The Papa Wobble - two techniques combined as one. Hope you all have fun trying this technique and plenty of patience in practise and developing it. It may well be a challenge and take some time to develop it but it can add feeling, beat and pace to your repertoire of didge playing. I first stumbled upon a jaw wobble many years ago in my playing/practise. Though I was also shown a tongue wobble technique, some years ago, by Kevin Howard, which added to my wobble. So nowadays, I incorporate a mix of jaw, tongue and sometimes cheeks for wobbling and use the papa technique with it, hence the papa wobble
Note that on the in breath (circular breath) on the wobble it's just a single sniff and not a double which you can hear (in video) which happened as a result of just trying to illustrate it.
Below is a link to the Papa Wah tutorial which will be useful here as it is part of the technique used for the Papa Wobble.

Thanks for this video.👍 I understand now my issue is the PapaWa part. I have no problem doing the 3-count wobble, but I've been trying to figure out the 4 count for months and it's just not clicking. At least I know what to isolate now and practice. I'll be sure to check out the other video. Just need to figure out the technique and build the muscle memory same as the 3-count. I can do them independently but when i try combining it my muscle memory goes back to the 3 count.

Greetings from Los Angeles, John. Thank you for the amazing tips. I am working on the wobble. It seems I have gotten the circular breathing down, and I am trying to get to the next level.

Thanks for nice explanation! Also your sound quality is very good. Can I ask what microphone do you use?

@johnthorpedidge 5 месяцев назад

The mic here is cad e300s. Took some time to find right position in room. Room sound/acoustics important and if you have larger room less of an issue. I've done video on Miking didgeridoos too.

@johnthorpedidge 5 месяцев назад

What mic do you have?

@SerPorit 5 месяцев назад

@@johnthorpedidge Currently I have only lavaliere one and want to get something more serious. I've read a lot of forums, people there definitely like shure sm57 (it's a dynamic mic) and not very happy with condenser mics (that's strange).

@johnthorpedidge 5 месяцев назад

@@SerPoritcondenser mics can sometimes be more finicky to set up right, particularly in poor acoustic rooms. You can get good results with an SM57, and it can capture the energy and vibe well and overall sound. It can also be a bit more forgiving than more sensitive mic in rooms particularly as it's starts rolling off from about 200Hz which can be helpful making low end didge recording bit clearer or less problematic. Though mic placement still important.

Hi from Wales John, tried Circular breathing but still can't seem to get it. But your papa wobbly sound great.

@johnthorpedidge 5 месяцев назад

Hi, re CB video taken another look from 2 mins and have go at stage 2. If you can get that (no stick used at this point), then you're on your way🤗. You are going to need patience in the sense of continuing to practise it and it may be frustrating but if you can get the second stage that's the hardest part to get. Once you have technique without using a stick it's easier to then get CB on stick, though it won't happen immediately. Glad you like the wobbly papa and hope it's all good there in Wales

@ROY-COLLEY 5 месяцев назад

@johnthorpedidge Thanks for your kind reply John. I filling my cheeks and pushing out with cheeks ,and taking a breath in through my nose. Without the didge, but can't seem to do it with didge. 😆 thanks

@johnthorpedidge 5 месяцев назад

Ok, that's a good start. You can also now practise blowing air from lungs then at end (of say one second blowing) crossover from blowing via lungs to the sniff/cheek squeeze. Also try other way round: doe sniff/ cheek squeeze first then crossover to breathing out from lungs If you can do this off stick it's then easier to do it on stick. However, keep in mind it's not instant to transfer off stick technique of getting it to on stick. It takes some practise but if you have the technique off stick it's just a matter of time to do it on the didge, as the hardest part to learn is the simultaneous sniff/ cheek squeeze, which you have. So don't get too disappointed as it will come🤗

@johnthorpedidge Thank you so much for your kind help. I'm hoping at sometime this summer ( if we have one ) to go to one of the festivals they have . I spend most of the summer after school breaks up over our caravan in Bridgewater Somerset. So I'm hoping there maybe something over the 7 Bridge somewhere.
