Love the tension and contrary motion the chords give. Epic stuff!!!

[@jerrygord3131]

Absolutely loved this. Fantastically creative and driving.

[@joefoley1600]

[@brianreynolds9931]

Wow! Top class performance.

[@dddaaaa9]

Bravo from France ! I loved your version of the Banshee and I hope you 'll record it again with this sound quality... Very good feeling !

[@reginapiper]

Love the "crans" in the 3rd part! Lovely playing Matt.

[@MattMacIsaacMusic]

Thanks John! Really I'm just bringing my thumb back and forth across the High A hole in time - 123 123.

[@RobertBenoit13]

Excellent!!!!

[@JM-xk3xs]

Really loving this Matt. Just came across it through your notice on Dunsire.

[@MattMacIsaacMusic]

That's great, Janette. Share as much as you like!

[@MattMacIsaacMusic]

It is circular breathing, yes.. I'm afraid my editing skills aren't there yet ;) I think there's a shot there where you can see my cheeks puff out and in again (one of the blurry shots). Thanks for watching!

[@hipocampelofantocame]

It was so good. Damn!

[@jawnpawlsawn]

Trying to get my head around the High A strikes... Impressive is an understatment!

[@wikwyre]

Do you circle breathe while playing the chanter? Or is there some editing involved? Brilliant play.

[@Orourkebanjo]

This is just great. You sound like a lilting bumblebee :3

[@bestpipermom]

Lovely! Is there any way of getting a copy of the music?

[@hunters.5627]

Do u have to lift up your finger the whole way off for a g gracenote or can you lift it half way?. To me it looks like u do it half way, but I get paranoid on how high I should lift my fingers for gracenotes

[@pipertripp]

Thanks for the inspiration to learn this tune! Do you have tabs for the guitar part? I have a friend who plays and it would be neat to play this tune along with him. Still need to learn how to circular breath though. I should give that a go at some point and finally just learn how to do it.

[@MattMacIsaacMusic]

Hi there, I don't have any music or tabs for any of the guitar parts but I can try and jot down the basic chord progression I'm following there. It's tuned to DADGAD, as well which will change things.

[@pipertripp]

Matt MacIsaac Thanks Matt, I'd really appreciate anything you can put down on "paper". Cheers, T.

[@northernpiper94]

Hi Matt, I love your playing. Have ever since I saw you perform a couple years ago. Can you explain the really quick ornament you play right at 1:31 on low a that seems to involve at least 4 fingers? Thanks!

[@davidsamson1453]

Zachary Hollen It’s a G-D-E played on sixteenth notes instead of on the eighth notes as you would expect in a jig (I.e. played “one, TWO A THREE” as opposed to “ONE TWO THREE”)

[@MattMacIsaacMusic]

hey Zachary... it's called a "cran" and it's G C D E :) hope that helps you... 5 years on! haha

[@skeetyeet4910]

Sheet music please??

[@zoltanbiro4459]

this circular breathing is something that i just can not understand, i Play whistle for 2O years but ...how the hell can u use the same airway to breath in an out at the same time?????
