Clumsy Lover Smallpipes

[devchev78]

yeah this is pretty much awesome. I just learned my first tune, barnyards of delgaty on the chanter, give me a few moremonths of lessons and I'll be learnin this reel. nice piping. i like your ceilidh pipes too, they're sick

[nowweareone]

more like clumsy piper. you're obviously awesome, but an audience will not enjoy a tune that they cant tap their toe to.

[StAgX500]

Nice job man!!! any Idea where i could find the sheet music for this?

[mynameisfin]

Jesus christ man slow the hell down. That tempo is so far beyond your capabilities that you're missing out about 50% of the embellishments. You're running before you can barely walk there!

[Paudman]

good, but too fast. slow down and concentrate on playing well and accurately - the speed will follow. If indeed it's required at all!

[johnny3734]

Smallpipes are made to be played sitting down, son! Haha, but it sounds good. I'm surprised they're not bellows-blown like most smallpipes o-o

[sallan111]

Shame to spoil a good tune like that.

[Cadetpiperlvl5]

in this you are rushing and speeding up, and all your notes were being crushed together. in essence slow the hell down, cuz it didnt sound good at all. there is such thing as playing a tune too fast

[MoorOfDundee]

VERY COOL!!!!

[johnnyhorton2]

do you still play them

[johnnyhorton2]

what key are these in, and what modle are they

[jwhitson]

@johnnyhorton2 Looks like Walsh smallpipes in A to me.

[pmbear]

Man, I have a set of those in the basement... you remind me that I want to get them out and get them working properly.

Nice tune, one of the most popular of the late 20th Century really.

I liked!

[SuperDrummer89]

wow wow wow slow down!!!!! ur good just slow it down

[bea1980uk]

I love this so much I've uploaded you to my ipod lol xx

[picopanpipe9]

@bea1980uk It's an honour :)

[riparianlife97701]

That's the fastest I've ever heard the awkward fuc... I mean the clumsy lover played!

[mathyou9]

What's up with the three douchebags who dislike this?

[streetcopper]

@mathyou9 Obviously.....they hit the wrong button DUH.....LOL

[BG1961v]

INCREDIBLE!!!

[Xxmygreenheaven]

sounds pretty sexy epically the way you played the fourth part. i might start playing it that way. there is however a noticeable difference in tempo at the beginning of each part. its impressive that you can play that fast, but even more impressive would be a controlled tempo with a lot of feel and expression

[picopanpipe9]

@Xxmygreenheaven LOL! Thanks for your comment and observations, I've been working on my tempo-keeping - I'm a bit of a nervous player :)

[d1v4dPwnz]

are smallpipes easier to inflate then the great highland bagpipes?

[picopanpipe9]

@d1v4dPwnz I've never played the highland pipes but from what I've heard smallpipes need more air.

[d1v4dPwnz]

@picopanpipe9 i stand corrected

[kaypiob]

@picopanpipe9 Smallpipes need less air, actually. You should try bellows sometime, particularly if you're only playing smallpipes--better for reeds. Good playing, though! Get yourself some highlands as well!

[792284001]

@picopanpipe9 They don't its about the same. Easier if you play with bellows(But thats kinda obvious.) How long have you been playing mate?

[jwhitson]

@picopanpipe9 Uh, no. The highland pipes take much more air and pressure than the smallpipes (since they are larger and louder).

[sSolDiiEr]

@picopanpipe9 nope the small pipes are a lot easier to play than the highland pipes I wouldnt say im the greatest. nor the worst but i have both I sometimes struggle with the highland pipes but playing the smallpipes are a lot easier to keep going :) (Y) would reccomend playing them through smallpipes first untill your really comfortable with it then going onto highland pipes

Well played buddy keep up the great work !

[MrThedalaillamaknows]

@d1v4dPwnz To clarify, smallpipes you end up blowing more than on a set of big ones, but that is because a big set can (obviously) hold more air, but this means they (again, obviously) take more air to fill. A good way to gauge is by whether you can play pipes or chanter longer, i personally can play normal pipes longer than an unmuted chanter, because i actually end up blowing more when i play chanter, than when i play pipes, same goes for smallpipes, but smallpipes are easier than chanter.

[thesoloist1000]

very good piping!

[gchapman1211]

This tune would be much more pleasing if you slowed the tempo. No one is impressed with music so fast that it's just noise. Play MUSIC.

[Magsterzb]

@gchapman1211

whats the fun in that?!

[fattyabbo]

wowo thts really impressive!!

[BIGHOWDYROCKS]

Why do bagpipers walk when they play?

To get away from the noise!!!

[backflipbushido88]

@BIGHOWDYROCKS No, because moving objects are harder to hit:D

[lordfinnoneill]

Good job, but was a bit fast.

[theherpman94]

that's very cool. do you have the music for that version that you could send to me?

[music3gurl]

That's pretty awesome!! I could use some pipes for some gigs that I play in the area. Where abouts are you from? I'm a fiddle player and I play in a celtic rock band part time.

[picopanpipe9]

@music3gurl Thanks I'm flattered! I'm all the way down in New Zealand so I doubt I can be of much service but that sounds cool!

[music3gurl]

@picopanpipe9 oh Wow! I've always wanted to go there! Well if ever you come on up to Ontario, Canada you got yourself some pub gigs! :)

[RandeleighWas3]

clumsy loverrrrrr <3

[EsMeDiEvAl]

pro aixó no es un sac fol ??

[BagpipeBoy58]

Sounding good mate, but you might wanna slow it down a little because that last bit was a bit sloppy otherwise your playing quite well with decent gracenote definition and mostly clean notes. Good effort

[Odenpiper]

Whats the names of the

tunes you are playing, & how can I or anyone find the sheet music?

Are you playing on Walsh

smallpipes?

Look to see you play more

on youtube.

[leonard0861]

you playing faster and faster. you missed the bus????????

that makes it a little dishavelled.

but yoy play here better than I.

[unfreakinreal]

Sometimes you have to throw the traditional way to the wayside and kick it up a notch! It is one of the best kick ass renditions on the tube!

[CAPTEdju]

great playing. What is the name of your smallpipes. Are they more or less maintainence than the great highlands? Let get more songs on there.

[MarkFingal]

great !!

[EvanMonster]

Good job. I too am a big fan of Heath Richardson or Slainte. Its amazing how badly he gets bashed on youtube, and how much people dont appreciate his playing. I think he is awesome, I dont know why people think he sucks so bad.

[sizefam4]

Nice pipes there! Great playing! 5*

[picopanpipe9]

Thanks! They're good fun :)

[unfreakinreal]

Great stuff!

[picopanpipe9]

Cheers!
