This is a great service you're providing for the piping community. Although I'm taking lessons from our piping master, having you to refer to during the week, using the same material is a real help. Thanks Lad! Much appreciated. Michael in Maine
This is great, really helpful the way you play it slowly and break it down, makes it much easier to understand an otherwise complicated task for beginners. First class instruction in all respects. Tutors take note! Many many thanks to you,
I'm not sure if you even keep track of these videos anymore (I see comments >5 years old) but they are a great resource. I appreciate your effort to help the new folks like me by making a great set of instructional videos. 😉
I just started learning in January, and your videos are AMAZINGLY helpful! Thank you so much for making and sharing these videos... you are so right, it's so much easier to learn a song once I have the tune in my head. :)
I play and teach both. When playing, which one is used depends on the tune. As I've been taught, Piob is always a light. For light music, it's the preference of the player, pipe major or instructor. The main thing to beware of in light music, is consistency within a tune or set. Don't mix and match within a tune or set. When teaching, I show both a couple weeks, let the student gravitate to one or the other, but insure they are at least familiar with both.
Sorry for my traduction, but thank you so much for you'r help, i'am French "Young" player and i try playing alone since few month. If you ave not put your pictures in youtube, for me practice was gone out of my house. Thank you so much
3 months, and 3 tunes.. and ready for pipes? Does your instructor know about this? While my experience is rather limited, I've rarely seen less thatn 6 months and 5-6 tunes, played and memorized before making the leap With just those 2 and a half tunes, have you even learned all the basic embellishments? Not to rain on your parade, but this would be of some concern to me. Please keep me updated with progress. Keep practicing.. but practicing -smart.
