didjeridoo lesson 1

[didgesbrew]

If you say breath in an out at the same time: That´s not possible. While you breath in the tongue and (not nesseraily the cheeks) push air out to make the lips vibrating.

[ogidaubik]

The mouthpiece on my PVC didj cracked because I accidentally dropped it in really cold weather. I didn't have any more beeswax, so I made a new didj out of a tube of wrapping paper covered in duct tape. It's almost as good as the PVC one.

[PatDog11]

There's some good info here but its a little misleading. It's not actually possible to breath in your nose and out your mouth at the same time; the actual technique of circular breathing is to expel air - from your mouth- via the checks wile you draw in air through you nose. :)

[Jeebs74]

can you do it in french

... lol

[Jam1457]

Very helpful, thanks!!!

[delagolf2k]

visited australia years ago, had a small one but never knew..have been looking online past few days..good job Turtle, can tell you're into it...also showed my friend and he is now set on getting one and learning to play

[Transane]

diggin it dude! and i can tell you are too. i feel the vibes from your soul and the didge

[D4rkMatt3r]

i got a 2" think pvc pipe and made a mouthpiece but im havin trouble getting everything down right. should i go get a 1" pvc pipe to practice on for now instead?

[scopein79]

@D4rkMatt3r

Yeah, i can't make sound my 2" pvc didg too... I'll go for one inch.

[Transane]

@D4rkMatt3r 1.5" pvc is better. you might find 1" too hard. also make sure its not longer then 60".

[freakofmagic]

Hi, I got a didjeridoo the other day and found this lesson, I've heard something about circular breathing, where you breath in the nose and out the mouth at the same time. I'm not sure if this is necessary based on what you said, but if it is, is there a trick to it?

[mikelson1988]

I got one too the other day and i was very sad because I couldn do circular breathe, but then one day... when you dont think you´ll do you do it. there is da trick, the practise :) Now im trying to make different sounds but in on it...

[ITurtleDreamer]

You do need to be able to breathe in a circle in order to play. The trick is finding enough time to practise. I will try to break down the technique in next weeks video. Start by playing in your Didg and when you need a breathe take it in through your nose and keep your mouth on the Didg. Continue for 5-7 min without taking your mouth off your Didg. Goodluck.

[wolgat]

he is kinda stoney?

[ITurtleDreamer]

Thanks man!

[shaxtar1980]

Fabuloso, chabón estás re loco.

[DecemberInEngland]

Sad face, I can't flap my lips like that. I could for like a month, a year ago, and now I can't again. :( It should not be hard but it is.

[chronogeist]

[eyetheskies]

LOL! I see! I was trying to play mine somewhat like a horn, practically blue my lungs out.

Good video! 5 stars buddy!

[paparat47]

[bigtimeweb]

Turtle

Is it just for comfort reasons why you play out the side? Does your mouth get fatigued otherwise??

[JingleJoe]

I play on the side, I just play there because I find it easier than playing centrally :)

[Ferretband]

i'm a side player also, it is whaever is easiest. Try it, i find side easier because i have quite thin lips

[laurie2006]

Digeri-don't

[greatnothing42]

hey laurie2006, digeri-go fuck yourself,k.

[PKTO92]

NICE one greatnothing42!

[javinovsky]

Cool tutorial!

Muy bueno che...

Saludos

[gabrielejazz]

circular breathing is not really difficult to do. when you understand really in what consist you can do it. i learned it in 5 hours. ALONE. i can't understand why someone need years.

[oneminuteworkout]

yeah bro it took me a good year to get it down..thought I would never be able to..just keep didjin..peace

[kechotai]

excellent, waiting for more

[rizkyadika]

Yeah, i love hippies! Peace dude! Serious dude, no war and peace to all, meditate!

[ketamine101]

is there a second one?

[dsarverr]

This is awesome haha. And I found it pretty helpful. Thanks!!

[RooEyes]

sad, very sad

[eljivansda]

bee wax for the mouth piece

[dswerdlove]

Very nice. I just visited the Outback Center in Sydney for a didj demo, spent some time with the artist afterwards and picked a C# didj, which is a little low and air-hungry for my beginning chops. But, your suggestion to go with PVC as a starter didj is a good idea. I'm a sax player who can circular breathe all day long on a sax but the didj uses up my cheek air too fast. I'll learn to optimize the air stream with practice and the PVC seems like a good "training wheels" approach.

[captainhardass]

try playing on the side of your mouth. i find it easier to regulate the airflow better that way.

[harpo2343]

how did you make the mouth peice?

[stefanieelle]

didjshop <dot> com / didgeridoo_care / didgeridoo_mouthpieces <dot> h t m l

Remove spaces and insert dots where specified.

[captainhardass]

the mouth piece is just a small coat of beez wax around the hole, just to make it smooth so there is no abrasiveness from extended playing.
