[piedpiper0085]

please practice! bagpipes are an instrument that need to be mastered on the practice chanter before playing the actual instrument.

as everyone else has said.. you need to W O R K on your embellishments, throws, strikes, tachums, grips, etc, etc.

[irishpipermilw]

Your middle tenor drone is flopping around. This makes it harder to wrestle the octopus while your playing. Adjust your drone cords so that your drones are positioned properly.

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you veru much.

I was very careless about the check before playing.

I take care and keep more practice.

[irishpipermilw]

You have been practicing. We see that on your other videos. Keep it up!

[whoawhoawhoaitsmagic]

A bold first attempt playing publicly when you haven't completely mastered the instrument yet. You REALLY need to practice embellishments (gracenotes, doublings, grips, tarlouaths, throws on d's, birls.) Sit at home and play each exercise very slowly on chanter. About 10 minutes on each exercise a night would do wonders. Sit at home and do some slow exercises in time with a steady beat from your foot. And make sure to play tunes slow when you first get them. Then you can improve from this time.

[hcurtis77]

Your on your way to being fine. Enjoy the learning. Have a nice day!

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you.

I continue to practice

[Highlander1758]

you have to slow down and pratice more it might not be fun but you will become mutch better and a pleasure to listen to it's not a race.

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you very much.

I take care to move slow and accurate.

[Quaysidepiper]

higashinagasaki -

I can't give any more advice than that already given. I just want to say hello to you and my friends!

Hello.

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you frinnd,hello.

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you very much for many accurate advices.

I will toke care about adjustment of each reed.

[higashinagasaki]

Yhank you very much friend,for concreat advice about how to practice.

[J2OLDS]

Fortunately for this fellow he lives in a culture, in which saving face, and preserving the face others is paramount to the function of their society. Far be it for me...I think he would benefit from a softer chanter reed, he's obviously working it. The drones are very quiet also. Despite the deficits --- His concentration is good and a decent repetoire.

[bawb10]

ahhh!!!!!! kill him for putting this video where it could harm the eardrums of others!!! this is not something that should be on the internet

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you frnk comment.

For internet I could recieve a lot of advices.

[williamswhistlepipes]

well done it takes a lot of time and effort to get where you are, try to listen to other pipers and cds so you can get to tune and play as they do,i think you may need to slow things down a wee bit all the best james

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you very much.

Yes, to play slow is my important subject.

[Rebelpipers]

1) tune your pipes

2) dont rush things, play slow and clear. I always say to my students to play slowly and in rythm.

3) dont choose hard tunes like Steam Train yet. Stick with some easy 3/4 and slow marches until you improve your fingering.

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you very much.

I effort to basic fingering.

[Bloddsvik]

Ouch^^

How about tune your chanter and drones? :)

Next time watch for the position of the drones over your shoulder...

[higashinagasaki]

OK tank you.

I noticed when I finished plaing.

Lines of drone was complicated

[clausreiss]

Hahahaha. I love that version of Steam Train to Mallaig. It should rather be called Runaway Train.

[higashinagasaki]

Oh runaway.

Thank you.

[pipercop94]

Mr. Higashi, I applaud your efforts. It seems that all the people who are criticle of your video forgot that they too were there once. Nervousness has made many a piper play too fast. It is by doing the task that one gets better. Keep playing and keep making videos, WE all can learn from someone else.

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you very much.

To take video is very good for find my weakpoints.

And to up You-tube as this,many veteran pipers give a lot of advices and impresions.

[charpentour]

It's not music, it's mashed potatoes !

The pipes are not tuned,

There is no ryhtm

You are playing too fast

Your playing has no personality, even if you're dressed (disguised) in Scotsman.

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you for comment about the pride of Scotsman.I will take care that.

[piper60]

Hello there, By the way i really love you outfit kilt etc, I agree with Highland piper, you should try to find yourself a tutor, if you cannot get a tutor try a dvd tutor, this will help with tuning your pipes etc, also it's better to play an easy tune great than to play a harder tune badly, all the best with your piping , Piper60.

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you very much.

I have a tutor in Japan.He says same things as these all comments.

But he says that March and Slow air has not so big problem in lesson playing.

The big probem is in jig.

[iamcain]

It takes a lot of bravery to get up and play in front of people and he may have got a little nervous. I have only been playing for 4years but I have been told to stick with basic tunes played at a comfortable pace and most importantly stay on the beat. You can always improve doublings but staying on the beat will sound musical... keep playing, well done

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you very much.

Yes that`s light I am too nurvous in front of audience.And the marching on the down-steps was problem for my playing level.

[resto776]

no comment...

[nicolassch23]

ach du scheisse!!!!!!

mmmm Ok I am starting with my piping but it is really important to fierst play a tune slowly and WELL and then start to play it faster !!! I Thing We piper we are a big family all around the world and there we are to help us each other!!!!

Keep piping and slowly

"the Kilt doesnt makes the piper"

Best wishes

NIKO

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you for heartful comment.

I take care to play slow.

[williamswhistlepipes]

well hes a real tryer and may be learning himself,im a piper learning to play a low whistle i can tell whats right and how the whistle is surposed to sound by watching and listening other players on you tube or cd,s but well done you have you must have put in a lot of effort

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you very much.

I will back to basic,and practice more accurate.

[arkansasbagpiper]

He would of been better off to just play Scotland the brave in an pick High Road or something. People in general want to hear what they know. STB being one of them. Amazing Grace another. This will not leave a good impression with these people.

[TheHighlandPiper]

I agree with you!

He should try to play slower tunes with better played doublings and with an tuned pipe when he playing puplic!

My teacher always telling me to play slow and nice doublings faster i will get by myself at time!

He say not who play fast is an good piper who play well sounding doublings is an good piper!

I´m not perfect but i try to do my best at playing the doublings!

Best regards

Andreas

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you I agree with you.

Scotland the brave is familiar in Japan,too.

[askmrlizard]

You obviously have had some sort of piping education because you have clearly set ideas on the embellishments, and I know bagpipes are just about the most difficult instrument to learn and play. You should, however, not be attempting tunes like "Steam Train to Mallaig" or "Glasgow City Police Pipers" in your early stage in your piping career. If you don't have a bagpipe teacher, please get one. Your high level of enthusiasm combined with a teacher will make you into a great piper!

[arkansasbagpiper]

I agree with you.

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you for quarified comment.

I also think not to have to play difficult tune.

This movie is good self-examination.

And many coments are good help for me.

[arkansasbagpiper]

This is a good example of what NOT to do! He should of tuned and fixed his ropes. And who knows what the tunes were. Stick with the basics.

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you for quarified comment.

I will practice more basic.

[arkansasbagpiper]

ohhhhh Kkkkkayyy

[TheHighlandPiper]

Hi my friend!

I will send you an video i made specialy for you!

It´s very important to tune the pipe before playing puplic!

Ok after some minutes you have to tune again but the basic will be made!

It will sound much better when your pipe is in tune!

Keep up the good work!

Best regards

Andreas

[higashinagasaki]

Thank you friend.

fingering become too fast,this is very bad example.
