How to Learn the Bagpipes - Lesson 8, The Birl - Falkirk Piping 

Dude, you just became my favorite piping instructor. That simple.

Neil, I am the idjet that's been doing the double tap method for 3 years with zero success. Learning your 7 method now. Thanks for the lesson.

Excellent instruction.

Interesting. I do the tap drag, but without sweeping the pinky downwards first.

Really enjoyed and appreciated this tutorial. Thank you, sir.

Cheers Neil...very helpful.

Realy helpful your lessons, even for beginners as I am. Thanks very much.

really helpful - thank you!

YES YES LESSON 8 FINALLY I AM THE 100TH LIKE! I AM NEIL CLARK - FALKIRK PIPING's BIGGEST LARGEST BAGPIPPER

Thank you Neil

Edit; figured this out even with a pinky that doesnt bend at the end. (Ripped tendon) Lesson 8 completed April 16th 2021.

I can't stop accidentally lifting half the low A finger at the same time making a fuzz sound for the whole thing. Any advice on this?

How long on average does it take your pupils to master the birl Neil?. The 7 one. Cheers mate

good

Hey Neil, Learners should feel like their hands are gonna fall off! It’s called practice 😎
