Master A Beginner Bagpipe Tune! (2nd Part of Cock 'o' The North) 

For years I have wanted to learn the bagpipes. I have promised my self that I will do this. i am hoping to be able to play at least a couple of tunes to celebrate my eighty seventh birthday on the 22nd of Jan 2022. I am so pleased that I have found your direct approach and great humour, this really does capture me.

I love 3 things in this video 1. your E-chanter 2. your vibes and good energy 3. your little child!!! (of course the tune)

Extremely helpful, video and re-learning the pipes.

Your baby is so dang cute and I'm so glad you did not edit that out that was adorable. I just got a huge dose of cuteness overload!

My sister and I are teaching ourselves to play bagpipes....she is 48 and I'm 50. Really enjoy your fun, easy way to learn a tune right away. Thanks for posting!

Alec, Thank you, Thank You, Thank You! I was about to give up again, for the 100th time. I saw your lessons, and love to return back to practice now! I've always wanted to play the pipes. I will get there someday! Mucho Gracias!

Just stumbled across your videos after just picking up a practice chanter and always wanting to learn the pipes. Great memory of my nan, she always used to hum and sing this song, one of my favourites. Enjoying the videos

Anxious to give the chanter a shot again... Great communicator...!!

Helpful, thank you. Starting with practice canter. Aim is 20 minutes practice each day then see where I am at after a few months with the goal of then buying and learning the bagpipes.

Thank GOD I have you to help me I have wonted to play the pipes my hold life I for one be happy to support your channel and by the whar can I get one of the cool hats wihh the red balls

I’ve been practicing the chanter for over a month now, and your videos have been very helpful. Thank you! I’m still a beginner, but I’m surprised by the progress I’ve made in such a short time, which wouldn’t likely have been possible without your help.

I find it works well when you are using the electronic chanter and can hear you talk give direction

I am having so much fun trying and trying to learn the bagpipes, my tutor, Mark Smyth is an excellent piper, he keeps saying to me " your making progress", your second video was hilarious, did you pay the minion an appearance fee! Thanks for the advice, it was really helpful.And the prompt reply was appreciated.I have a Festival of Music on Messenger.

Absolutely loving your channel! Just starting out on the chanter and so happy I stumbled across your channel. Keep up the great work!

Thanks a lot. Your videos are very helpful!

great

looks like great fun. Learning the bagpipes has been on my bucket list for quite a while .Can you recommend a good starter chanter ?

So far so good as I am learning it, Is there going to be a further part of the tune?

As a Scotsman just wanted to ask where your from and what clan your from & banging job on the lessons cheers

Lost 2nd part of Cock O the North but made contact again!simple tunes for the actual bagpipe is your next assignment please.

One I aam hoping for is ' "Old Lang Syne".

Great-day-in-the morning to you Alec, I pray that you are doing well.. I spoke to you about the practice chantwr sounds more like a dying duck even though I change the reeds but I ask of you another question.. Several years ago I purchased a practice chanter but one with a bag, most people tell me that I was just throwing my money away because it can best ne used as a wall hanger(decoration), but to me I find that with a bag I can vontrol the air pressure to push through to make the sounds, but I am still having some problems getting my sounds(tones) out even as I control rhe air flow.. Also my chanter is abit too long and I find that that's asomewhat a difficulty in holding at a distants mouth piece as well as the chanter bottom half, would it be worth keeping the chanter w/rhe bag or not? I found out that I can change out the camter for a shorter one if possible nut the practice chanter I have is the only problem even with the synthetic reeds and also how much of the reed base is to be inserted into the chante I apologize for taking up your time, I Thank You you and Appreciate you for all your help.. God Bless You.. Phillip Houston,Tx

The whole would be great, hurry!!!

hi i was wondering do u have the sheet music I could print out ?

do you recommend an electronic chanter for "newbs" so we can practice without getting winded?

I just ordered a McCallum practice chanter. My goal is to play the reelpipes with a bellows. Seeing your chanter, I am concerned I made the wrong choice. What do you think?

How u playing the chanter without blowing into it or am I just stupid 😋😋

Exhausting!

Cute 🥰 boy
