some weeks ago i found your movie and it worked for me partially. But is wasn`t satisfying me. Sometimes a little bit frustrating because it looks so easy and i felt like a idiot. Today I went back to your movie took a beer and tried it again and it makes CLICK ! Now it works !! I'm so happy .... ! My wife is impressed. Thx Man - I love you. Thx for this great help and now another level is open for me !!
great stuff ! and it would be great to get more like this. Your way of explaining - "everyone can do this" and how to practise is very helpful. thx again ...!
There is a question in the end of my message: My DGD project is now 40 days old and consists of aprx. 20h of neighbour and family irritating relentless work. Your tips help. I am a very poor and super healthy guy and like the idea of an DIY instrument for breathing, grounding and staying under the infrared rays of our sun. My tubes for breathing include a pvc vacuum cleaner tube, three different card board tubes of different thickness and diameter and my absolute favorite the 13x sparkling "vichy" soda can doodle opened and glued together as a tube. The PVC and soda thingies end is fixed with a beeswax mouthpiece. The vacuum tube can be inserted into the rest of my DIY's as a core. So many possibilites here. Do they play well? I have no idea, as I have never owned a real didge and still do not. I can sustain a drone easily 45minutes, but have no technique skill set alas the drone and simple slow LFO resonance and filter cutoff like the roland tb 303 acid drum machine does. This is exactly my problem, I come from a singing and live dj-set performing alley and not from an instrument such as flute or trombone background. The breathing is my true skill and has been so for over 15 years. The Q: To obtain a strong and fast changing colorfull sound, is it how much of the strenght of the lungs or just the shape or lenght of the insturment? Maybe even the mouthpiece? This is very very addictive and I hunger for more. How long does it take to be able to perform for an audience me with no prior experience and just listening to the DGD sounds one can come up with?
Hi! Thanks for your comment. To answer your question, i recommend you to get a somewhat proper Didgeridoo first. The one you build might not be the best solution. I would start with a cheap PVC Didgeridoo which you can get for around 40$ online. That way you will have proper back pressure, a good mouthpiece and it will be easy to clean which is very important for keeping germs away. To be able to perform on stage or on the streets it depends on your talent and how fast you learn. The strenght of your lungs is not that important. If you can circular breath for 45 minutes you are already able to perform. From there you can build up simple rhythms and develop your repertoire. You wrote that you are poor. If you cant afford to spend 40$ on a PVC Didgeridoo, you can also just buy a plastic pipe with a lenght of 1,20m to 1,50m for a few bucks, put some beewax for a mouthpiece and start with that. Hope that helps. If you have any more questions please feel comfortable to ask. I will reply in a few days...
The best way to play and learn is by hard tongue didgeridoo And different tones can come from pressure difference in your mouth, position of tongue on teeth
@@user-ib5ss4dt4y I assume you might put too much energy into the excercise (drone pressure, cheek pressure) overloading the muscles. Try to play the excercise with less force and relax. It takes time to develop the muscle strenght and muscle memory. I needed years to learn that, so dont give up and practice every day but dont overdo it. You will get there buddy! How long do you play the Didge?
@@didgeridoothedeepmechanics Thank you for the advice, much appreciated. I've been playing off and on for 15 years. Not seriously.didgeridoothedeep, will you make a video on animal callsl?
