Quincey Matjaki Wunungmurra, among the best didgeridoo playing you'll hear in the world!

[Vince77F]

Good player again but different from Marrilaga.

Marrilaga seems more powerful and plays faster, whereas Matjaki plays with more feeling and groove to me.

[XPditif]

Wow! Awesome player Guan, thanks for sharing!

Wow! :)

This instrument reproduces the harmonic resonances of Creation or " The Dream Time" as the Aboriginees refer to it. I ain"t craszy though!

[MrRay2008]

I reckon Larry W. and him are hard to compare. To me it seems Larry plays with a little bit less voice, but therefore more power from all other available sources. Larry is easier to follow for me too, these Marrilaga guys are so fast and play with more complexity... But, just talking my ignorant stuff, only heard two yolngu live myself: Djalu and Mirrwatnga - in Italy last year. Hearing yolngu play live is the only way, I was really amazed with the power and pressure of Mirrwatnga!

Larry is a powerhouse, so strong and his timing impeccable. Matjaki and Marrilaga have a more classic sound though, a lot like Milkayngu. Actually, I was trying to copy Matjaki by playing along with this clip yesterday and then I realised a lot of the riffs sound like variations of Milkay's tuition in his Hard Tongue CD.

[MrRay2008]

Ah yeah ... "THE" CD ... Been practicing with this CD for 3 years now, and finally getting better ... Didn't think of it, but yes, Milkayngu has this terrific voice element too. Thanks for your reply, and thanx for the videos, this "live is the only way" doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the vids, they are great, and I try to learn from them as much as I can ...

[ididjaustralia]

There's lots of ways to learn and in different contexts, and the best really is to sit down with Yolngu and spend lots and lots of time listening and practising. If one has a good ear and is patient, one can learn very quickly just by listening to CDs or watching videos. Some of the very best non-Yolngu players I've heard are Japanese and some have never been to Arnhem Land!

[MrRay2008]

Thanx for giving me hope, please confirm that there is hope, look at sound samples on milkyray . com, 3rd sample from top is the most recent, played on a home made sandwich didge ... if you have time and gusto to do so, thanx :-) This is the result after 3 years of practice, pretty much everyday for about 1 to 2 hours ..., but hey, I'm an old man of 43 :-)

[ididjaustralia]

I took a look at your page and listened to the clip, but there's only one called "home is where you play at your best" with yidaki mixed with drumming. Is that the one? I like it, sounds good. Improvement can be made by using more throat and nasal effect, at the moment I can hear only the tongue so there's not as much texture and depth as a Yolngu player but that's ok, getting the nasal/throat effect right is THE most difficult thing for a non-Yolngu player to achieve.

We can bring this to the iDIDJ Forum technique section to discuss more, we only get 500 characters per message here on YouTube.

[MrRay2008]

Thanx, that is a good idea, i started a topic in your forum!

[ididjaustralia]

Ok, see you there!

[ShannonAvalon]

This is more then great!!! WOW!! 5*****

[ididjaustralia]

My favourite segment starts at 2.05... some amazing riffs in there.

[MrAussiepride]

Djirri-nyurra Hope you all had a awesome xmas and a even better new year love your work the Yirdaki is always deadley from your channal they should show your videos in all Australian schools teach them somethink use full for a change

[Rwinter74]

I always enjoy your vids very much guys!!!

[sonofthedestroyer]

He is a class act for sure.

Larry is a master of free style. This guy and his brother more mathematical.

I can draw parallels with other musical instruments and their different types of experts

[hoopygo]

Hey Guan

my favorite is Larry WiniWini Gurruwiwi

very good fast playing

best technique

many styles

simply the best !!!

Yesssss

[ididjaustralia]

Winiwini is fast and does syncopations exceedingly well, most definitely. I reckon Marrilaga and Matjaki are more technically accomplished though. Their embouchure is spot-on and they have classic technique that sounds exactly right.
