I'm a fan. I'm very interested in learning. Anyone have any pointers as to where to start? Should i get a practice chanter first then buy a set of pipes after a while? Or should i go all out, buy a set and learn that way? Just wonderin. I'm doing as much research as i can. Excellent playing man.
A practice chanter is the way to start. It's great to be able to practice your fingering whenever you'd like and not have to wait for the ideal time to play the pipes. After learning the rudiments and a few tunes then it would be safe to get a set. "Goose pipes" would probably be superfluous; just go for the full set.
@chinngis83 thanks for the advise. I'm gonna take that advise too, theres a shop about an hour and a half from me that makes kilts and is a dealer for many different pipe brands like Gibson and such. They also have a pretty nice selection of practice chanters, regular and full size. I'm going to get a full size one, I have long fingers and want to learn correctly from the start. I'm self taught on drums, piano, bass guitar and recorder, but I want to learn the pipes right. thx again:)
I like this. You are awesome playing. I am hoping to at least get to the point where I can play even just one jig song. I started playing 1 1/2 years ago and I am 67. Tried competeing solos (piebr) at Loon Mt Highland Games this year. Wish more people would get interested in music like what you do. Good luck !
Great playing, very enjoyable. If you don't mind me asking, what drone reeds are you using aswell as what brand of chanter reed. Great tone overall, nice balance. Keep up the great playing, look forward to more videos.
I tell you something Ian Ive watched your videos playing the practice chanter and Ive found these vids of you playing the pipes dude. Your damn good , cracking sound, great fingers and playing style too dude. Keep it up fella.
Gush i like your technique.... you have some very sharp gracenotes.... not too fast, but just like I like them..... Nice tuned pipes, and lovely played tunes. I hope that I will find the time to become that good.... and to all of you guys...... this is the result of practice, practice, practice practice and practice...... not money, new pipes or luck...... practice......
no, i am not from sweden, however my father is (he was born in 1940 in stockholm, and emigrated to new york in 1957). Besides traveling to and visiting throughout most of the rest of Europe, i have been to sweden numerous times. My parents raised me deeply entrenched in scandinavian culture and cuisine and such...
Good pipeing friend. Pipeing is in my family I got an uncle who was Dysart and Dundonalds Pipe Major. Another uncle of mine plays for them to. My cousin plays for St Lawrence O'toole, and my other uncle was Pipe Major of the Black Watch army. Im learning the Uilleanns.

@SvenskPiper Doesn't it seem that Powder Horn is in 12/8?
The call and answer phrases seem to fit better. Try counting it's measures in 4 and see if you know what I'm talking about
