What kind of whistle is that, which you play on a number of the tradlesson tunes (the brass high d)? It sounds great. I have a Copeland, but it doesn't look like one of those? Thanks, Michael! These lessons are extremelly helpful.
Oh... and I Forgot. ANY tune is good to practice on, if you simply try to get the notes in sequence, then in slow time, then ramp up to final speed. There's no difference. They're all tunes! Just don't try to be an expert on day one.
I'd recomemnd Cambell's Farewell to Redgap. It's a bagpipe tune, but I first learned it on fiddle...it's got a steady pace, and I personally found those easiest to begin with.
@Antidrugged I find jigs easier to learn than reels. Not sure why, but I can pick them up fast, but reels give me fits with phrasing. The phrasing of a jig is more or less built in, but not so with reels. At least, that's how it seems to me.
Thank goodness for a lesson!!! I've been playing tin whistle for about 2 years without anything but the most basic instruction so any help is much appreciated.
even though I am fiddling and not playing the whistle,I am finding this very useful, as for the style of this kind of playing.the only thing I am having trouble with is the second part which I can't figure out with translating the whistle to the guitar but hopefully I'll figure it soon I am also working on morrisons jig and have memorized the butterfly.wish me luck.^-^
COOL and thanxz for the notes too, TAPADH LEIBH!

@james34565 Only with Uilleann Pipes, or other pipes with a 2 octaves range (like Northumbrian Smallpipes with keyed chanter).
Someone plays a modified version of the tune on some kinds of mouthblown pipes like Galician Gaitas (which have a range of 1 and half octaves).

The Road to Lisdoonvarna is a good one.

I appreciate the angle of the camera, and the slow way he played it the second time. Very easy to jam along with (my hammered dulcimer)
