  • duuuuuuuuuuuude you fuckin rule

    it gave me the goose bumps

    keep on playin man

  • So beautiful! I try to incorporate irish music's delicate turns and implementation of trills in my flute playing... interpretation makes such a difference to a piece... This was a blessing to my ears, thankyou :3 (inspiration to fellow self-taught players, too!)

  • You play amazingly good, and I love this song.

  • That sounds great! I'm thinking of learning this instrument, but have no idea where to start. The tin whistle sounds like a really good idea to learn the basics.

  • Im english and all I can say is that the sounds of those pipes mesmerizes me. Its so beautiful and haunting I can barely descibe it. They have a soulful melancholy which is utterly bewtching. Fabulous stuff. First heard them nearly 40 years ago on Mike Oldfields ommadawn album. They get me evry time.

  • It's believable because some people actually have talent, like this guy. We're so exposed to pop trash we forget that some people are actually very good musicians ;) Great stuff man :) Very beautiful. I love the Titanic Theme. "Rose" is probably my favorite variation of it.

  • But what you hear isnt what you see. Tell me how that works, take a cd, play it to your video? Is that how it is done. No ofc, you play like this after 4 months.

  • bavo!

  • This is absolutely beautiful!!!! Nice job!

  • 4 months and you sound like this? Wow! You sound great

  • trotzdem sau schön

  • aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh hängt bei 0:40min

  • Heartbreaking, as it should be. Thank you.

  • Great sounding pipes man. Awesome job

  • 4 MONTHS?! Dear God man, you truly have a knack for it! Subbed for sure! Can't wait to hear more from you!

  • Beautiful... beautiful...

    

  • this is beautiful

  • so beautiful:) i think it's extremely attractive when a guy can play these. lol

  • verry good!! post more as u learn them lol. thanks

    

  • Wow. You play like this after only 4 months?? Beautiful.

  • ilove titanc movis

  • nice tune and tone. Great piping

  • Serious talent and you NAILED IT! INCREDIBLE!

  • nice work!

  • Very good love it

  • Sounds great. The space effect makes it just better. Fine fine

  • Great video. As another comment said hard to believe you're only at it 4 months. Do you have a background in other instruments? And are you self taught or did you get lessons?

  • @downsy1: Thank you! I played guitar before and I played the tin whistle for half a year. Its normally recommended to start with the tin whistle to learn the ornamentation and the basics of Irish folk music. At that time I had had one lesson. Today I've had two lessons :-) But I learned with the book "the new approach to uilleann piping" by Heather Clarke. I hope that helps!

  • Nice playing from the heart! I have an irish folk music and we play the highland and smallpipes; i, personally have look forward to playing the uilleann pipes. The one you play,, can you tell me where can i get one like those? how much was it? congrats and keep playing! Regards from Mexico.!

  • Wow really good!!! :o

  • Absolutely incredible. I've only just discovered this beautiful instrument. You're awesome dude, it's hard to believe you'd only been playing 4 months. One question remains: how do you pronounce "Uilleann"?!

  • @holland2312 I think it's pronounced "Oo-Lean."

  • @holland2312 It is pronounced "Ill-in"

  • Astounding sound quality and absolutely beautifully played.

  • So good :)

  • Haunting Beautiful!!!

  • unbelievable !!! :)

  • Hi, great video! I was wondering what key your pipe is?

  • The sound that your creating is soo AMAZING you've got some real talent there dude :)

  • I think your amazing bro :D no homo lol

  • I have to listen this song for everyday xD

  • u are so great, thanks a lot for nice video

  • You could play this after only four months? D: Amazing work. 

  • Awesome! Sounds just like the movie

  • David Daye makes a great sounding practice set for about $350.00

    Give yourself 1-5 years on his chanter then if you are doing ok you might consider ordering a Kirk Lynch half set. True his sets are not budget, but the sound is reliable and his reed seat makes adjusting the reed height much easier than most. Eliot Grasso plays Kurt Lynch uilleann D set. Google or youtube searches should supply plenty of further information.

  • he is to playing you dont even no what reverb is idiot

  • Beautiful

  • Whatevever the talk:that ,was just beautiful!

  • Sounds great

  • Fantastic. Would you be able to play 'Gabriel's Oboe' (by Morricone) on that? It almost feels like it was written for the pipes more than the oboe.

  • You are not playing..... too much reverb for such a small room and where is your mic???

  • @memecool69 Bagpipes don't need mics, and audio effects can add echo. Or are you just trollin'?

  • @picardkid never mind just forget it. Keep playing like that, congrats

  • Das ist einfach nur super!!! Habe sowas schönes noch nie gehört! Ich liebe diese Melodie

  • thats a cool instrument. not common at all. you play really well  keep it up.

  • 3 ppl dont like this cuz they're jealous and they probably dont care much for the people who died on the titanic... god bless you and keep playing

  • which of vignoles' sets did you get? (Practice, half, full, or full concert)

  • 4 months.... wow....

    Guess your a natural :D

  • OMG THAT IS AMAZING....YOUR A FREAKING BAD ASS

  • wow. you play fantastic :-)

  • This music is beautiful.. nothing like this... the music! the movie! everything around The Titanic is wonderful.. good work, man! ;) nice melody!

  • henkerugi, are you playing a full set? I know nothing about a practice set, full set, half set? I would like to learn, In this song that your playing what set are you using?

    Thank you, you play very well

  • Brilliant!

  • Can you please send me the music to Tiatanic? my email is powerclean@aol.com and I have just started to learn the Uilleann Pipes too!

  • Amazing! Greetings from Germany

  • Bravo

  • nice work lad

  • Mate that is amazing, how did you learn to play so well, i've had a go at Bagpipes myself, and ive been told the Uilleann Pipes are twice as hard to learn, bravo!

  • This is just wonderful mate! Wow fantastic playing, your amazingly talented.

    Would you ever want to be featured on a Electronic track?

    DJ

  • Was it hard to learn this instrument?

  • How'd you figure out this tune? By ear? Or did you somehow come into contact with sheet music?

  • I just started learning on my pipes. Mine have been crafted in NZ and I live in Australia. Im still struggling with the second octave and get RSI in my inner pal under the thumb. I LOVE ths ounds. Any tips? Thanks for inspiring me to learn this track. I'll post t here when I am near good enough. Peace:)

  • man is there anyway you can send me the sheet music to this

  • Well done, mate! Keep it up.

  • hey can u give me some hints on what brand i can buy? ( to give u a background of my budget i cannot afford a mc cullum pipe but still i don't want a pakistan junk)

  • @SHAMYDDJ: Mc Callum makes Scottish Bagpipes, what I play here is an Irish Bagpipe "Uillenn Pipes". So if you want a bagpipe that sounds like mine (which is the one from Titanic, Braveheart...), then you should get yourself such a bagpipe, which means an Irish Uilleann Pipes. The most inexpensive quality sets of uilleann pipes you can get for ~700$. Patrick Sky has an great reputation and makes a high-quality budget set fro 750$ -> google Patrick Sky, the first match

  • @henkerugi hey 10x for the reply just 1 more thing what is the bag made out of? is it panatyne?

  • @henkerugi those pipes sound so beautiful

  • @henkerugi 750 is a good price and your pipes sound nice i bought my first set second hand they were made by cillian in ireland and the chanter is hollywood i was lucky as this cost me only about $300 but its so important to have a good reed and to know a good reed maker who can make your reed to you own specifications this is important as pipers have their own needs paddy kennan uses a very hard reed which must be really difficult to play as it needs more pressure from your belows

  • @SHAMYDDJ same lad i really want a starter set and not some cheap shite i want the native real thing! sadly im a peniless student

  • can yhu send me the ABC notes for that through email ? thanksss edonnelly1234@hotmail.co.uk

  • che bella!! greetings from italy

  • Comment removed

  • WOW well done sounds great

  • Been looking for a set of 'cheap' pipes, not sure where the best prices are, and what all i'd need for basic enjoyment. let me know more about your setup please, and some pries. thanks

  • First of all, more than likely the soundtrack isn't matched to the video. Being a piper myself, I'm sure the picted piper can play the tune because of close observance to the fingering. Given that, it's a grand recording!!!

  • Does anyone know where to acquire the sheet music for this rendition?

  • @steandar :'( i live in Canada damnit all to hell lol. Awh well me and my Lady are going to Ireland and Scotland for a trip next summer maybe ill grab a set while im there, thanks!

  • @ssjadam: Then Neil O'Grady from New Foundland may be the closest option for you. Neil has an excellent reputation and his prices aren't so damn high. I have a chanter of him bought via ebay. Have to let a reedmaker check the reed and afterwards I will upload a video with it. Good Luck.

  • @henkerugi yeah please do!

  • hey dude sounds great ive been trying to find my hands a set of uileann pipes wondering if you could tell me where you got yours?

  • the only advice I have is to lose the watch, cause you play like time is standing still...brilliant...can you email me the sheet music for this, I know it won't sound as good, but, I am a foolish man with many pints to drink. cheers.

  • Less triplets n this wud b perfecto

  • Hey man, Great job! I am a GHB student and I would like to eventually move to the uilleann some day, any pointers for the eventual task ahead? Also on that note, do you play the highland pipes? Please keep up the amazing playing!

  • Damn dude, i need to start playing again, do you have the sheet music for this? Good job dude.

  • All,

    Been playing GHB & smallpipes for years. Been playing my practice set for 4 months. Where can I acquire sheet music for major titles? Hymn to the Sea(Titanic), Braveheart, etc...?

  • I've never heard of this instrument. But it is very beautiful to listen to. And you hadn't been playing it long? Wonderful job!

  • very, VERY well done, and you are so beautiful too! It's like a bonus :)

  • very nice, especialy for 4 months. looks like its easer to concentrate than playing with a normal bagpipe, because you dont have to blow.

  • excellent! i hear the uilleann pipes are the hardest and you're this good in 4 months?! i bet you cant wait to get the full set, the drones are my favorite part of the instrument.

  • I strongly advise that you get a tutor book by H. J. Clarke, "The New Approach to Uilleann Pipes". Also, try to join forums and the Uilleann Society both in Ireland and here, Na Piobairi Uilleann.

  • My posting is in reverse. Start at the bottom and read upward.............LOL SORRY!

  • Anyway, thanks for you posting. This theme tune is much of the reason I initially got into the Irish Penny/Tin Whistle and eventually the Irish keyless flute. I am lucky to have found a young lad, Matt Lewis, that gives instruction and refuses payment, if you can believe that! I tease him that he fed me enough Irish music to get addicted.......LOL. Thanks again...

  • I got to meet Mickey Dunne this Spring here in Houston, Texas. He brought me my first Starter Set. He is one of the kindest and most endearing pipers you will ever meet. If you haven't met him or heard him in person, you must make that happen.

  • Hey up mate. I am an old fart starting on the Uilleanns. I certainly wish I was your age! I think you did that quite well. I am using that to learn your arrangement on my Starter Set.

  • dude, this is awesome, I just bought my first practice set this weekend, a david daye set. Hope to be playing this wonderful tunes soon.

  • Very Beautiful! Music like this makes me proud to be Irish!

  • Hey man, if you were playing for 4 months at that time consider yourself a genius. I play the Uillean and the GHB and it is not easy! Keep up the good job.

  • Hey man you did a very great job!!!! keep working............will you save more video?!?

  • i really appreciated this,beautiful job!

  • das not normall. i love that movieee

  • beautiful!!

  • Well done!

    Greetings from Germany

  • welche Stadt?

  • Krefeld!

  • Düsseldorf!!!!!!!

  • I'd give anything to have this talent!

  • A few hundred dollars for a set of uilleann pipes, 4 months of playing daily for an hour is everything you would have to give ;-) But ahnks for the comment!

  • I sold my Kilberrys and am waiting on my Uilleanns, I hope I can play as well as you in 4 months. You put your heart and soul into them. Slainte

  • henkerugi, outstanding!, didn't know they could be purchased for so little. Then you need a teacher and a place to practice!... wonder if it is possible to learn properly on your own with instructional materials of some type?

  • @tobycat11 "so little" means at least 600-700 ;-) Don't buy off Ebay, the stuff there isn't playable.

    Yeah, you easily can learn that instrument by yourself with the book "New approach to uilleann piping". Altough its very useful to see an experienced piper who could show you some stuff, but not necessary.

  • henkerugi, thanks for eresponding, I started looking into it a little and from what I gather the pipes by David Daye are a pretty safe bet. Also, from what I gather, looks like the players of this instrument do it by ear and not so much reading sheet music (?)

  • thanks for sharing that, I enjoyed it very much :)

  • oh that is so beautifulllllll awsome

  • fantastic...i need to find the sheet music somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can anyone help? I need the uilleannn pipes version and Highland version... PLEASE HELP!!!! thnx!!

  • I was wondefring when someone would do "Titanic" on the pipes. Thanks a lot! Wonderful!

  • very well man. Keep it up. I enjoyed your video and hope to see more in the future

  • Excellent!!

  • that was crazy good!

  • awesome :) u play very well :)

  • Respect ! Awesome! i love Bagpipes

  • @naglfarvkg

    There Uilleann Pipes, they sound total diffrent

  • You sound really great guy.. I play in an epic metal band as you do, I am a keyboard player... But I'm also an irish musician, I play whistles.. I'd love to play uillean pipes but I've got no money to buy a set...Will you give me your msn ID?

  • That was awesome! You owned it man!!

  • nice man ..good job!

  • this was beautiful!

    well done!!!

    :)

  • wow so amazing

  • Where you get the sheet music from?

  • Four months only-Holy St Patrick!

  • Absolutely amazing....

  • Comment removed

  • Too rushed and not enough feeling!!

  • I agree!

  • Still pretty good for just four though

  • ...Damn you're good.

  • Congrats!!  So impressed :)

  • Brilliant!

  • do you have the sheet music for that? i play pipes too and that would be awesome if you could tell me where to get it

  • i enjoyed it very much you are very talented. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!! :)

  • Beautiiful:) You're very talented

  • This is a good tune what ever kind of Pipe its played on.... Well played Mate :-)

  • Good job ! Two thumbs up !

  • o..m..g.. so Beautiful T_T

  • is that a practice set?

  • Yes, its a practice set.

  • well anyways that really good playin

  • Great!! Sounds to me as if you have listened a lot to the Titanic Theme from Innisfree Ceol before, sounds pretty similar. Good job, keep on piping!

  • Thank you for your comment! I actually listened a lot to Hymn to the sea of the Titanic OST but I've never heard the version of Innisfree Ceol (until now). A nice version they have but I think its too hard to beat the combination of orchestra and pipes/Low Whistle in "Hymn to the sea" or "Unable to stay, unwilling to leave".

  • my god, 4 months? ive been playing 3, and am nowhere near as good as you are!

  • very nice playing! by the way, how did you get that echo effect? was it a computer editing thing?

  • Its a computer effect I made in Pinacle Studio 9. And thanks for the comment!

  • Amazing ! Congratulations ! I'm beginning with this instrument. How did you learn it ? Thks.

  • Thank you very much. I use Heather Clarkes tutor "The new approach to Uilleann Piping" but I also had a lesson with a experianced pipes so far. I strongly advise to have a lesson or two with an experianced piper since he could awakee the piper in you ;-) Good luck.

  • Thanks a lot for your quick reply and advises ! It will be difficult to find one in south east of Belgium, but maybe in Bruxelles. I hope to play like you one day !

  • y'en a plein en flandre mais pas a bruxelles.

  • I like the sound of the pipes . nicely played !

    But as tangjkd said - Put more feeling into it.. and try to hold the long notes a wee bit more - then it will be perfect :D

  • I absolutely love the sound of the uilleann pipes. I enjoyed your video and like to see more videos like this!

  • Well Done !

    Not bad at all for 4 months.

    Bit of friendly advice - get Michael Cooneys CD - A Stone's Throw, some nice tunes on that. Might be of interest to you !!

  • nice :)

  • Na - das ist doch mal völlig wunderschön!

    Ich habe es genossen. Musik zum träumen...

    Leben - und leben lassen!!! :-)

    Herzliche Grüße für Dich!
