Jack Lee: World Champion Bagpiper Live on Maui '06

[@bababell]

Wow does not even begin to explain how your music made me feel.

[@cybersamurai69]

I just met him tonight, at my local piping group, here in North Vancouver, BC. He is the nicest guy, a great teacher and knows his stuff!

[@terrencetjj69]

The best i've ever seen yet in all bagpipe players this guy rules the bagpipe world great video

[@jimedwards9310]

I've watched this video 500 times .. beast mode Lee. awesomeness

[@mbwamkaliUSA]

This is tremendous. Doublets and triplets, notes within notes, technical mastery and beautiful artistry all in one. He is doing this musical heritage proud. Thank you for the post.

[@bituco94]

Once this guy was my judge on a piping solo competition. No pressure kid I thought to myself.

[@kwaniesiam]

Oh my god... Bagpipes are the most amazing instrument ever invented and by golly that man deserves his title. Awesome!

[@joehostile4541]

I found a 13 year old comment

[@pmbear]

I love how just shuts his eyes and makes it happen. Jack can say to the world, "I can do this with my eyes closed"... and can he ever. :)

[@seawyfe7289]

Winner today at Blair Castle Glenfiddich championships!!! Congratulations

[@Gaelforced]

Tears of joy run down my face....his fingers like pieces of silver smacking of that chanter....damn it's great to be alive....

[@FlyingPiper13]

I watched this video before I played highland bagpipes, and I thought "hey, that's pretty cool." Now, after several years on the pipes, I think "HOLY WOW, THIS GUY SMOKES SKILL!!!"

[@MexicanBagpiper96]

It takes people to know a piper. It takes pipers to know REALLY good pipers.

[@finnsemmler2786]

This is absolutely amazing playing as a piper myself I can truly appreciate the sound of clean fingering perfect chanter and tunes drones I could listen to this medley 100s of times and not get bored of it well done jack you are the best bagpiper I have ever herd

[@aumoaum]

OMFG..... Theres just nothing like the fucking pipes. Ultimate sound of defiance. God, do I love it!!!

[@bearanan]

Jack is the nicest, sweetest man I've even met in my life. I love him! and cool vid

[@charlie1pipes]

Jack is without a doubt one of the greatest pipers alive today

[@7digger3]

That was so Metal!!!! Thank you!

[@marosgrajcar6999]

If I was a judge in Scotland got talent I woulde give you a goldin buzzer 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jamesstewart5635]

Top drawer as usual. Very clean and articulate performance. Bags of music from a grear player indeed.

[@jdkaminski1]

Anyone on this blog who knows anything about piping would recognise this is pretty unbelievable playing. My teacher was a very eminent piper, and he could put on a show - but this unconventional technique was not even known to, or heard by, that generation of traditional pipers. This is kind of what Paganini did for the violin. And musical, not just technical. Great!

[@dontbetreadin4777]

Im struggling to find the Unconventional technique... Just seems like a very talented piper.

[@Pipezilla]

excellent video. Jack Lee is a very, very good piper.

[@gizzycatcat6468]

This man has such an excellent talent. Who could do such a thing as he did, beautiful and gorgeous. And he was true in his performance. Just a complete marriage of sight and sound.

[@mr.skills1110]

omg! this is my uncle, im telling the truth, i am related to him, my uncle is the worlds best bag pipe!!!!

[@bryleagordon8104]

Ok sure...

[@SunnyMackey]

@@bryleagordon8104 Ok but why would anyone have motive to lie about that? I mean he's a bagpiper not many people know that, so they really have nothing to gain

[@aumenarys]

@@bryleagordon8104 People in videos on internet don't live in an alternate universe, there are bound to be people who know them you know.

[@Terribleathletes]

Your uncle is a bag pipe?

[@XxAILASxX]

this is just purely amasing... THIS IS WIN

[@javedsaleem641]

Great piper i listen many times

[@jamieswainston881]

Jack nails it once again. Perfection :)

[@havatselet]

Wow. It is so important for less experienced pipers (like myself) to hear this kind of skill and artistry once in a while - just to keep us inspired and goal-driven. Thank you for posting this!

[@DELTA1978THETA]

This is EPIC!!! Great job Mr. Lee and film crew!!

[@chrste1712]

absoulutley amazing! champion by far!!!

[@Erik2Maron]

Simply the best there is...what every piper should strive for.

[@johnhuddleston8647]

I was just curious, being that you are a student of his, is there anyway I can get a copy of the sheet music for Afternoon at The Green Monster. It's the second tune he plays. Everybody I've asked has no clue where to find it.....except at Fenway Park. Thanks.

[@tacomagirly]

Ewan Jones Same

[@weepiper11]

He is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@khaithianthang]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !

[@armel551]

Long before I had seen this video I had heard of his reputation as the best piper in the world. In fact, I played bagpipes many years ago and listened to the recordings of pipers who were considered among the best. Jack Lee is certainly at that level. It seems there are always those who will say "I've heard better" or "I've seen better" in any artistic or sporting endeavor. Please provide some (any) documentation that what you're saying has any validity.

[@joehostile4541]

I didn’t know bagpipes could make those sounds

[@luukdekker6626]

So good

[@wilhelmklaus-dieter8981]

Elizabeth Connelly

[@Otacon144]

Nice to meet you, Mr. Jingleheimer-Schmidt. :D

[@pmihai108]

AMAZING!!! this is a great instrument,one of a kind. I am romanian, the romanian analog for bagpipes is called "chimpoi". Truly beautiful

[@aidan9472]

In 2010 I used to get lessons from I was only eight he he was an inspiration I only wish I could get some lessons today

[@GodHammer227]

This guy is amazing!

[@sgknexmaker]

lol. First tune is Swagger. :P I couldn't find it anywhere...so I took the easy road and just memorized it off this video. Always nice to have a hard copy for others who hear it and want it though. ;)

[@NESHA12301]

That looks very hard to do. The sound is so wonderful.

[@Shlokrawat101001]

excellent music

[@LyraKeltica61]

@Gaelforced Your awesome. You must love bagpipe music like me. I was once obsessed by them, tried to learn to play but couldn't no matter how hard I tried. They are an awesome instrument of war. Have you ever watched the documentaries Ladies from Hell and A Call to the Blood? their documentaries about how the bagpipes becames known as instruments of war, and how pipers were actually banned in England during some period, can't remember but they are great videos. God bless, Mammal46

[@david5murphy]

Great musik. I'm definately going to learn the bagpipe.

[@inakigarategonzalez7273]

legend

[@Nlghtxhawk]

[@manoharini]

OMG!!! are you the same Jack Lee from SFU pipe major? I am coming to see the practice tonight! lucky me!

[@amangill612]

[@Sweetb3z]

[@jbauschatz]

The second tune is called Afternoon at the Green Monster

[@javedsaleem641]

Excellent

[@MyYoutube1000]

LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES!!!

[@oboe921]

Mindblowing...

[@piperschmae]

I love how relaxed the playing sounds. Jack Lee is the Shiz!

[@joehostile4541]

Kevin this comment is 12 years old

[@mnx4u]

We still have Ceol Mor (the Great Music) the original Gaelic music for the pipes (often known as piobaireachd), some of which is known to go back to the 1200's (e.g. "The Blue Ribbon", which I believe dates from as far back as that). And we have a wealth of Scottish folk music. Please remember, the words and the tune are often two separate things.

[@hipocampelofantocame]

I'm speechless, and I never realized the pipe's potential.

[@fbfootball16]

All I can say is wow.

[@coldplay3989]

Still ny favorite❤

[@rowti]

Saw him in concert several years ago. During the performance two of his protégés came up behind him and began acting like they were turning an invisible crank. "the Machine".

[@seawyfe7289]

My favorite

[@phantompiper2793]

Beautiful

[@kalebthomson9169]
