Argentina) y aprender a tocar...

[@michaelreaper666]

Thanks ... great to see how you play this old instrument ..!!

[@Hdtjdjbszh]

Do you know how to play the firefly theme tune?

[@stevekreitler9349]

That would be awesome for her to play and make a video! It's got my vote!

[@heatherbaker4538]

She should do the black sails theme too! Maybe popular songs like that would make more people interested in the hurdy gurdy.

[@ellahurdygurdy3827]

i do! :) practising it on my gurdy

[@PhoenixLyon]

@@ellahurdygurdy3827 How's it going and which song 'Firefly' theme or 'Black Sails'? Please, PLEASE post!!!

[@catherineeaves2990]

There is a hurdy gurdy being played in the Black Sails theme song.

[@Lod1989]

Please a tutorial on the longing, I haven't been a fan long but I love every video keep it up!

[@mas2477]

Nice tutorial. If I had all the notes written one-by-one, i could arrange it on my synthesizer. Gurdy's Greeen was catchy for me :)

[@thomaslaunhardt6733]

Toll, jetzt hab ich Lust auf einen Workshop bekommen. Ich hoffe du machst noch einige Tutorials for beginners. :D

[@Aethelreth]

Ja, dann besuch doch einen Workshop! :) Wochenendkurse gibt es bspw. vom Bordun e.V., und der nächste wäre Ende November... die Anmeldung läuft ;)

[@billbolen8115]

Keep on making these kind of tutorials. They are very helpful. BTW, green is your color!

[@DVALENCIA1975]

Very nice tune also on chromatic armonica!

[@robabnawaz]

Sehr schön erklärt

[@michaelmuller8877]

yes, thank you patty !

[@sixpeer]

This makes me want to try my hands on a hurdy gurdy

[@MsDiscoish]

Love it!

[@timothyweiss9340]

Hey Patty all I ever was able to teach myself was twelve bar blues and b mobal....

[@williamsousa4832]

Lindo vídeo,ótimo tutorial Patty😚

[@BuckCalabro]

I never heard grace notes called 'shiver' or 'hiccup' before, but it's a great way to express the idea. I wonder if there are some rules of thumb for what ornamentation to play, like Great Highland Bagpipes have? Thumbs up!

[@chrischristian4639]

WOW just Wow 😮

[@528stevieethereal8]

Hypnotized by this instrument... I'm buying a 2nd hand gurdy

[@zoratamas4379]

Hello Patty! I started playing the hurdy gurdy many years ago but stopped after 4 years when moved to another country and couldn't go to a teacher anymore. I basically stopped learning after 2 years when I got a terrible, sexist teacher for the next 2 years... Anyways. XD Watching your videos is super inspiring and your style of music is really awesome. Please make many more videos like this, and share sheet music on your facebook if possible! You really help me to get back in track after not touching my hurdy gurdy for years (I know, poor baby, i feel terrible about it). Lots of love from Hungary!! (Actully from the Netherlands right now and Austria in the close future. XD)

[@umbra_eclipse]

This was the perfect kind of video! You are very talented and it is nice to get a lesson on how to play the gurdy! Also, I think I remember something about you getting a new gurdy. When do we get to see that?

[@PattyGurdy]

Hey, thanks! My gurdy will be built at the end of the year, of course I will film that too, as far as I can ;)

[@orangotangoalien892]

Love Patty ✌️😁

[@JustinTaylor-fu7eo]

So I screen shotted the composition, but without knowing how to read notes, it’s gonna take me a little longer to learn I’m guessing! Lol thanks for your great videos Patty

[@chrystiansilva4309]

Need more tutorials like this and also a Good Gurdy XD

[@donovanprimm457]

This song is so awesome.... my question is will you ever do a more extended version of it with a better ending instead of an abrupt ending ??? I wanted this song to go on longer and a tapered off ending..... I just cant stop listening to this song..... Anyway love your music and singing and wish you the very best in your carreer....... I am a new subscriber now and currently binge watching all your youtube videos..... Much love from many of us fans here in America. !!! 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

[@loiccheveau2187]

awesome ! vielen dank Patty

[@michaelpierce9076]

Very nicely done. Until I saw it on sheet music, i honestly thought some of the notes were different from the recording.

[@c.armstrong2978]

Thank you!!!!!

[@stevensouthcoat9961]

Brilliant tutorial. I have no one to teach me the gurdy; have you made a beginners video?

[@armisis]

Hope good sounding low cost gurdies can be developed as it would allow for a larger adoption of the art.

[@maximeloiseau8050]

I bought one new to begin, lower than 600€. Probably not a stradivarius HG... And limited to 2 chanterelles, 2 bourdons, no trumpet or sympa cords. Anyway, sound is good when you have understood how to manage cotton, pressure of cords on the wheel etc. But good enough to learn and get some pleasure of what you succed to play... sometimes.

[@Blackbird9424]

wow... Now I really want to learn to play hurdy gurdy :)

[@AzraelVM]

I just bought my first hurdy and I think that gonna be the first song that I'll learn. :P

[@mayzo7439]

Fantastic enjoy all your videos thank you for sharing😍

[@Thummy83]

It´s a interesting instrument.

[@jakescheirer3022]

Can we get the bar or two of the notation shown when you're demonstrating it? That's be great for us Visual learners, thanks!

[@Jarl_Pyke]

Könnte mir jemand die Noten aus dem Bild von 00:21 übersetzen da ich keine Noten lesen kann ?😅 Wäre super lieb

[@jaypearce6743]

You are so charming!. When I watch you, I love your hurdy gurdy music, but it's your appearance that Pease's me the most.

[@JackIsMe1993]

Can you let me know why this instrument/you bring me to tears everytime I listen to it?

[@reporilenze3098]

I love you so much! Ty

[@WitchHelga71]

Loved it 💗 Now do one on your KZbin theme 🎶

[@HerrFrites]

Cotton Tutorial please!

[@whitneysperrazza9475]

Your music is amazing! I am curious, do you have to know how to play music to play the hurry hurry?

[@angetapia938]

Preciosa you are the best. HERMOSA Felicidades good job

[@elmerrivascruz4984]

The longing please 😄

[@Vandragorax]

Where do I buy a hurdy gurdy for a start? And how do I learn for a total beginner? I have so many questions xD

[@iancollins9960]

I don't even own a Gurdy, nor could ever afford the price or the time for one. I'm just fascinated by this instrument.

[@jeremywilliams4381]

Not sure if you're still replying to this video. But, is there a way to mute the noise it makes when you hit different keys? The clacking of the keys, for me, interferes with the beautiful sound of the gurdy. Also I'll never play this instrument but it's great to watch talented people(such as yourself) play and explain things about this amazing contraption.

[@megorra]

Awesome . . . as ever :)

[@shaynemckinlay6406]

Can you play other Hurdy Gurdys out of the blue or would you tune it?

[@kennyb4871]

Fell in love with this song. I play it non stop while driving via Spotify. Amazing how much of a positive mood changer it is. Very fortunate I wondered upon this video. While I have ZERO musical talent, nor will I ever strive to play a Gurdy (I don't know if they even exist in the US), watching you has made it well worth while. You are as informative as you are beautiful, talented and personable. Many thanks Mlady...and THUMBS UP FOR HICCUP

[@tece81]

Hey Patty! Komme grad frisch aus Lißberg zurück (liebe Grüße) und konnte deinem Video nun frisch aufgewärmt gut folgen. Das PiP erübrigt die Fragen nach dem Fingersatz. Ähnlich hab ich es bei "the longing" probiert, komme aber nicht über den 1. Teil hinaus. Würde mich sehr freuen wenn du dir dafür auch nochmal die Zeit nehmen würdest :-)

[@ferdinandoschievano8467]

bravissima complimenti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
