2 reels and 1 jig: The Road to Errogie/The Banshee/Knocknamoe

[LadyDistelfink]

Very nice dude! I like your interpretiation of Flook's interpretation, cause I really like Flook - hah, that makes sense, doesn't it? xD

Anyways, you're doing very well, there are some mistakes, but your playing the whistle half as long as me and somehow you are way better than me - tell me your secret and keep the good things coming! See you ;)

[theherpman94]

nice, man. Any chance you could tell me what chords you're using for Road to Errogie?

[jigyjack]

got to admit you are the shizz on the wistle dude haha but no offence maan you are kinda suck at the guitar haha :L

an mhaith ar fad! dia leat

[abraxas123]

I am curious what this means, can you give me an english translation? : )

[feilimb]

It loosely means 'Very good altogether, fair play to ya' :) 'Dia leat' literally translates as 'God to you' but is used in not such a religious context - while listening to a live song/music and it is also what you say to someone after they sneeze!

[abraxas123]

Aha! Thank you for the nice comment and the gaelic lesson : )

[tskent87]

Great men!!!! 贊！！！

[3rdDerivative]

I like the sound of the F. I'll need to try to get my hands on one sometime.

[usfenderfsdlx]

thanks for the great video! i love low f whistles. they always sound especially great for some reason.

[WhistlemanNL]

great playing!!

My only critque would be that on the B part of the road to errogie you always play that opening phrase the same way. while its a lovely phrase the ear picks up on it very easily and so that is an opportunity to do some variation that the audience will notice :)

the first one that comes to my mind would be:

(on a D whistle) degd/egag/abba/gggd...etc.etc.

[abraxas123]

Thanks for the tip. I will add some variations to the B-part. I still have quite a lot to learn from great whistle players like yourself, I guess. My technique, timing and variation skills will hopefully improve over time, as I am still quite fresh on the low whistle and flute.

[WhistlemanNL]

they'll come in time, don't worry. My way of developing variations has always been to just sit and play the tune i'm working on for a loooong time. usually i find if i play slightly slower than i'd normally play it I can pick up on variations much easier

bien hecho amigo mio!!

:)

How about Lúnasa's version of The Miller of Drohan. Much F in here.

:-)

[abraxas123]

Funny, I was actually thinking about making a video of The Miller of Drohan, and Ceol na Mara (from the Otherworld album). Might try to combine the two. What do you think?

[aanvil]

Sounds like a good idea. Love Drohan. I did a dirty four track of it a good while back where I covered both whistles and the flute and a little percussion. I should try and to a vid like that. I have no idea where I stashed my tracks!

[abraxas123]

It´s a good thing you forgot where you stashed your tracks. Now you can have the pleasure of re-recording it all : )

I would at least appreciate it if you do in the near future. Too bad I don´t own a Cello. It would provide the perfect bass for The Miller of Drohan and Ceol na Mara.

[aanvil]

Nicely done!

[zvehee]

seven stars for me too ^^ this video is wonderful ! i really love these tunes, and this whistle has a perfect sound !

[JSCWhistler]

Wow, you're doing pretty well for someone who hasn't played too long! And I'm lovin' that whistle... If only I had the money for a Kerry... *sigh*

[abraxas123]

Thank you!

I bought mine from Phil Hardy when he made a few price reduced whistles - £150 a piece. He still has 2 Kerry-Pro D whistles for sale for the same cost. I know you can afford it if you just sell something you dont use anymore, as it in general is a very cheap instrument compared to others.

[kirst95lol]

i luv the road to errogie! brilliant tunes = ]

[Karkade1050]

Another great video :)

[erbekrer]

Great ! Very nice playing !

[AbyssalLyrist]

I love the sound of these low whistles you use. So used to seeing the usual D everywhere on youtube. Nice!

[chansherly212]

lovely! great skills!

[dvfddd]

You re professional! =D
